[Marie]

Hi Everyone,

First off, I would like to thank Rick for the invitation.

My name is Mary Astor, and I am the author of a short story collection called A Chance Encounter and Other Stories – stop by my GR profile if you’d like to learn more.

My taste in fiction ranges from general fiction to romance to thriller, and I look forward to sharing my reviews the group.

Cheers,
Mary

Hi Rick, Carmel and everyone else, I hope you have enjoyed the [relative] peace over the last week, my humming box had a hissey fit last week end, but it seems to be alright now. I've no idea what was wrong, it wouldn't let me read emails for some reason, everything else fine, just my incoming emails, the wife's were fine, wretched contraption! Still at least I got a bit of work done on the follow up to 'The Day the Ravens Died'
All the best Paul Rix [oldgeezer]

[Timothy]

Hi Carmel,
The only thing it gave up on was the incoming emails, it would tell me how many I'd got coming in, just wouldn't let me open them!! grrr!
I've no more idea why it is now behaveing than why it had the hissy fit in the first place! and I've just noticed my spell check icon has gone awol!
All the best Paul Rix [oldgeezer]

Hello everyone. Thanks, Rick, for the invitation; I'll give it a go for a while. I have self-published one book, King by Right of Blood and Might. I'd post the link but Goodreads can't seem to find it today. I also have the first of a trilogy at the editors and hope to see in published some time this summer. I'm not sure about the schedule for the others but my publisher assures me he wants to publish all three. My website is http://AnnaLWalls.weebly.com

I blog about writing http://AnnaLWalls.blogspot.com
and I am posting a blog novel http://TheFortunesOfMagic.blogspot.com
and by popular demand, I now blog about my live in the wilderness of Alaska http://AnnaOfAlaska.blogspot.com

Stop in for a visit anywhere. Ask any questions. I love questions.

[Brian]

Hello all!

My name is Brian Rowe, and I just wanted to introduce to all of you my debut YA paranormal romance novel HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, which is now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!

It tells of a high school senior who starts aging a whole year of his life with each passing day! It has comedy, romance, magic, and betrayal... it's a super fun read!

It's the first chapter in a trilogy... I'd love to get some feedback and see what all you think! Check it out! :)

[Anna]

Hello Brian. Welcome to the group, and congratulations on your book. It sounds like fun.

MEMBER AUTHORS - PLEASE DO ADVISE A FELLOW MEMBER WITH ANSWER THE FOLLOWING E-BOOK QUESTION.


Hi Rick,
We haven't actually spoken before and I am new to the James Mason Community Book Club.I was wondering if you could help me with some information. I am not a Ereader person. But I have recently been formatting my titles for Ebooks. Most likely with Kindle.
To get to the point and question. If I send someone a PDF copy of my titles will they be able to open them on their Ereaders? Is there a different or better way for me to do this?

Thank you for time,

Dale Reierson

Hi, Martha. Thank you for the welcome. I've been through Leesville a few times, so I actually know where your hometown is. I lived up north for two years in London, Ontario. I could not wait to get back down South to thaw out. :-)

Cheers!

[Timothy]

Hi, everyone!

Not only is James Mason one of my fave actors of all time, this book club named in his honor looks awesome!

My name is Timothy and I am a Goodreads author. The Boy Who Howled is my first book. www.timothypower.me is my website.

The last book I read and LOVED was Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. I recommend it to readers of all ages.

Glad to be here!

[Kendall]

Hello everyone. I just saw my invite to this group. I don't know how I missed it but I am here now. I have a book blog, review for Suspense Magazine, Pump Up Your Book and just joined Blogcritics! Ummmm, yeah, I do like to read. LOL

Thanks for the invite!

[Christine]

Wow, what a huge group. It was the name James Mason that intrigued me---what a great old actor. I grew up on his movies, and that great nasal tone in his speech. I'm a writer, and my debut novel is ab out to be published.

[Nicholas]

Does anyone here have any luck with the goodreads self advertising? I have been up and running for about a week with little click through? Advice please!!

I have an ebook ready and available for download here exclusive until the distributor makes it available on all ereader formats and I was just testing my market a bit here on goodreads, but haven't had much luck.

[Timothy]

Thanks, Carmel! :)

[Amanda]

[Norm]

Hi, this is a vibrant group, isn't it? Glad to be a part.

I have five books, two humor urban/fantasy in The Adventures of Guy series (award winning!), two YA humor/vampire/werewolf books (Fang Face & WereWoof), plus a non-fiction humor book.

I've been exploring the ebook craze and as my rights to my earlier books revert back to me from my publisher I'm releasing them myself. So I have three books at 99 cents now on Kindle. As soon as I educate myself, I'll get them onto Nook.

[Charles]

Hello to all members. My name is Charles and I live in Westchester County, a suburb of New York. I have always been an avid reader and collector of books, primarily fiction. It seems that I spend most of my time either reading, writing or seeing films either in a theater or on TCM. It's always fun to take the train into the city, New York City and experience a film with a New York audience. I prefer the older films as they are the best. Although there are some really good independent films out now. 2010 marked a change in my life with the publication of my debut novel, Mourning Doves After The Fire. Feel free to check out the book page. I look forward to getting to know many of you. http://www.mourningdovesafterthefire.com

[Emily]

Thanks for the invitation to join. I love to read and it appears that everyone here loves reading too.

I read an eclectic range of books. I love mystery and suspense. I enjoy modern literature. I read Classics, especially British literature. Austen and Dickens are my favorites.

I recently re-read Jane Eyre and was pleasantly surprised. It truly is a great story.

I am here. Got an invite from Rick, thanks Rick. I tried telling him I haven't even found a good book to read to start the year off (and it's April...already!!!) sorry don't know James Mason but I do like Austen , Hardy and several other English classics and YA and mysteries and even Famous Five .

So, yay!

[Michael]

Hello everyone,

Thank you for the invitation to join this group. I'm Michael Karpovage, author of the mystery thriller Crown of Serpents. http://www.crownofserpents.com/

Chapters 1-3 FREE as a PDF!



One reviewer described this book the best: "Indiana Jones meets The Godfather." The Godfather series, incidentally, was one of my favorites - the movies too. Anyway, 5 free autographed copies of Crown of Serpents are now being given away - Click Here: http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

Looking forward to having lots of fun with this group and learning about new authors and different subjects.

[[deleted user]]

I had trouble learning to read but once I discovered the world of words I flew through books with a passion. My self help memoirs are based on my love of travel and learning.

I am a Canadian marriage and family therapist and find truth is often as interesting as fiction.

Get to know more about me by reading free chapters of my books at http://www.holygrail.ca I use the concept of the Holy Grail as the spiritual essence of the Self.

Hope to meet many of you as I love to talk, read and write about life.

Eileen from California, here. Glad to be here because...

"Well, I need a nook club now. Yeah, that's it. That-that-that-that's the speech. That's the - I need a book club. That's what I wanted to say. I - I need a book club. It's as simple as that. I - I need a book club, that's all." --Norman Maine

I love history, current events, and supernatural fiction. Look forward to spending some time here.

[Martha]

Welcome to all the new members!

Harry, I married a soldier & have lived in Germany, Colorado and settled in central Illinois when he retired from the Army. I hate the cold winters & the last few have just about done me in. I thought marrying a Yankee & moving north would mean no hot, humid summers. No such luck!! I get that (though not as bad as Louisiana) along with the snow, ice, freezing temps ... what fun!

Emily, I just reread Pride & Prejudice and Jane Eyre. Such great books!!

[Harry]

Martha, when I moved to London, Ontario back in 1973-75, I expected the frigid winters, but the summers surprised me. I expected temperatures to stay in the 70s to low 80s, but in July & August we had temperatures in the 90s. To make it worse, homes, including our townhouse apartment, lacked air conditioning. "Not worth paying for AC when we have only a few weeks of hot temperatures each summer." We had to sleep in the basement with fans blowing on us to try to sleep in the heat. At least everything in the South is air conditioned!

[Annie]

Thank you so much for the warm welcome. ^^

Martha, I'm curious. Where in Germany did you live?

[Martha]

Germany was that way. The stores were a smelly nightmare in summer. Whew! The summer of 76 was unusually hot ... It was late May (about 2 wks before my 2nd baby was born & I laid down to take a nap. Couldn't sleep b/c I was so hot, got up to check the temperature & it was 110 at 6pm. No AC, of course, but you don't need it there! HA

Annie, we were in Giessen from 74-77. My first 2 sons were born there ... well, in Frankfurt.

[Annie]

Oh yeah. I know Giessen. :) Did you like it? Apart from the heat of course. *laugh* We usually don't have AC in the houses and sometimes in summer I wish we had. But at least we have them in the shops now. ^^

[Martha]

I did like it. What I didn't like was life as an Army wife. The country is beautiful & that heat was really unusual that summer. I'm not familiar with your town.

[Annie]

Yeah I suppose that's not always fun. But the area around Frankfurt is really nice.
My town is not that big. Do you know Cologne? It's somewhere near there. ^^ We have a NATO Air Base near by. One wife told me a few weeks ago that everytime she learned the language they have to move. I suppose you had to move a lot as well.
