Howdy, Goodreaders. Do you have books in corners of your house you can't even reach anymore? Let's connect. - Tom
If you enjoy a tension-filled trilogy that keeps you guessing onto book 2 & 3, pick up my newest novel The Insurmountable Edge: Book One
Hi Everyone! I’m new to Goodreads and to this group. I can’t wait to connect with many readers and authors!
If you are are a mom, you’ll want to read my upcoming book, Inner Compass Mom: finding peace and purpose in the midst of motherhood. Available mid April, just in time for Mother’s Day! It’s my first book and I hope to write many more.
Would love tips on how to connect to more people or anything else that you wish you knew when you first joined. Thanks!
Welcome Danelle You'll Have To Mess With The Sight. Can Be A Little Difficult At First. Lots Here To Enjoy...:)
Hi. My name is Kelly Mack McCoy, author or Rough Way to the High Way. The book is Christian fiction told with mystery, suspense, adventure, humor, and a touch of romance. I have a number of other books in various stages of development. I've received some great feedback for this novel, which helps keep me motivated to complete the others and see them through to publication. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
My name is Domenick Venezia, author of Action/Adventure/Thriller novels. Currently, I have a 4-book series and a one-off, plus a number of other projects in various states of completion. I publish a new novel about once a year. All are available on the Kindle Store and Kindle Unlimited. I write virtually every day. It’s been a lifelong compulsion. I am a native of Washington State, an active private pilot, kayak salmon fisherman, coffee roaster, homebrewer, and past ranch hand, beekeeper, photographer, taxi driver, carpenter, biologist, software engineer, and VP of an iconic Seattle Biotech.
As my bio says, “Throughout it all, was a compulsion to put thoughts and feelings into words—to tell stories. Domenick’s broad experience, meticulous research, and ranging mind brings authenticity and accuracy, emotion and action to his storytelling.”
Ah, shucks.
I am also a judge for the Clive Cussler Collector’s Society Adventure Writer’s Competition, a responsibility I greatly enjoy.

just post your intro on this post here,
A slow month. Half a dozen sales of Good Vibrations, but over a hundred people picked up free copies I was giving away at Capricon 41, a virtual Sci-Fi convention in Chicago. (Well, run by people from Chicagoland, but people from 37 states and 16 foreign countries were 'in attendance' on-line). I also did a reading from a novel still 'in progress' at the convention, called Sapiens Rex. Maybe I'll post a bit of the reading on this Group, sometime soon. (Patrick O'Connor, author of Good Vibrations and other novels of the HaChii Convocation) https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B003P3TYE2
Thank you for accepting me into the group! I write Christian books that combine my inspiring photography with scripture. My books help people develop a closer relationship with God and discover His will. They contain scripture on many topics to pray and declare over your life. Some are scripture and prayer journals. One book is especially for children, and another for teens.If you would like to take a look, my website with my books and photographs is www.NancyDeJesusPhotography.com and my books are also here www.amazon.com/author/nancydejesus. Thank you so much!
Hello allJust joined this group and hoping to contribute to book discussions, reviews etc. A great thank you to those who run the group. Some idea of my reading and writing interests can be gleaned from one of my websites -

Hi! My name is Jane, and I love magical realism/romance/mystery and hard sci-fi stories. I also LOVE science. I am a geologist by training, but a writer at heart. I would love to offer myself as a beta reader to authors in the above genres. So hit me up if you like!I am also looking for eventual beta readers for my book (magical realism/romance) once I am done writing it. I am hoping to connect with similar writers and trade insight and ideas. I am excited to be here!

Thanks for asking--and I would be honored for you to check it out. My first book: "It Happened at Dawn" --a hybrid memoir was published early in 2020.
Hello! Anglo-Spanish by origin, I am an avid devourer of books in both languages. I enjoy a broad range of works, from finely crafted literary fiction to dark, fast-paced detective thrillers. After years of contemplating social media from afar with a raised eyebrow (raised almost vertically, if I'm honest), the boredom of successive pandemic curfews has finally led me to try GoodReads and a few other sites; and to begin polishing 'that' manuscript, the one that's been languishing in my (virtual) drawer for many years. I hope some of you will join me for the ride!

Hello Everyone, My name is Vinod. I self-published an eBook during January month. The book is a Sports Fiction comprising 10 short stories that try to connect certain aspects of sports with real-life scenarios. I had initially started writing this book to get some exposure for my Sports Non-Profit Organization, however, during the course of writing this book I developed a great amount of interest in book writing and thought this is something that I need to explore. I have written another book that falls under the Mystery genre and is completely different from my first one and will be published in the near future.PLAY2DISCOVER: Improving Lives through Sports

Hello everyone! I'm an avid reader and am always l..."
My novel 'Parthena' has had some good reviews on Amazon and recently a very nice review on Goodreads. If you want to try something a little different, It's a western adventure, mystery, love story, that links Victorian England and the Jack the Ripper murders with the wild west of Wyoming.
This is the Amazon synopsis.
Gen. James Cambridge flees his London home at the times of the Jack the Ripper murders, after his wife is found murdered and his house burnt to the ground. He is suspected of murdering Parthena Cambridge.
James’ brother Michael is suspected, not of Parthena’s murder, but of the possibility that he is actually the Ripper.
After Parthena is murdered, James disappears to Wyoming, in America’s wild west.
Some years later, the General, now the owner of a ranch called ‘Parthena’, is living a life of mystery. He is now married to a Cheyenne girl who is virtually the same age as his own daughter. His wife Tantra has a son called Jamie, a half Cheyenne, half white youngster.
And then there is the notorious Ben Denver, working as foreman of the ranch. Denver is an ex-hired gun, fast on the draw and a man with a difficult past that is slowly coming back to haunt him.
Things change even more, when Victoria Cambridge, the General’s estranged daughter, turns up with her fiancé, Robert Mason, to see her father punished for what she believes is the murder of her mother. Richard Gleeson, owner of the town’s saloon, is a man intent on owning Parthena for himself and like Michael Cambridge, determined to wreak vengeance on James.
Is it a coincidence that when Michael Cambridge leaves London to track his brother down in Wyoming, the Ripper murders stop? How did Parthena Cambridge really die?Parthena

Hi Germie and Belynda. Shout out to all the new author members - I'm always looking for authors to interview on my website http://www.ritaleechapman.com. Anyone interested in an interview can contact me through the website.
Reading and Writing and People - I'm an avid audiobook listener and crave historical Christian romance with great plots. I don't do boring and hate it when people ask me to review one of those. I review most books I hear/read. Because I'm an author, journalist and sometimes editor, I need to listen for pleasure reading to prevent eye-strainMy Sister the Cheerleader: Cheer Spirit with Chapter Devotions. My current books are: The Coldest Day in Texas -historical fiction, Crusin' Thru Life ~Did Street and Other Miracles-slice of life stories, Teach Writing without a Pencil - nonfiction, Spy Cam One - Middle-grade fiction, My Sister the Cheerleader~with chapter devotionals -Middle-Grade book on mean girls.I look forward to finding my next read and hearing about yours.
