Thanks to Rick for inviting me to join the group. I write the Ryan Lock series of thrillers which are published in the UK by Bantam/Transworld (who also publish Dan Brown, Lee Child and Tess Gerritsen). If you're in the US, the books are now available in e-book format via the usual channels (http://www.amazon.com/Lockdown-Ryan-L...) They have also been translated into Dutch, German and Russian.

They are very fast-paced action thrillers set in the US, and I guess what singles them out from the pack would be the hands-on nature of my research. For instance, for the second book, Deadlock, I spent time inside Pelican Bay Supermax in California, where the first half of the book takes place.

There's a lot more info on my website: www.seanblackbooks.com

Hi Folks, I'm a 41 year old crime writer and avid reader who lives in Hull in the UK.

I'll not prattle on about my books you find them on here if you have an interest in the genre. Always happy to pick up reviews and network on people's blogs. I'm a friendly chappy :)

[Erik]

Thanks for the invite! Glad to join the community. I am an author and filmmaker based in Los Angeles. I've just launched my sci-fi/speculative fiction series Wetwire! Looking forward to sharing with everyone.

TERRIFIC TO HAVE ALL OF OUR NEW MEMBERS!!
much happy welcomes to you all!

[Suzanne]

Thank you for the invite! I'm an avid reader who enjoys mysteries and fiction. I'm not really into the paranormal or psychic dramas, but I do love crime and spy stories! I'm excited to be included in this group and learn more about what others are reading!

[Bridget]

Welcome fellow readers and writers! So good to see so many new faces.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Hi, I should have joined this group months ago but I seem to always be in the middle of something. I look forward to rummaging around your group and getting (stealing) some ideas.

I am one of the moderators for the UK Kindle group here on Goodreads so I have a strong interest in ebooks and the Kindle.

I am a bit of a geeky gadget man but to try to make out I am just like a normal human being I share my personal space with an earless blind cat (hmmm).

Greetings all!

I learned of this group from Susie Sharp. Her enthusiasm for the community appears to be well-founded.

My name is Dave Blankinship and I am always happy to be called “Dave.”

My education and training is in psychology, counseling, and behavioral research. I often describe myself as a recovering behavioral scientist. Most of my “working life” has been in government research and higher education and I enjoy discussions about teaching and the characteristics of academic excellence.

Most of my published works are “scholarly” in the sense that normal people really would not care to wade through the obsessive detailing of rationales, reviews of literature, and methodology. To be honest, I can’t remember re-reading a single article after it appeared in a national journal. A few years back, I began writing fiction as my own form of escapism. I have three books published that allow me to explore topics that are important to me and keep the issues sufficiently abstract by calling them fiction. “Phontaine’s Gifts” is my most recent work and it is a post-apocalyptic tale that avoids zombies, marauding cannibals, and all the other extremes in human failure to cope with the unthinkable. “Phontaine’s Gifts” reflects my personal experiences with the apocalyptic situation in Ethiopia and eastern Africa right now. People living in devastating circumstances just do not live up to the Hollywood hype of Mad Maxx.

My website is www.tenparinc.com and you will find lots of free reading material there. In honor of the season, I am giving away free copies of “Jewel’s Unexpected Friends.” It is a short story about protecting innocence and the stunning power of compassion. The website has a link on the first page, called “Free is Fun.”

[Murdo]

My thanks to Rick for the invitation to join the group. My name is Murdo Morrison. I have two books listed on the site. The first is Roses of Winter, a novel set in World War 2 Scotland. The second, A Hole Without Sides, is an account of my time as a volunteer for the British organization Community Service Volunteers and subsequent time working in mental health in the early 1970s.

Thank you for the invite, Rick. I think I will like this group!

[Angelos]

Hello there to you all! I'm Angelos from Greece and I really want to thank Rick for his amazing book club. Indeed there should be a club as such for us, the readers who love not only one specific genre. I don't read a lot anymore, about 10-15 books a year, but I want to do better! I joined the club to share my reading experience and other members' as well!
Thanks again!

[Sophia]

Hello!

I am a prolific reader and a person who writes for my own pleasure- at the moment.

I do not have a favorite genre, but my all time favorite author is Jane Austen.

I love forward to the time I spend with this group of fellow book lovers.

[Biola]

The house has grown! welcome everyone.

[Kimberly]

Thank you so much for the invite! It's great to be a part of this group. I am a YA paranormal/fantasy author (I also have a series of children's chapter books coming out this winter!)

Forbidden Mind, the first of the Forbidden series, is now available. It's a series about teens with paranormal powers who are raised in a secret school and rented out to the rich and powerful as spies. Sam, a girl who reads minds, is about to turn 18 and thinks she's going to be free to live her life, until she connects with a boy who controls minds and finds out that her dream is about to turn into a terrible nightmare!



I look forward to the discussions on this group :)

[Biola]

Greetings to our new James Mason members. Biola, I will be glad to fog your blog and will send Marsha and Danny Jones to answer any questions your readers may have about their efforts to kill terrorists on the high seas. Right now, they are going back through their daily journals to track exactly how many killers they have eliminated as the Sea Empress has come under attack.

[Rohan]

Hi all,

I'm a lecturer in English at a polytechnic college in the Zachodnie-Pomorskie area of Poland. Originally from Scotland I've a wide number of reading interests, but particularly enjoy good genre fiction (crime, horror, sci-fi, fantasy), as well as American poetry, Scottish literature and the usual 'classic' suspects, such as Jack London, Herman Melville, Frank Norris, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson and Mark Twain. I'm also a big fan of graphic novels and have a particular passion for the works of Joe Sacco, Daniel Clowes and Charles Burns, as well as the comicbook genius of Grant Morrison. The last 'material' book I finished reading was Jonathan Safran Foer's 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close', which I thought a delightful and moving rumination on loss and meaning. Presently I'm reading lots of coursebooks for my classes on writing, as well as trying to put together bits of my own work.

I'm also a big fan of both film and television, as I generally love good story in whatever medium it may be served, so you'll probably find quite a few of my posts also talk about film. You can catch up with some of my article and review writing on my blogsite:- berryapercu@wordpress.com

I've got articles on Peter Carey, Lewis Grassic Gibbon, Wim Wenders and The Coen Brothers on here, as well as a review of Belinda Bauer's excellent crime novel 'Blacklands' and countless movie reviews.

Thank you to the hosts of this group for allowing me to join the discussion.

[David]

One of our (Oceanview Publishing) titles, The Perfect Assassin by Ward Larsen has been optioned for a major motion picture to be produced over the next few years. In the meantime, I am looking for readers who are willing to post reviews on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com to increase awareness of the book.

I am offering either an ePub file or Universal PDF of The Perfect Assassin in exchange for reviews on the two sites. Please let me know if you are interested via email at davidi@oceanviewpub.com. I'll need your preference and email address.

Thanks!
David

[Gwenn]

Hello all! I am a mother of three, wife of one, keeper of ducks and chickens, wannabe crocheter, and voracious reader (whenever there's time). I read just about everything as long as it's well-written. There isn't time in this world to waste on poorly written novels. I'm also an indie author of the YA Crossover series The von Strassenberg Saga. Book 2 will hopefully be out soon!
I love classics and Dean Koontz and Tess Gerritsen and so many others!
