Introduce Yourself!
Welcome Edmond, W.C., and Mr. B. and Mrs. B.! W.C., I will check out your book as I read and write fantasy.
Hi,My name is Richard Jensen. I'm a writer, historic preservation consultant and occasional web developer from South Dakota.
After my agent spent about a year trying to sell a series of photo books to various publishers, and after I failed to find a decent on-demand printer that produced satisfactory output (the problem isn't the resolution, it's the paper quality), I decided to reimagine this series as an e-book only enterprise.
I've just uploaded the first two books to Amazon, and am looking for reviewers for them. I'm also trying to build a "platform" for non-fiction works that may be forthcoming.
Looking forward to feedback from the rest of the community!
Hello,I am the author of the book, The Daily Hazards of a Middle Eastern Wife, which got published on Amazon and Kindle. For the first time and with a comic twist, a Middle Eastern wife talks about some traditions women face in the Arab world when getting married. The book also discusses topics in regard to pregnacy, child-birth and raising children in the Middle. There is a huge cultural gap between the Middle Eastern world and the Western world. And there is nothing better than humor that can bring those two worlds closer together.
Here are the links to the book:

Welcome to the group, W.C, Mr. & Mrs. B, Richard, and Soad!
Hi I'm Emzie,I've read all my life and just recently got this story in my head that I can't get rid of. The story is developing in my head every day and I realize I need to do something about it soon before my head explodes. :)
I haven't actually written down a single word of it yet, but a lot of notes (which I desperately need since the plot is quite complicated) and I'm really excited to get started with plotting out the storyline and develop all the characters.
I found this group whilst searching for good software programs for writers and I'm hoping joining you will encourage me to move on and find handy input to my work from all you experienced people :)

Hiii :DMy name is Kanika Dhameja. I’m an avid reader and also a writer :)
I’ve written a lot of blogs. Lately I’ve written a novel for young adults titled “You are my Wonderwall” which is going to hit the stores pretty soon. It’s a story about unrequited love and I’m sure people will be able to relate to it.
I really hope to find the right audience here :)

Welcome Susanne, Kanika, Raj, and Frank!
I'm Nina and love reading books.I like sharing and receiving book recommendations and reviewing books.
I'd love to make some friends on here and talk to some like-minded people who share my love of books.
I'm happy to read anything and am trying to work my way through the classics, but my favourite genres to read are Fantasy and Historical Fiction.
I buy more books than I have time to read, but don't we all? I love collecting really old books too, and get super exciting when rooting through a secondhand bookstore or charity shop and I come across an antique or first edition.
My 'to read' list is long and my 'to buy' list is even longer, but I'll get there sooner or later. :)
Welcome Nina! I am a fantasy author. Would you be interested in reviewing my books? They're fantasies and very short. The titles are Guardian of the Gauntlet and Guardian of the Gauntlet, Book II. If you have an e-reader I can send you free copies.

Hello Vincent..my name is Marietta Harris. Thank you for this opportunity. My first book "The other side of Alzheimer's, a caregiver's story was written to help families understand how being a caregiver will change their lives. My second book, "The Gospel Choir Murder" involves an Oakland choir. Both are sold in print and ebook format at Amazon,B&N, itunes as well as in book stores. I'm looking for an agent but until then I'm self-publishing. I still enjoy speaking to families about Alzheimer. Maria Shriver gave me an excellent review. I must admit my passion is murder mysteries and my next book is soon to be released. Can anyone share with me their marketing process?

Hi! I am Kathleen Marie and I just published a compilation of poetry written 26 years ago while ending an abusive marriage and becoming a struggling single mom to three boys.

My ebook is titled Me and My Three: Poems of Survival for My Children and Me, The Perfect Little Family. Thanks for allowing the introduction...
Hi, I am Abhijit and have published a fiction novel with Penguin-Partridge Publishing house titled "Dream Walk - The Requisite Journey". The story is about the couple on a journey which reveals the good and bad side of every experience. People they meet during journey expose the uncontrolled things over controlled and vice versa. They need not to force themselves to a mere truth of realization that the troubles in life are never ending but the other viewto it can be illusion as a trouble and an unexposed
side of pleasure and enlightenment.
That is all about my book.

Clare wrote: "There're lots of fantasy enthusiasts here. That's great! (I enjoy many genres. However, fantasy-romance with a bit of horror in the form of vampires is the genre-crossing work I'm writing. I hope..."
From what I can tell, vampires are still very popular.
He was my dog. His name was Keroberous (Kero for short).He was the inspiration for my "Kero's World" series of children's books. He's also the inspiration for Yua the Westie from my book "Yua And The Great Wizard Hunt" which is a fantasy story I was actually in the middle of writing when we lost him, so it has a dedication to him at the start of the book.
We lost him almost a year ago, but I haven't been able to bring myself to change my profile picture yet.
Hello all, new to goodreads groups. I started reading fiction(mostly horror) in grade school then I pretty much stopped all reading and acquired a love for movies instead. Lately I have been an avid nonfiction reader but I am making a switch back to fiction. I enjoy mystery, horror, action/adventure, and scifi the most. I am currently writing 2 fiction novellas. Ive written non-fiction plenty but I have a "essay writing" type of mind and people dont like to read those much. So I am trying the fiction route and see where that takes me.
Thank you for reading, see you in the threads.
Hey Everyone,My name is James McDonald and I'm a Goodreads Author. :)
Here's wishing you all well.
Best
James
Welcome Emily, Felesha, Marietta, Kathleen, Abhijit, Diamante, Adrian, Erin, James, Clare, Jessie, and James. Erin, I'll check out your book, as I read and write fantasy.
