message 6362: by Eric (new)

Eric Timar | 14 comments Thanks for the invite. I try to make myself useful in intros, so:

-Fiction I've been recommending is (are?) the short stories of Jack Mauro in Beautiful Man.

-Nonfiction: Treasure Islands by Nicholas Shaxson, about international tax havens. Not particularly light reading . . .

And here is a bit of my writing, from my historical novel set in Nicaragua in 1926; a brief description of Bluefields at the time. Peace.

Skarlet Realta (skarletlurealta) | 4 comments Hello all
I joined Goodreads just a month ago. Rick contacted me to join this group as he felt I had some intriguing views about the incredible mystery and alchemy of life I have experienced and so expressed through being an author, alchemist and philosopher...
It is my experience that we are all the powerful alchemists of our own destiny if we dare to reclaim it...
So a big thank you to Rick and hello to all... I look forward to some interesting discussions!

Don G. (dgford) | 16 comments A bit more about me:

I start my books and then the tedious editing process looms over me, but it has to be done. "The best writing is rewriting." E.B. White

grassroots08 26 March 2013 09:15

While I was wasting away, waiting for my newest book to surface, I got frustrated watching everyone else's book fly into publication, while I was still in the wings.

When I got the word last October that my book was coming soon, I STUPIDLY contacted all friends and relatives to let them know. BIG MISTAKE!!! This will never happen with me again. Unless that 'puppy' is in my physical grasp, I will not promote my work.

So I was not the only one waiting, all of my pool of acquaintances waited with me. Then friends and fans fell off. "AH, he doesn't have a book coming out", but I decided the first of March that my book was going to be out there; if I had to print and color the darn thing myself.

Welcome, "Connect the Dots", and before the end of this week, my next book "Funny Business" will be out also. I'm thrilled and my readers will be too, finally!
Cheers, Don

Wendy Webb (wendywebb) | 2 comments Hi all,

When you're the author of spooky tales and go on a book tour, people tell you their own ghost stories. Believe me, I've heard some great ones. I thought you might enjoy reading some of them in latest article for the Huffington Post books site on the best ghost stories I've heard on my ongoing tour.
