Hi Donna. Thank you for your message. It’s an interesting point about buyer profile. I aimed for a totally new market as this new book is not really about Karate, however the karate enthusiasts are buying it and talking about it, but as well this time, people from musical backgrounds are also very keen. I’m very pleased with the response and because it’s such a very personal documentary, family and friends are also getting copies.
I really would like organisations involved in child abuse to take an interest, as ultimately this is what the book is about.

Kind thanks Jared. It’s not a regular kind of read I’m afraid, but quite a shocking view of my life as a victim of a pedophile, and my fight to emerge from that childhood into the real World.
Best regards to you.

Congratulations Sandeep. This MUST warrant a read! Good luck with your entry. 👍

[Sandeep]

To everybody here with much respect.

A Ladder Of Panties, currently rated 4.5 stars, reached #2 on the Kindle store, in the recent past. Three days ago, it was invited by Amazon.in to join its Prime Reading programme. In short, A Ladder Of Panties has made it to the top 1000 books, out of a possible 12 million on the website. Besides the above, it has also received 4 Kindle Book Deals.

Here's the trailer. Unlike others, this one has been shot with actors, dialogue, sets and an original sound track. Would love to hear your take.

Hullo,

So I am the classic 'writer who doesn't finish anything. Except I got pneumonia and couldn't leave the house so I stayed in bed and wrote furiously until I got to the end. Much to my own surprise I might add.
The result was a Werewolf Romance that I am now hoping to get some reviews for. Enormous fun to write :)

Once I had done that I got down to work on my day job, and as a side project I wrote a Resource Book for Teachers of English to very young children. I had to self publish it because the publishers without exception said'Oh we don't do that.' to which I could only wail 'I know, that's why I had to write it for my teachers in the first place!' Grrrrr

Hi! My name is Emily, I'm16 and I'm new to writing. I've been reading nonstop for years and one day I just decided that I wanted to write my own. I'm very new to this though so I'm still learning. I'm not full-on publishing a book right now but I have posted my story to the creative writing section of this website, called A Match Made in Heaven about angels in an enemies to lovers story. I'm going to add a fantasy element to it too but It's going to take a few chapters to get to it.

Hello, I'm Ray Noble and the author of the mystery/thriller it wasn't always late summer. I look forward to interacting both as an author and reader. I write regularly in journals and have appeared on television and radio, both as a musician and as a writer. I like exploring what makes us who we are and our interactions with others, particularly through the characters in novels. I am now in my 70s. My novel draws on my experiences in early life, but there is a 'ghost'...It Wasn't Always Late Summer.

Hi, My name is Diana. I work as a teaching assistant and have grown up children. I have self published my book 'It Won't Happen Again. Martha has been married to Thomas for twenty-nine years and he has been abusive since the death of his mother. Martha has always blamed herself and tried to keep the peace, even to the detriment of her relationship with her only child, Laura. She has been totally isolated from those who love her and in permanent fear of imperfection – which won’t be tolerated by Thomas. Martha’s only release is her diary to which she confides her deepest secrets, her conflicting feelings, her resentment of Thomas’s high standards, and her sadness that her family is broken. Join Martha now on her journey from victim to survivor.

Is anybody getting any sales as a result of posting on this platform? I'm not. Four of my novels got 5-star reviews and a fifth novel got a 4-star review. I've said it before, and I'll say it again--I just think there are more authors out there than readers.

I would be extremely grateful if authors/readers on Goodreads can read and review my book and pass on the feedback on Goodreads.

Happy to be on Goodreads, Thank you.

Getting your books noticed is always difficult, regardless of the way you choose to try and put them in front of readers. Getting those who notice them to actually review them has always been even harder still. Add to that the fact that some people aren't reading as much as is normal for them right now - either because they aren't in a position to buy the books, because they aren't in a good place mentally/emotionally to read as much as they did pre-pandemic, for some other reason, or for a combination of those things - and suddenly getting that many reviews seems like a fantastic achievement. At least, I think so. And, to be honest, all you can really do is keep trying to get your books in front of readers, and be glad those who have taken the time to read and review them have clearly enjoyed them.

Thank you, Victoria. Appreciate your support.

[C.A.]

Hi everyone. I'd like to introduce my latest (and 1st) novel, Mostly Dead. It is a supernatural thriller based in the mountains of Western North Carolina. The story focuses on Alan Curtis, a haunted man returning home after years away. His return is marred by the discovery of a mutilated body, which turns out to be only the first in a nightmare that grips the town. The story has chills, mystery, and even a little romance. I invite you all to check it out.

[Roy]

Hi, is it normal to receive requests for a free copy of your book to carry out a review (when you haven't asked someone to do it)? I have received such a request from someone but their Goodreads profile is private so I cannot see who they are or what they do. They say they cannot download a copy from Amazon, cannot receive gift versions and won't buy a copy. Is this irregular or am I just being overly cautious?
This is all new to me since publishing my debut book, The Scariest Dinosaur, on Amazon, so any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

[Susan]

Hi all. I'm Susan (Suzie), lover of reading, writing, travel and all things Italian. I live in Alberta, Canada with my husband, but am always looking for ways to spend more time in Italy.

ITALY THROUGH THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR: Finding Connection and Belonging arose out of my extended travels through the 20 regions of Italy over the span of 15 years. Please check it out. I'm also interested in any objective reviews.

See https://www.amazon.com/dp/0228844495/ for more information about the book.

I have received the same type of request about free ebook for the review - exactly after posting here last week. Cannot see the "reader"´s profile - it is private. My book´s name was not mentioned at all. I wrote a reply, but now I am not sure shall I send them something.

[Rachel]

Hi there, I would say if you receive a anonymous request to submit your book please ignore it because a genuine reviewer would buy the book and review it honestly. I received some similar requests for my new thriller, The Lies we were promised. All the best

[Susan]

I got the same type of request. Wondering if it is some sort of scam ?

Unfortunately, things like that are common. Don't send your book out when you get requests like that though. At best the person probably won't review your book.

[Emé]

I'm Emé Savage author of The Genesis Chronicles, a soulful fantasy series with mysticism, magic, and mayhem.

I have two novels published in a planned four-part series. I'm releasing the third novel at the end of 2021. I also have two short stories written in the same universe with a third planned for publication in October 2021.

If you like The Time Quintet, Dune or Ripples you will like my work.

"T'Gan's life is upended when The Lady arrives at his village. She is a fugitive but has risked her life to complete one last task. Save the boy.

T'Gan learns that nothing is what it appears and life as he knew it has been irrevocably changed forever. Can a long-forgotten story help T'Gan after he has lost everything he holds dear?" Echoes of the Gidat, Book 1 of The Genesis Chronicles

I hope you enjoy my work and I'm very excited to learn more about your work. I am also an avid reader and reviewer.

I keep getting pornographic 'friend' requests coming through Goodreads as well as 'so and so likes you status', also with virus warnings. Can't Goodreads (as big and powerful as it is) monitor these things?

Welcome Reet. You'll definitely find some interesting people lurking around here. It's fun to poke around here and make connections.

[Simon]

My name is Simon G. Carson. Throughout my time I've been trying use my creativity for an exciting life. I've always had a passion for drawing, but then one day when I found the French series Tara Duncan by Princess Sophie Audouin-Mamikonian, I've decided that I should give any character a story of their own. Not only do I like writing, I have a passion for drawing, and also performing on occasions. To best describe me, I am a talented artist of all three, and I'm hoping this could get everyones attention. For now, I'm just self-publishing on KDP, but I hope that one day I'll get a big break as a true artist. So with my regards, I pray for a good future for using goodreads.

Hello, thank you for posting here. I belong to this group as well. I recently wrote and self-published a memoir. It tells the compelling true story of all that I went through in order to "make peace" with a chronic painful condition and the loss of my religious vocation. I was in the Catholic Convent trying to make it to Final Vows as a Franciscan Religious Sister but had to leave in 2007 because of my poor health. Might this be a genre you are interested in? And if so, would you be interested in reading my memoir and then blogging about it? If so, please e-mail back at: behindthetapestrymemoir@gmail.com. Thanks so much and God Bless!
