Dreamingofcheese | 2 comments Greetings! My name is Wallace and I am an addict. I can't help myself, I have no control over myself. I love to read. I've read so much that I am now delusional (hopefully not) about my chances as a writer. I am currently in school for business. As you can tell by my name, I love cheese. I am now learning it's craft also.

Let us know a little bit more about who you are:"


MY name is Fred Lipschitz. I have been practicing psychoanalysis for close to 50 years, and have recently published Suddenly, a Science Thriller based upon my interest in Quantum Mechanics, and In A Mind's Eye, exploring the geography of a psychotic mind preoccupied with revenge upon a Psychologist. My latest novel, Tangled, in final edit, takes us on a trip through the mind of a man who thinks too much, and is faced with the strange happenings at Mercy General Hospital where patients are disappearing, and strange Wards appear guarded by the military. It feels good to come out of seclusive writing and join with you. Fred

Hi I'm John Cummings, and I think I introduced myself when my first book was published in November 2013. I have now just released the second book in the Finley Flood series and it's available in paperback and kindle formats on Amazon.

The new book:
Finley Flood, The Wall of Darkness.

Finley Flood age twelve has a secret, a really cool secret that he only shares with his closest friends. When they all start to have the same dreams Finley realises something is very wrong and discovers the menacing darkness that will give them the biggest challenge of their lives. When Fin gets stranded and is in deadly danger, he finds the most awesome use for his new phone that you could ever imagine. As the tension mounts Fin and his friends will have to confront their biggest fears as they explore a strange and hostile land, where darkness rules and something sinister lurks within. Danger abounds as they race to locate the source and protect the most secret of secrets from a terrifying power that threatens their entire existence.

Hi everyone

Lovely to meet you all, I'm Christopher Brunt and I have recently published my debut novel Ralph and the Purple Fly, a sci-fi satirical novel, which has in many ways been influenced by two of my favourite writers Bulgakov and Vonnegut!

I am also on Twitter as @CJBWriter and host a blog on my website www.christopherbruntauthor.com, where I hope to help promote the work of other writers via reviews and mentions: so please contact me if you're interested.

I see you already put yourself on the author list, so... If you haven't already, I'd suggest giving your book a mention in the science fiction section, then looking around to see if there's anywhere else you have anything to post. Sorry, not extremely helpful, but it's the best I can offer.

N.L.B. Horton Good morning! In a nutshell, I'm a seminary graduate (Dallas Theological), represented by a fine agency (Books & Such Literary Management), and published WHEN CAMELS FLY mid-May. The second, THE BROTHERS' KEEPERS, will release in November.

I know that's an ambitious schedule, but WCF has been mired with different divisions of every one of the big five houses off and on for eighteen months. To entertain myself, I wrote the TBK while hearing, "there's something here ..."

Camel up!

message 7738: by Paula (new)

Paula Paul | 5 comments Hello, I've been remiss in using Goodreads, but I am on a pathway to reform. I've published 27 novels, and my latest is FORGETTING TOMMIE, a story about three women who have been friends since childhood until a devastating illness for one and the revelation of a terrible secret for another tears them apart.


message 7739: by Paula (new)

Paula Paul | 5 comments I forgot to mention in my last post that I love to read, and I have an eclectic taste. Also, I write an historical mystery series set in 1880 England featuring a doctor named Alexandra Gladstone. The series has been called The Gladstone Series, but Random House is changing the name of the series. I think they've settled on Medicine and Manners. Not sure yet.

Richard Nabstedt | 2 comments HI everyone!
Thanks for the replies.

In real life I am an aviation industry professional who has dabbled with creative writing since my 10th grade English teacher handed me an essay book and told me to stop doodling on the desk.

Apart from an unfortunate stint in college journalism the majority of my efforts have been in the fiction department, though I have an avid interest in history.

I suppose I should say I backed into science fiction. I simply couldn't figure out any other way to get my novel's characters into 1951 without leaving them there, and I didn't want to do that to them.

message 7744: by J.Q. (new)

J.Q. Davis (jqdavis) Hello everyone. My name is JoAnna Quintana-Davis. My author name is J.Q. Davis and I am the author of "Turning Grace", my debut novel. I also work at a hospital as an Administrative Assistant.
I love writing. Throughout my life, I have found that I explain things better by writing. I am known as the one who "writes a book in her greeting cards" among my family and friends. Haha!
I wrote "Turning Grace" because I love young adult novels and I love zombies. I came up with an idea and decided to put it all on paper and see what happens.
This is the beginning of a journey for me and I am still very much a newbie to the self-publishing world, but I hope to learn a lot and to read more great books along the way.
I am looking forward to learning more about you all!
