R.d. Pittman | 1 comments My name is Rickard Pittman, and yes that is a k not an h. I write under the pen name R.D. Pittman. The first book in the New Earth trilogy is in ebook format and now has been released in print. It is available on Amazon.com in both ebook and print.If you are into thrillers,government cover-ups, with a hint of sci-fi, you might like this series. I would like to send out three print copies to anyone interested in reading the book and providing feedback.The book is New Earth:Project O.N.E.

mountainmama (jcallenbooks) | 27 comments I feel your pain, Jason - never enough hours anymore, and my poor Kindle is stuffed with wondrous reads!

And hello Rickard! Your books sound like the one I've got out now, M.O.D. by my son, J. C. Allen. Maybe we can trade reviews?????

Katie_la_geek Hey all. Thank you so much for the invite!! My name is Kate and I am from England. I am a massive book fiend, I always have a book on my person. I like all kind of books. If someone has wrote it I will happily read it. I have always been a writer, it was a great way to improve my spelling after being diagnosed with dyslexia. It has kinda stuck with me and I have just started writing my first novel. I am really looking forward to getting to know you all : )

Hi Kate,

Did you know that Henry Winkler (AKA 'The Fonz') is dyslexic...along with a few other well known celebrities, so you are in good company. I'm a little numbers dyslexic and on occasion I will get my letters turned around.

Hey, I did not know the fonz was dyslexic! I know a lot of people in a creative vocation are. People like Tom Cruise, Whoopi Goldberg, Alexander Graham Bell, Da vinci, John Lennon, Muhammad Ali and Agatha Christie to name a few. I was so surprised to find that so many people had it as well.

Thanks for the invitation! I'm so glad to be here. I'm a voracious reader, never without either my Kindle or a book in hand. My favored genres trend toward romance and science fiction/fantasy, but I'm also a huge suspense/thriller fan.

I'm looking forward to participating!

If you want to see what I read, stop by my blog One Good Book Deserves Another for a peek.

mountainmama (jcallenbooks) | 27 comments I'm fairly new here myself, Tracy, so I don't know many people or what they write yet. Romance is probably my least favorite genre, so I can't recommend much there. My son has written a political intrigue technothriller you might want to check out. It's M.O.D. by J. C. Allen. You can get a little taste from the video book trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It9YGW...

Varian Rose Thanks for the invite. I'm Rose, and I hope to be a writer one day. I write...I don't really know what the genre is! I write what I write. I don't want to put a label on it.

I haven't published anything yet, because I want to be sure I've gotten my best stuff possible out there.

Howard (hkbeale) | 44 comments Emery wrote: "Hi all!...My current project is a deeply researched multi book series called Georgians and Jacobites."
If you are looking into Jacobites and have not yet seen it, you could do worse than spend some time with Macaulay's "History of England". Despite the name, it covers the period from the accession of James II to the death of William III. Macaulay is a brilliant and entertaining writer and this is one of the first serious works of English history to survive to the present (leaving out Gibbon, but he wrote about Rome). Unlike many historians, Macaulay does not pretend to objectivity. He has heroes (Cromwell and William III) and villains (William Penn, the Duke of Marlborough, and anyone named Stuart). Winston Churchill wrote his "Life of Marlborough" as a thundering rebuttal to what he felt were Macaulay's biased views on his ancestor, John Churchill. Macaulay is open, and almost proud of, his prejudices. If he tries really, really hard, he can find an occasional good thing to say about the Scots, but there is nothing, absolutely nothing, good that can be said about the Irish. Reading him is informative and sheer delight. (He was, by the way, the first Englishman to be elevated to the peerage for his contributions to literature.) He will tell you all you will want to know about the Jacobites, including a lot of the juicy scandalous bits. Enjoy.
