LuAnn (luannbraley) | 1 comments Hi y'all. I found this group from a link on Christina George's author page. My writing is mostly on my blog at the moment, but I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo this month as well, turning my AtoZ Blogging posts into an e-book.

I became addicted to reading challenges towards the end of last year, and a love of reviewing books sprung up shortly after.

Rusty Nugent (RustyNugent) | 4 comments Moonwarriors
Guardians of the Night

My dark, horror, action, adventure, erotica, romance, fantasy Moonwarriors Saga is only for 18+. The youngest person that read the book that I know of was 15 years old but I warned her father and he said "I am sure she has seen worse on TV." Now, I am her favorite author, isn't that sweet. My first published book is not on the market anymore. I am working with a different publisher trying to get it reissued. Please visit my new website my agent and I are still working on it. Let me know what are your thoughts and ideas.

Thirteen sixty-three. The werewolf warrior Stytentos is jaded and disillusioned, living in a monastery in Nepal. His outlook on life has changed since the humans turned on his people and began hunting them to the point of extinction. As mass hysteria took over Dacia, lycanthropes and humans alike were burned at the stake, accused of being werewolves “in league with the Devil” by the self-righteous and power-hungry Catholic Church. Stytentos is attempting to rebuild his life in the aftermath of the darkest chapter of his people’s existence: The Burnings.

So when an old friend long dead appears to him in a dream, asking for him to fight the vampire threat and save the world, he wants no part of it. Eventually, he gives in and his quest leads him on an adventure that will take him around the globe, throughout the centuries until present day. Modern America and the rest of the world have forgotten the old ways, as vampires and werewolves live, fight and die in secret. Nestafil, the vampire leader, plots to unleash his nosferatean army on the human populace and enslave the werewolves. Stytentos must once again learn how to let people get close to him. And the clock is ticking.

Will he learn the true identity of who murdered the Volknor family? Can the werewolves destroy the vampires once and for all? It’s a showdown to the finish as the fate of humankind hangs in the balance.

What do you think about how my second book sounds? Good, interesting, boring, bad, awful. Or make up your our word to describe it.


May the power of the wolf protect you,
Rusty

Beau Johnston (beau_johnston) I'm doing well. I'm trying to edit, but keep getting distracted by The Avengers (I guess I can't multitask after all).

message 7064: by Sue (new)

Sue Taylor (suetaylor) | 10 comments Hi I'm Sue Taylor, and I recently published my first book "Dance Of The Robin", it is aimed at the teen market and is suitable for younger teens too. I set myself the challenge of producing a book that I would be happy for an eleven year old to pick up and read, hence it containing no sexual content or violence.
I am currently finishing off my second book which is aimed at older teens. My intention are that it will be published in June.

So happy to have found this site.
Thank you
Sue

Nice to meet all of you!

Cat Michaels Good morning,

Cat here. So glad to have found this group! I live and write illustrated chapter books for grades K-6 in North Carolina. But on this lovely spring day here in the southern US, it is ever so hard to concentrate on writing and stay indoors.

I just released my second book, Finding Fuzzy: a You-Decide Tale of a Lost Friend. You can find more about me and my writing life on Goodreads Cat Michaels.

I'd be over the moon to find others Goodreads friends and share ideas and books.

message 7080: by Mandy (new)

Mandy (mandyrosko) | 3 comments Hi, I'm Mandy, sometimes called Rizzo, and I write as Mandy Rosko for several different romance genres. Paranormal, medieval, M/M, and erotic. I have about fifteen books or so, with a few more in the works. I'm currently finished the first book in a new trilogy, and now I just have to tweak it and start the second before I can find some beta readers :) I'm also getting ready to put my medievals into print, which will be super :D

I also tend to have a love/hate relationship with writing. I love stories and I adore publishing my own stuff and working from home, but my laziness and need to play videogames and sleep in tend to make that difficult for me, especially since I just got a PS4 :3


Favorite authors at the moment are Josh Lanyon, JR Ward, and right now I'm reading a lot of Shannon Wests stuff.

I'll always have a special place in my heart for Jane Eyre, and that's all about me :)

Carol Mays (goodreadscomirisspring) | 8 comments Hi. I've just written a new book--Stardust, Shadows, and Secrets, which combines essays, poems, and a novella on the theme of finding and creating enchantment in life. I would like to add two books that I had written/compiled previously--Halloween Stories and Games for Mixed-Age Parties and Mystical Poems by Three New England Writers--but unfortunately, since I included my middle name on the cover of the Halloween book and since I included two contributing authors with Mystical Poems book, there doesn't seem to be any way to add these two books to my dashboard/profile. Is this correct? Goodreads has these books in the database, but I have not been able to add them to my list of books.
