Invites not working? What are you gonna do, Rick? Never mind, this group is such a fun place to be, with such a variety of topics and people, that I'm sure it will continue to grow of its own accord. And that might be interesting to watch...

well- I receive many friend requests- and invite through replies-also word of mouth seems to be quite effective-(Yet with about 33,000 goodreads Groups- it's easy to get lost in the crowd- thats why word of mouth is so important) but love to have our fellow members feel that this is their Group (Community)as much as mine and understand that they are just as welcome to invite friends, ect as me!

[Arshad]

Thanks, Rick, for the invitation. I hope I will be able to make a meaningful contribution to your group.

Hello, all.

My name is Arshad Ahsanuddin, and I am a Goodreads Author of two self-published fantasy/science fiction novels called Sunset: Pact Arcanum: Book One and Sunrise: Pact Arcanum: Book Two. More information about myself and my work can be found on my Goodreads profile or at my website: http://pactarcanum.com

The plot of the first book is based on one simple question: If there were vampires and vampire slayers in the world, killing each other in the shadows without anyone being the wiser, what would happen if they were caught on camera during a nationwide TV broadcast? The major subplot of the book is the main character's thorny love life (The main character and many of the principal cast are gay men.) and resolves whom he finally ends up with. The romance level of the books would be considered "sweet," with no explicit sex scenes.

Any feedback is welcome, if it will help me become a better writer.

Respectfully,
Arshad Ahsanuddin

[jb]

Thanks for the invite. Name is jennbunny...I live in Florida....and currently I work full time and attend college (in hopes to become a marine biologist)....and help the environment. I LOVE sea turtles and hope to work with them some day.

I am addicted to books...I now own a nook as well (twice as many books). I read a lot of different kids of books....I love horror books and vampire books (NOT sparkly)....non fiction and fiction. Television is a bit of a bore to me....as a matter of fact until a month ago I did not even have cable. I watch netflix to get my fix (with NO commercials). Funnily enough documentaries are my favorite thing to watch along with weird medical/alien shows.

Chocolate is the main staple of my diet....I could not live without it along with tequila.

I am in the middle of books right now....trying to decide what to read next....such a decision. I think I will pick up one of my horror books today....

chocolate, jennbunny what kind, dark or milk?

[jb]

Well I love dark chocolate, but milk chocolate is good too. I love Reese's Cups Dark Chocolate.

[Bruce]

I'm the author of 47 books and chapbooks. My most popular book is the dystopian novel The Guardener's Tale, which was a Bram Stoker Award Finalist and a Prometheus Award Nominee. Until recently, the book has only been available used in the out-of-print signed, limited edition, at inflated prices. A regular trade paper edition finally appeared in February, priced at $15.95 online from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. However, you can order signed copies directly from me, by check or PayPal, for $12.95 and free shipping. Both relevant addresses below.

If you prefer an ebook, the novel is also available as a Nookbook at Barnes & Noble, and a Kindle and several other formats at Smashwords -- http://www.smashwords.com/ -- for $6.45.

If you do read the novel, comments are always welcome. For more info about me and my other books, check out my website, address also below. If you are ever inclined to buy any of my print books, contact me first. I can almost always provide a better price on new copies than anywhere online.

Thanks to Rick for asking me to join the group. I look forward to reading and participating in the discussions.

Best,

[Linda]

Hello everyone. My name is Linda Pohring and I am the author of Oddily, the first book of the Oddily Series. It's a Science fiction/Fantasy/Romance for young adults.

[Jeanine]

Hi, everyone! My name is Jeanine. I love to read (maybe a little too much). I am happy to be apart of this group. I am looking to expand my horizons, maybe read something that does not consist of vampires, faeries, angels, and the like :) Although, I have an extremely hard time losing myself in a novel that doesn't have fantasy, mystery, romance, and some horror.

Dear Rick, dear everybody else on this site.
Have been following this lively, wonderful site, but not enough time to participate. Marketing a novel unfortunately is a full time job.

2- Attempting to seduce readers into a world not their own, one of magic, surrealism, and adventure in places only nomads can penetrate. Check me and my baby out http://www.soniameyer.com/

Hi Jeanine,
No vampires (at least so far) in my books. But plenty of mystery, history and even a bit of romance.

Many thanks to Rick for the invitation.

My eight non-fiction book comes out this December. Seventh was just released in March with a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama (it's about China and the Tiananmen Square movement of 1989). I've also written plays, screenplays, and television pilots. The obligatory website disclosure: www.damondimarco.com.

Reading: I throw the net wide. Just finished an old American classic, Frank Norris' McTeague. Before that Larry McMurtry, Tom Robbins, Elmore Leonard, John Irving, Michael Chabon, Hemingway, Lawrence Block, Josh Bazell (he's new and I like him), a sci fi compilation, like I said, I throw the net wide.

It's nice to be part of a group of such avid readers. Thanks for that.

Best,
Damon

Synopsis: American covert agent. Adam Nowak, meets Polish resistance fighter, Natalia Kowalska, in the midst of the Warsaw Rising, and they are soon drawn in to a desperate hunt for the infamous Soviet order authorizing the murders of 20,000 Polish officers.

Publisher's Weekly said, "Jacobson follows his debut, Night of Flames, with another solid WW2 thriller."

The Library Journal said, "Compelling authenticity and evocatively rendered detail will captivate history buffs and thriller fans alike."

Hey, Douglas and Roger, Welcome to the James Mason Community.

[Scott]

Hiya Rick

Thanx for the Welcome.
Mischa Auer? Surely u jest! No? OMG, all I can remember seeing him in was "U Can't Take With U", as Ann Millers 'artistic' ballet teacher.
I do know that he was very active in movies through the 30s and 40s, but no specifics come to mind. I also recall from my yute, his appearing on TV dramtaic shows such as Playhouse 90.

And....... I did neglect yesterday, to mention James Mason; as fine as they ever came, none greater! [OK, maybe Olivier]
What're your fave Mason Roles?

[[deleted user]]

Hello everyone!

My name is Elizabeth. I am an avid reader although I don't have to time to read as much as I'd like to. My toddler takes up a great deal of my time, as does studying for and preparing to take the PTCB (Pharmacy Technician Certification Board) exam.

I don't have a favorite genre. I'll read just about anything to catches my eye. My TBR list is staggering and I seem to acquire more books everyday. Along with reading I also enjoy writing. I have one poem published, as well as a number of short stories that I've written that have not been published. My dream is to one day publish a novel.

I look forward to investigating and getting involved with this group. Not to mention getting to know some of the people.

Happy Reading to you all!

[Richard]

Hi Rick and fellow members first of all thank you for the invitation to join Rick. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am a crime and horror author and I divide my time between London and the Unites States. My first crime novel 'Apostle Rising' was released on March 10th 2011. It has been getting some excellent reviews from the media, which can be found on the Media Page on my website. My author page is here on Good Reads and my website here
http://richardgodwin.net where you can read more about me. I do great interviews with authors on my blog, my Chin Wags At The Slaughterhouse are really popular.
You can follow me here on Twitter
http://twitter.com/#!/stanzazone
and I'll follow you straight back.
If you have a minute please check out the trailer ad for 'Apostle Rising' on my page here and if you do, like it.
I look forward to contributing to this group and what a great idea.
James Mason was a great actor.
I look forward to meeting you all.
