Hi everyone! I'm new to the group, but I've been on Goodreads for several years.

I'm a writer, and my debut novel just came out this July from Hydra, a digital imprint of Random House.



I love connecting with readers and other writers and discussing the craft of writing, my favorite books, etc. so I hope to get to know a lot of you.

Thanks, and I look forward to our conversations.

[Doreen]

Hello to all in the writing and readership world! I do a bit of both...write (self-published a biography) but mostly read. Seems to be many of you out there of like minds and I look forward to connecting with you!

[Dominic]

Hello. My name is Dominic Carrillo-- not Frank Diego. But many people who've read my novel say it reads like a memoir; like all the events really happened. I usually take this as a good sign. I like novels that sound like the truth. So if you have the time, please check it out and let me know what you think. To Be Frank Diego

I am author and aviatrix Syd Blue. I wrote FlyGirl to encourage more girls to take on the challenge of flying because it is so empowering! It's an incredible journey that changes your life.

FlyGirl is on sale right now for the holidays. Here's the description:

What does it take to fly a plane?
Guts.
FlyGirl Jill has plenty of courage but she forgets about one thing.
And when she finds herself in absolute terror at ten thousand feet, she knows there's only one way out...

As soon as sophomore Jill Townsend hears the hottest senior in school, Robbie Magnor, say he thinks a woman who can fly is sexy, she knows what she must do to catch his eye. As she sets out to become a pilot, she unearths a love for flying and finds she belongs up in the breath-taking sky. She wants to fly more than anything. Up there, she not only has an amazing view of the world and its endless possibilities, but there’s nothing holding her back.

But with her mom forbidding anything more dangerous than homework, Jill fights to free herself. In a clever scheme, she drums up the money for lessons and forges a permission slip. She’s off soaring into the wild blue — until a surprise in the sky foils her plans and threatens her life. Shock and panic pales in comparison to the horror waiting on the ground. Now what will Robbie think?

Thanks for the forum! Cheers, Syd

[Sylvia]

Hi Everyone. Glad to be here! I'm Sylvia Sarno. My debut novel, Sufficient Ransom, will be available on Amazon next month. I love fiction - mysteries, thrillers, dystopian. And classic literature, think - A. Rand, V Woolf, C Dickens, S. Maugham.

[Barbara]

Hi Everyone! I'm a voracious reader who took the plunge two years ago and wrote my first novel. I published Coming to Rosemont in December of 2012 and have been marketing it like crazy ever since. I'm pleased with my sales and reviews to date. I enjoy TV series over movies -- I love a longer story line, with characters I can form a continuing involvement with -- so I'm writing a Rosemont series. I've got at least 5 books outlined. The first one is out and I'm editing the second one. I've been described as the love child between John Grisham and Jan Karon. I so hope that is true!! My Rosemont series would make a first-rate Hallmark Channel series (like Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove). By day I am an attorney. I'm married and have 2 grown children. A devoted dog lover, we currently have 2 furry friends in our home.

Hello, Vincent. I am a reader and an author. My novel. Honor's Veil, is posted on Goodreads and I am finishing up my next novel, Masquerade, about the priest sex abuse scandal and the discovery of Aids in Africa.

Honor's Veil is a murder mystery that takes place in Washington, DC, where I live. A powerful senator is murdered by a blackmailer who calls him or herself 'Black' and Harlan Adams, chief of staff to the president and the senator's best friend gets too involved in trying to solve the crime and is nearly double crossed by the people investigating the crime.

I am looking forward to this group and meeting others.

That's the way you should introduce yourself! Awesome! If you need reviews and/or other marketing, please let me know. I'm a writer, reader and therefore and understanding marketing professional.

Here's my site, if I can be of help. http://www.virtualtourvoila.com My site is currently being updated, but it does show much of what I have to offer.

I send that out for everyone here.

Also, I am amazed at the variety in talent represented here! I've been truly a student here with what free chapters and bios I have read. I have a book I have been slowly...very slowly...working on and you all have been quite motivating for me on that project. Thank you for that!

Hope you all have a fabulous week!

This is certainly the correct spot. You are giving an introduction to yourself, which means your works as well. When you write, your works are a piece of you, often heart and soul:)

Hi people of Goodreads! I'm new to this group and Goodreads so thought this would be a good place to start. I'm an avid reader and wannabe writer. I'm excited to chat and interact with other like minded people and have heard nothing but great things about this place. Hope everyone is well and I look forward to exploring Goodreads with you all.

[Allen]

Hi. My name is Allen Smith. I am a Christian author. I have 4 Kindle Ebooks on Amazon. My pen name is Rev. Allen Smith. Thank you for allowing me to be a member of this group.

[J.M.]

My name is JM Guillen. I spend most of my time trying to enslave western civilization and experimenting with armies of drones and cloned dinosaurs. My super-villain name is "The Pen-Dragon".

I also tend to write a bit.

My work is published through Irrational Worlds, an evil publishing conglomerate based on the Daedalus space station. Currently it consists of four novellas. These range from:

A fantasy romance, about a priestess of passion and desire...
to
A steampunk detective story, with more than a dash of suspense...
to
A science fiction/spy romp battling against cthulian horror...
to
A modern faerie tale about the embodiment of Autumn, hunting the shadows of our world...


My work is all interconnected, and the stories contain strands of each other. I'll admit that it's more than a little bit of a game for me, and I try and make it fun WHILE enslaving the masses. I am currently working on the steampunk/detective story, and expanding it into a series.

An evil series. With a dark and terrible purpose.

Just so everyone knows, I am on the hunt for books to review. I am specifically requesting .Mobis from goodreads authors for this nefarious task. You should be aware, however, that as a super-villain, my reviews have a bit of a slant.

If you'd like a review, message me up. I'll happily give you one.*

[Michele]

Hi everyone. I'm Rachel and I write under the pen name Michele Theron. My first book, Suburban Underbelly, is now available on Amazon. It's a funny, sexy, snarky read and I have been gratified by the positive response so far.

What happens when three stay-at-home moms in suburbia decide they need a regular "play date" as much as their kids do?

Jill, Lucy and Quinn decide to give themselves a break from the suburban ritual of motherhood as a competitive sport with three hours a week of freedom without kids. Can the play dates save their true identities from shriveling up? The women push boundaries, satisfy curiosities, and liberate the parts of themselves lost somewhere between diapers and runny noses.

Suburban Underbelly is Michele Theron's tale of what really happens in suburbia during the day. It's more real than Real Housewives, as hot as Sex in the City, and just as snarky as Desperate Housewives.

Looking forward to being a part of this group!

[Stephen]

My name is Stephen Logsdon, and as of August 5th, I'm a new eBook author. My Sci Fi book "Odysseus: Bound" is currently being sold through all eBook sellers, and I'm working on the second book in this series, titled "The Collector". As George R R Martin put it, writers can be loosely classified into one of two groups: architects or gardeners. The experience of writing my first novel, proved I was the gardener with very little architect, where every chapter was and is an adventure for me. While it's taken me over two decades to finally find a subject that could last through one book, yet alone a series, I find myself in the interesting situation where now that I have found it, I am having the time of my life doing it. Now ... if I can only learn to do it full time.

[Barb]

Hi, my name is Barb. Reading is my favorite thing to do in my spare time. I like variety, so I tend to read a lot of different genre's. Reading other people's views and comments are entertaining and it also turns me on to new author's I've never heard of before.

[Martyn]

Hello,

I'm Martyn, author of 'The Deathsworn Arc' and several more actually. I write almost constantly, but 'The Deathsworn Arc' is my passion. I started writing it as a common or garden fantasy adventure, but as it's progressed, I've found myself writing a deeper meaning with elements of science and moral philosophy as well as atheism and an examination of belief systems. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I've never enjoyed writing as much as writing this! I'm currently working on book 3 of the series and have book 4 already planned out.

[Gary]

My first work as the editor of a novella was successfully completed. This work inspired me to birth my own pent-up novels at the rate of 5-10,000 words per day. I am currently working on four wildly different works simultaneously. I enjoy the way each story and character takes on a life of its own, taking me to surprising places, letting me listen in on unexpected dialogue, and unlocking a store of memories.
I would love to hear everyone's best advice for a new author.

[Jesse]

Hello,

I am Jesse Duckworth and we (Chris Powell and I) started creating a world in 2008. Since then, I have been working on a novel, three novellas, and some short stories all from this world. I just published a novella through Harren Press (our own small publishing house) that is currently on amazon, A Song of Betrayal. I am focused on getting better as I finish up the follow up novella to A Song of Betrayal and work on our novel, The Keepers of the Seal.

I would certainly like to get more connected on here. Heres my page:

[Ryan]

Hi all!

My name is Ryan, and I am both a reader and a writer. I am a huge fan of overwhelming action and captivating fantasy, which was the inspiration for my first novel, Imminent Danger. I really enjoy young adult novels, and I hope the number of young adult novels continues to increase. If any of you are fans of action, adventure, fantasy or young adult novels, check out The Bloodline Revelations series.

What's up, people! My name is Kristie (a.k.a. K. S. Haigwood. I'm from the southern US, and live in a nothing little state called Arkansas, I published my first novel March 2012. I will publish my 6th novel next month and my 7th in the spring of 2014. It's been wild. It's been crazy. And I am extremely tired of the characters from my books keeping me up all hours of the day and night, demanding that their story be told NOW. If you're a writer I'm sure you know what I mean. Cheeky little gits, aren't they? Oh, and I write paranormal suspense romance, have 2 kids, 2 dogs and an immature husband that thinks reading is a waste of time. Happy to be here and a part of your world. Hope you will be part of mine. www.facebook.com/kshaigwood

I was laughing out loud. When your characters wake you up in the middle of the night and start shouting at you, you know you're onto something good.

Best of luck to you baby!

Hi everyone!
My name is Styna Lane, 23, from Mansfield, OH.
I'm very nearly the epitome of "nerd". I'm more obsessed with Harry Potter than what is probably healthy for an adult (or anyone). I'm a recovered World of Warcraft addict, but am currently dealing with a pretty bad Doctor Who relapse. I enjoy everything Fantasy and Scifi.
I recently released my first novel, The Energy Room, and currently spend nearly all of my time promoting it, as well as working on the sequel.

[Crissy]

Hi, I'm new-ish to goodreads. I've been using it for years to track my favorite books, and get recommendations, but only just recently dove into forums and friends.

I'm a reader, and an author. In both I like sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal, and really anything that isn't our normal world.

Most of the books I have up at the moment are short stories, or anthologies. I'm working on an urban fantasy at the moment about the goddesses of Fate, and their struggle against an awakening god bent on twisting the world into his own bloody vision.

Favorite authors... Kim Harrison, Jim Butcher, McCaffery, Anthony, Weis and Hickmen... Rothfuss.. oh just too many to count. I love books.
