Hi, I just discovered this discussion forum today. Yes, I joined the group a little while ago, but I didn't really understand how things worked on here. Anyway, my name is Marita and I'm a new author. I've just published BEHIND THE HOOD this month. Here's the Amazon connection: http://www.amazon.com/Behind-Hood-ebo... It's also on Smashwords and you can see it in my profile on Goodreads. It's gritty realism, a full-on, very fast-paced read about the rough side of life in New Zealand. Here's my blogsite: http://maritaahansen.blogspot.com/
I hope to chat more with you. Cheers.

Maybe, I need to just concentrate on the book but then I feel like I miss out on so much. (smile)

Hi everyone, my name's Emma, I'm from the UK and I'm preparing to self-publish my debut novel this Autumn.
I joined the group a little while ago but, as I'm still getting the hang of forums, I'm only just feeling like I can manage contributing regularly - slowly but surely I'm getting the participation thing under control! :)
I love all sorts of books but tend to go through phases - at the moment I'm soaking up loads of dystopia.

Hello! Thank you for the invite to the group. I'm a reader of many different genres, though lately I've been a little heavy on the biographies and history. I'm also a writer just finishing up two books. One is a character driven, man-vs-his-inner-demon action/adventure in a light/realistic fantasy setting. The other is non-fiction, based on a murder trial with some odd details. Guess that's enough for now. Thanks again! - Jason

Hi, my name is Christine E. Schulze, author and lover of fantasy and Christian fantasy, particularly for middle grade and YA. Excited to have been invited here and to meet you all! I currently have several books published, some by independent presses, others self-published, though I am currently seeking an editor for some of my self-published works to give them a more polished feel.
Please feel free to check out my books and their reviews on my Goodreads page, and keep on the look-out for give-aways!
God bless, happy reading, and may you be inspired!

Hi Everyone! My name is Rob and I got my invite last night. I used to be an avid reader growing up and it went away when I went to college and textbooks were basically most of what I was reading. I have just gotten back into my reading and have a goal of 20 books (no re-reads if possible) by the end of this year. I am confident I can do this!

Hello all, I also want to thank Rick for the generous invitation. I am a new author of women's fiction. I published my first collections,Encounters in Paris: A Collection of Short Stories last year. My new book,5 Reasons to Leave a Lover - A Novella and Other Short Stories, debuts in September. I am originally from Chicago and currently living in Switzerland. I am an avid reader. I will read almost any genre (both fiction and nonfiction) except erotica and most sci-fi. My favorite authors are constantly changing but right now the list would include James Baldwin, F.Scott Fitzgerald, Flannery O'Connor, Zadie Smith, Philipp Roth and James Updike.I am constantly seeking out new books and authors and I welcome suggestions from the group!

Hello,I want to thank Rick for inviting me to your group. I'm the author of Shadow's Son and Shadow's Lure from Pyr Books. I live in Pennsylvania with my family. Anything else you want to know about me, just ask.
Thanks for the invite, sorry it has taken me a while to introduce myself. My name is Lisa. I love to read, it's a great escape. I WISH I could write but I'm not all that creative. Words don't flow all that well for me... I do envy/admire those who do. I read various genres of literature, I like to dabble in the classics and I am loyal to some authors, reading everything they write because... well, I've read all the rest of their books! I've found myself purchasing more historical fiction and non-fiction lately. I also like to read books on topics that might be controversial or I don't know enough about so that I can see another perspective.
Thank you Rick for inviting me to join the group....like Lisa, I have tried many times to write a novel but it just doesn't seem to go over very well....I have wrote a couple of Childrens books that are not published, but my kids love them....

Hi Everyone,My name's Ant Barclay and I've just joined Goodreads. Thanks to Rick for the invite. My first novel, Verity, went live on Kindle about three weeks ago, and is also available here. If anybody here is into writing reviews, I'd be quite happy to make some free copies available.
Thanks again for the invite and I'm looking forward to (hopefully) making a meaningful contribution to this group.
Thanks,
Ant
Hi everyone, My name is Athena and I'm from NH. Although I am addicted to reading and have the ability to read quickly I am becoming bored with the authors I typically choose. They're disappointing me lately. I need something new but good. I look forward to chatting with you all.

Thanks for the invite Rick. I love reading. I am getting back into novels as I've been focussing on more personal growth and development reading over the past few years. Reading for pleasure will be a great comfort to me over the coming months as I prepare for surgery. I am a very active person so I will be entertaining myself with lots of good books and Internet time. Looking forward to your discussions.
