Hi everyone. I'm Tia. I'm a new author. I just published two books. One is a mystery titled "Unfurling; A tale of friendship, love, mystery & mayhem", and the other one is a short book titled "Don't let your break-up be your break-down." I am currently working on a contemporary romance.
Later on, I plan to stick to the mystery genre and focus on short stories.
I'm glad to be part of this group.

Are you looking for reviewers for your book(s)? If so, I'd love to read and review it in exchange for a physical copy, as I don't really have a good way to read ebooks. My review would be published on Goodreads and my book blog. I can also be reached by email at: justabookishblog@gmail.com

Greetings to all readers and writers! My name is (obviously), Faith. I'm a writer and artist and am all over the board in both categories - simply because there's too many good areas and techniques that draw me into the attempt to express them one way or another. However, most of what I have to offer always falls into the classification of investigative journalism. But that's okay with me, because - as Sherlock would say: "Data! Data! Data! I can't make bricks without clay!" and so I have plenty of sculpting material for just about any genre that pops into my head from the fictional æther.
On that note - I've started quite a few novels and have files filled with outlines, most of which are based on real science - from a proven point of view rarely pieced together for the public.
I keep reading books about the same subject thinking someone else has beat me to the punch-line. But the good news is that they all just skirt around - MY - bombshell. So I'm still in the running for (at least), a one-hit-wonder.
Besides all of that - I also write poetry and would - on that proverbial 'Someday' - love to write and illustrate books for children.
When I'm not on the computer doing research, writing articles or wishing on stars for the magical words to convey 'The Unknown', you'll find me curled up with a real book in my hands. I still love the scent of ink on paper.

Thank you very much, Violet, I would love to provide you a physical copy but so far my books are only available in Amazon Kindle format. The latest book is available for free for all for the next 4 days. If you could try to read it on your phone then I would appreciate it as I am also reading it on my phone as well.
Thanks and Keep on Reading,
Vikas
Hi everyone, I have recently joined Goodreads and I'm joining this group as I am self-publishing my debut thriller 'We Watch You' in October. I have also been blogging for 3 years - about a variety of topics, but mainly books! My blog is at https://nsfordwriter.comBest wishes

My name is Grace Budrys. I'm a Sociology professor who has written books on the health care system and health policy. I want to take a break from the weight of that, so I'm turning to writing fiction. I recently published a dystopian novel that takes place in 2031 that predicts what it will be like when private sector organizations end up managing public sector resources like schools, water departments, fire departments, and so on. It's entitled: The Collapse of Society According to Dick and Jane. I am now turning to happier topics, namely writing murder mysteries. Wish me luck.
I'm Bernard Nkemjika, and I'm an author. My most recent publication is Trial of Clement, a literary fiction novel. It's a thrilling novel with narrative questions, interesting obstacles, interesting resolutions and some lessons to learn. This novel is on www.amazon.com. Some other of my books are on www.amazon.com, www.pothi.com and www.lulu.com. www.bookshop.org is a marketing site where you can also find some of my books.

I thought there was an echo in here! :P
First time writer, long time reader :')I'm hoping to get some advice from the wiser, more experienced folk and hopefully pick up some titles I might not have otherwise come accross :)

Good luck, Grace. I have a public health care background too, so I know where you are coming from. Hope you have some success.

You're right. Thank you.
Hello friends! I'm 34, originally from São Paulo - Brazil.It's a LONG history, but five years ago I was hired to work in the U.S. and arrived with just $200.00 and nothing else. My health wasn't great and my salary was quite mediocre. Well, that's all water under the bridge now, I have more than I could ask for in almost every way at this point—no complaints!
As a result, I wrote a book about how to jumpstart one's life from scratch. It's been three years in the making, and I'm ready to launch it by the end of this year. I seriously could use some help with the blurb and feedback from beta readers—hoping to find the incentive and the right people to cooperare here at Good Reads.
How can I go about sharing my content in the best / most appropriate way?
Nice meeting you guys!
Hi there! my name is Melissa and I'm a mother of 1. I have been writing for a long time and I self published my first book on amazon! I love fantasy and saucy books so I wrote one of my own! I know it's on preorder right now, but it's free on the 9th for kindle readers to read and I think it's all together free. I would love some feedback and reviews!

Hi, after over thirty years of policing the Northern Ireland Troubles I've self-published my first novel 'The Bitter End of Dreams' which is a character driven thriller into which I've poured aspects of my experience and knowledge. I've slightly tinkered with historical fact in a way that allows me to explore how toxic ideologies and sectarian hatred can destroy lives, while keeping the narrative logical and grounded. The novel is set in Belfast 1977. Currently writing book two which is set in 1983.Many thanks

This sounds like a story close to your heart. Good luck. One of the things I do to help new authors is to post their book on my blog. I'll post yours tomorrow. Good luck.

Hey everyone! I'm fairly new to goodreads; my old account from when it was brand new got lost in the mists of time. I'm back now as I've started doing what I've always wanted to do: write!
My first book is a collection of short surrealist stories - The Last Calico Cat (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0997SMSP9). Some are based on true events/dreams/thoughts, some are completely fiction. All of them will take the reader on a unique journey (and since it's a bit of an old art form, and doesn't usually appear in written form, there's a note on "how to best enjoy" at the beginning, too!).
I'm currently working on fiction novel (without the surrealism this time!) that will be full of adventure and Atlantis.

Hi. I am a self published author of an unusual homeschool book. I launched my student to college several years back and used my “covid-quarentine” time to write the book! Developing a Traditional S.T.E.M. Education: Middle School
It’s my story of home educating a highly gifted student in a time when it was rare to do so (late ‘90s). I used a traditional education method that set him on a path to Aerospace engineering. The book is unusual because while it is my story, it is also a book any parent can use to home educate their children using a traditional education method in today’s world. It’s filled with years of experience, humor and lots of resources.
Hello! I write fantasy/historical romances as Michele James. My four book Destined series is published through Boroughs Publishing Group. I've only been published since Jan 2020, and am still relatively new to social media. Would love to make connections with other authors in the romance and fantasy genres.www.michelejames.com
Hello. I write mystery and westerns under L.D. Lauritzen. My first mystery novel 'Regardless of The Consequences just released on Amazon. Like several other authors I'm just getting started on social media and would love to make connections with other mystery/adventure writers. https://larrylauritzen.net
Hi there, I'm Cleo. I write for fun whe I have time and I love to write with other people, it makes it easier to bounce ideas off of them. I have a book on me constantly and love getting new recommendations.
Hi everyone. I’m an independent filmmaker who had an idea that was bigger than my budgets, so instead of making the film, I turned my screenplay into my first novel, Once Upon an Ending. It’s a character driven story taking place two years after the earth has been destroyed by natural disasters. It’s a positive look at reshaping race, religion, and gender in a world starting over.I would love a review, but more importantly, I’d just like people to read it. I hope you will consider doing that. Thank you.

My pen name is Albert Cory, real name Bob Purvy (you can find out what that's about at www.albertcory.io).I have a new book, "Inventing the Future," historical fiction set in the Xerox Star effort, which I was a part of. Walter Isaacson had Steve Jobs talking about his visit to Xerox PARC, and while I wasn't there, I certainly knew about it. Now, people think they "know" that Jobs stole the graphical interface and mouse from Xerox, which is completely wrong.
Do you wonder what it was like to KNOW you're doing something important, but not know how the world will take it? My book puts you INSIDE the project, without any hindsight about it would all turn out.
This is my first novel. You can read almost 10 reviews of the book on Goodreads.

Hello all,I'm a literary fiction writer based in Portland, Oregon. I have three books--two collections of short stories and a novel--and another novel coming out later this year. My work tends to be whimsical and quirky with elements of magic and the absurd (although my short stories about climate change are darker). I love connecting with readers and look forward to some conversations about good books here.

Hi Kirsten. Congratulations on your first novel. Good luck.
Hi everyone! Love reading what everyone is working on! My name is Deirdre Hutchins and I am also a relatively new author. I write paranormal and urban fantasy, with a ghost-hunting series out now and a vampire trilogy coming... soon! (Working on the book cover now and will definitely LOVE feedback and opinions on that. I completely underestimated the importance of a good book cover with my last series. I know, I know... seems obvious.)I am also very open to connecting for anyone who wants an ARC from me - and vice versa.
Excited to be a part of this group.
hi Deirdre, Are you a fan of the Dresden files?

I’m interested in having genuine reviews. Where do I start? My first 2 books are about an Inspector and his friends/family connections plus 2 murders. They’re set in 1911. Inspector Billoughby is the main character.
My other book is a little grittier- County Girls Chronicles- set in 2015 thereabouts and focuses on Ria, a woman that goes through a terrible experience yet picks herself up to begin again.

My name is Sebastian, and I am merely 16 years old. I am writing my debut, which I hope to release soon! I really enjoy most genres, from horror, to fantasy, to slice of life. My own novel is a fantasy trilogy. I plan soon to submit to magazines, write for my local newspaper, etc. If anyone has any advice for me, I would love to hear it! I have joined this group to learn from those who are better than I am!
