Hi Jerri, it sound good, but can we hear a little about you? It seems like you just posted an ad.

[Mathias]

Hello all

First of all, apologies for my English, I know the words are English, but...

My name is Mathias, I'm the Swiss author of the German-language political thriller EXCESS which is now avalable in English under the title "EXCESS - The Art of Treason". Mind you, the translation is by the professional British translator Rachel Ward, not by myself :-).

Inspired by sinister political plans and events of the past decades (conspiracy facts, not conspiracy theories …), such as the hollywoodesque Pentagon script to stage terrorist acts on US soil to justify an US invasion of Cuba (google “Operation Northwoods”), I started to learn the craft of writing when I was working on the book between 2004 and 2008, long before the Kindle age.

On to the bragging section:

The book’s original German version, launched on Amazon Germany in February 2012, did fairly well. It reached the #1 spot of the paid ebook-charts in May 2012, and was, according to Amazon, among the top ten best-selling ebooks in the first half of that year. Mind you, the German-language market on Amazon is much smaller than the English-language market, so I haven’t sold millions but I’m quite happy so far. Readers gave it a 4.2 star average rating.

After sales numbers passed the five digits threshold, I took the plunge and started looking for a professional translator in the spring of 2012. Rachel Ward, who translates from German and French to English for a living, was daring enough to get into a business relationship with an indie-author - a decision which I hope she’s never regretted.

Why would I bother to have the book translated at all? Because most of the story is set in the US. To quote “Deutschlandfunk”, one of the largest radio stations in Germany:

“There's treasure to be found in the Kindle Shop, although it can be hard to find in a hurry if you don't know you're looking for it. The easiest way is to head for Mathias Frey's political thriller ‘Excess’, which has spent six months in the limelight of the Top 100 [on Amazon Germany] where it stood out for its quality. The story of a media experiment in America, unleashed by sinister political conspirators aiming to seize power in the United States, reads like the work of a seasoned pro in the genre, but was in fact self-published.“

See http://www.amazon.com/EXCESS-Art-Trea...

and https://www.facebook.com/pages/Excess...

I totally would love to get in touch with US-based readers to learn how they think about the story I wrote ....

Thank you very much!

I am reeba. I am absolutely in love with books.My most of spare time is spent infront of lappy reading ebooks. Infact i digest books. My interest are fantasy,thriller, not too romantic, adventure, mysteries and crimes.

My name is Tarek Cherif and I recently discovered that I love reading and writing. I have written three fantasy novels and am currently working on another fantasy novel along with an autobiography. However, I only decided to publish one of the three books I wrote so far. I consider myself an aspiring author because I believe that there are lots of things that need learning before one can truly consider him/herself to be an author.

[Bo]

Hi there, I'm Bo a writer from Ireland.

I read and write Crime Thrillers.

Many times over the years I've made attempts to expand my reading habits, but old habits die hard - I've got a bookshelf dedicated to unfinished reads outside the crime thriller genre!

I write what I love to read - intense psychological crime thrillers - and published my first novel, STEALING POWER, last month.

I am currently working on my second novel - BABY SNATCHERS and hope to publish in August.

[Jodi]

Hello, my name is Safia 'Jodi' McClure, author of Swing Zone, a 'paranormalish' fantasy romance set in a (200 years post apocalypse) dystopian city. (I like blazing my own trails, so I can't categorize it any better than that.) Swing Zone originally ran as a serial, so having it out in novel form is very exciting to me. I'm a huge fan of the spec fic genre. My novel is perma-free to members of this forum. Honest reviews (even short ones) are always appreciated.

Looking forward to getting to know you all better. :)

[Karynne]

Hi,
I am Karynne Summars. I just recently joined the GR Author Program. I have listed an international giveaway for 10 autographed copies of "Desperate Pursuit in Venice", my upcoming romance/suspense/family drama novel. It should be out on all eBook readers around mid July.
Description:
When New York Private Equity partner Kataryna Taylor pursues the acquisition of a successful Italian biomedical company, she meets and falls in love with Luca Romano, a member of the existing shareholders. Kataryna and Luca engage in a sensual love affair, which includes erotic encounters neither one of them has experienced before with such intensity. But danger and a family drama wait around the corner for Kataryna and Luca when the CEO of the company to be acquired by Kataryna’s firm pursues her romantically and becomes infatuated with her.

While working on the important international acquisition transaction and deepening her relationship with Luca, Kataryna encounters love, obsession, danger and a stunning family secret, which she is determined to resolve.

An exciting, sophisticated erotic romance novel with a suspense plot and a family drama playing against the backdrop of beautiful international locales such as Milan, Lake Como, and Venice, Italy, New York, Berlin and other locations.

While the novel contains sensual scenes there is no profanity or vulgar language and the scenes are tastefully presented. It is a beautiful love story, which may tempt readers to live vicariously through the captivating main characters. There is even some humor in the book. So, there is something for everyone and I am currently preparing the sequel.

[Mora]

Hey everyone! I'm a romance/erotica author. My first novella was just published in ebook a few weeks ago. It's the first in a 3 part series. The second one is coming out soon.

I live in gorgeous Savannah, GA and spend most of my nights writing. I have a cat named Cat and a dog named Willie (as in Shakespeare.) And I'm attempting to grow a garden.

I read a lot. Mostly in the romance/erotica genre, although I love horror, mysteries, and some YA too. I love talking books and look forward to getting to know everyone!

[Anthony]

I'm Anthony Land. My first novel, the thriller IDIOT'S TALE, was published this year on Kindle KDP. I have a second novel in progress--a progress slowed somewhat by the time and energy I'm pouring into the massive black hole that is self-promotion/marketing. And this, mind you, is coming from someone who spent many years in advertising and PR. My wife and I are New Orleanians propelled by Hurricane Katrina to the middle of Alabama. I want to go on record formally declaring that it is a vicious canard that I'm old enough to have known at least some of the later writers of Gilgamesh. Beowulf, maybe, but NOT Gilgamesh.
