I loved this title, too. Even checked it out to find more about the book. Great review by Whitehead. I agree, bad guys should be bad enough to want to whack. My Kindle died. This book made me want to get a new one.

A little introduction. My name is Serina Hartwell. I am a poet, blogger, amateur photographer and author. I finally made my writing dream become a reality when I released my first book in April 2014. Hidden - Book 1 of The Hidden Saga was my writing debut. It was released on April 15th through my publisher - World Castle Publishing, and can be bought in more places than I ever imagined it would be.

It has been such an exciting roller coaster ride since launching, Hidden, that I find my world has completely changed for the better. With my head still spinning at the speed of how things have progressed over the last couple of months I have set about writing the second in the series, Trapped – Book 2 of The Hidden Saga, so look out for my notifications and updates.

You can find those notifications along with lots more of my work on my blog - http://serinahartwell.info/about/, which includes my poetry, my amateur photography and many blogs about how I became a writer. Take a look and follow me to keep up to date with what I’m doing.

[Lora]

My name is Lora, and I have wandered over from the Novella group. I like the classics, I write, and I am involved as a stay at home mom who does cyber school with her kids. I garden, I am LDS, I like letter writing, and I really enjoy a nap that comes as a pleasant opportunity rather than an imposition that my fatigue will not let me ignore.
I should say I have written, and want to get it going again. But I never lost my reading, which has been a good comforting thing.

[Cynthia]

Hello all, I'm Cynthia and I have recently published a fiction novel: Aba and Shamana, for children ages 8-13 yrs and all young at heart. It is a story of love and friendship between a giant donkey, Aba with supernatural abilities and a young girl, Shamana who raises him. She is a visionary who receives messages through vivid dreams and is able to determine the fate of others. The story is set 2000yrs ago in a middle eastern village, Bethel. Aba's main attributes are his loyalty and protective instincts towards those he loves. Aba is faced with many challenges and experiences great despair at his inability to protect the one he loves with tragic consequences. Through the darkness Aba must find his way back home and only through Shamana can his heart once again find peace. I have had a song created for the book which will soon feature on You tube and on my site which is still being fleshed out. You can learn more about me at my site, http://www.abaandshamana.com feel free to visit and say hello. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak about my book.

[Neo]

My name is Neo Jade, I write profusely. I also read religiously. I've read too many books to count, though I'm doing my best to add them all on Goodreads, as I remember them.
My last residence had literal wall to wall, floor to ceiling, books. Now they're all in boxes in the garage waiting for their inevitable release.

I am new to Goodreads, but it looks like a great community to be a part of. Already I've found some books that I didn't know existed from authors I enjoy reading, that I can't wait to get into.

I live in LA, CA.
I write mostly Sci-Fi/Fantasy. Though I'm soon going to be working on a children's novel in the vein of Alice in Wonderland.

My first published novel, DNA: The Awakened.

Mad Dog Justice

Dear Readers,

I’m proud to announce that today is the official publication date of Mad Dog Justice, the sequel to Mad Dog House. This time, childhood friends Roddy Dolan and Danny Burns--prey in the crosshairs of unknown killers--must evade death while concealing their own hideous crimes from the police, who are asking all the wrong questions. It’s available on Amazon, Barnes& Noble, and IndieBound as either an e-book or a print book.

It’s also sold at many bookstores. Have a look on Amazon for a brief synopsis of the novel and see the endorsements it’s received from internationally bestselling authors in the thriller/suspense genre, including Andrew Gross, Simon Toyne, Jon Land, Raymond Khoury, and Joseph Badal. If you purchase and enjoy the novel, I hope you will post a brief review on Amazon.

Hello my name is Vicki Zell and I write mystery thrillers. I have a thriller out now at Amazon, titled; Identity Crisis by VLZ and my new thriller, The hut in the woods is due out this coming November. So check my book out at Amazon. It is so very hard to get an audience for fiction when you are an unknown author. So many good books by so many unknowns. I have been trying to get my books noticed through internet and radio media. Any author out there, good luck to you, it's a hard road.

[Jeffrey]

Hello Rick! Glad to be a member. http://Booklocker.com/books/7244.html is where others can see an excerpt from my science fiction book THE HEALER.

Vicki here and I write mystery thrillers. I have a book out now, Identity Crisis by VLZ and my newest mystery thriller will be out in the Fall 2014, The hut in the woods. Hi everyone.

[Juliet]

Hi to all,
I'm a debut author, busy writing my second and third novels. My first novel, 'Together They Overcame' is available on Amazon.
‘Together They Overcame’ is a love story between an Israeli soldier and the daughter of a German Catholic.

As the tale unravels, it becomes clear why such a relationship in the 50’s might not work.
Although there are graphic sex scenes between the young, married couple, the story is really about their struggle to survive the hatred of the mother-in-law for his wife because she is the descendant of a German Catholic. The setting is in Israel in the late 50's, not long after the holocaust and the memories of the concentration camps still prevail.

[Shelley]

Wow Coolbeans!!! I am an artist 1st poet 2nd author most importantly a grandma. On any search my name Shelley Brzak easy peasy!!! Beautiful Cover Cluster Community people.

[Juliet]

Hi group,
I've read British literature since early childhood,especially Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters.
Since I joined this group I've been introduced to many reading options.
Thank you all,
Juliet Aharoni, author Together They Overcame

[Shelley]

Hi I am Shelley thanks dating is just like reading anything of good quality right now Tommy Knockers by Stephen King a huge fan.

[Juliet]

Hi all,
I wrote the novel, TOGETHER THEY OVERAME. I'm a South African married to an Israeli. My novel, Together They Overcame weaves fictionalized versions of my own
experiences living in Israel into the romantic
tale of a newlywed couple striving against all
odds. Together They Overcame is an opposites-attract
romance set in Israel after the 1956 Sinai Campaign. The country is already struggling from the influx of immigrants who survived the World War II concentration
camps, and now also faces terrorist attacks
and food and water shortages.

I love the premise and setting of your book, Juliet. My mother is a refugee from 1940's Germany and lives in Israel. It has been a rough ride for her and my sister and I, especially when she married a non-Jewish Australian soldier and on arrival in Sydney, found out he was engaged to another woman!!! I have to write that novel but for right now, I am an Australian living in Florida and writing short stories and science fiction novels. Welcome. Kaye Linden www.kayelinden.com

[Dean]

Thanks for the invite, Rick.

Dean M. Cole here. I divide my time between my day job as a commercial helicopter pilot and my nightly endeavors as an author. Additionally, in my sparse free time, I build custom motorcycles and airplanes.

I recently returned to Goodreads after a two-year hiatus. As I mentioned to Rick in a recent message, I became disenchanted with the site and walked away from it for a while. After some serious soul searching and an honest appraisal of my previous novella, SECTOR 64: Coup de Main, I realized Goodreads wasn't the problem, I was.

That insight led to a new, professionally edited and vastly expanded version of Coup de Main entitled SECTOR64: Ambush.

Sometimes I think I could write a book about that growth process. As I worked on book two of this two-book series, I realized book one needed additional development. I drew my characters too shallowly; I needed to flesh-out both the protagonists and antagonists. Additionally, as I sharpened my trade, I realized my first effort didn’t deliver the polish and finish I desired.

With the help of a professional editor, I rewrote the entire story. We broadened the characters, cleaned up the writing, and added a parallel plot line to give the reader a clearer picture of the apocalyptic hell and human suffering the alien attack visited upon humanity. In the process, Coup de Main grew into SECTOR 64: Ambush. The new material, characters, and scenes more than doubled the size of the book.

I'd love your thoughts on it. If you are interested, please add it to your "Want to Read" shelf.



Sincerely,
Dean M. Cole

Hello everyone: I just joined this group, so thanks for letting me in. LOL I'm just getting back into reading again. I love reading books, and if you could see ALL the books I have, you would ask, "What's your problem?" LOL

I am not as advanced or even a writer as some of you are from what I've read. I have taken a "Writing for Children" course and have done some online writing courses. I just need that extra "kick" to start writing. What's your secret?

I look forward to chatting with you and sharing ideas along the way. Thanks again.
