For Goodreads, when you're creating another discussion or thread in a group, you can type the title in someplace and it will show your cover and be clickable, but I don't know any other way :)

Welcome, Richard!
The three books in my series "Life in the Shadows" came out my time living in Moscow, USSR, Sandymount, Ireland, and Windsor, England where I worked a corporate job while being involved with the team portrayed in these books. I originally wrote a number of others as Christmas gifts so we could all enjoy the stories we knew so well. When they began to draw interest I took those unedited gifts off the market and wrote the three in the series. The 4th "The Red House" will be available in the near future. It will be a collection of "Shorter stories" about the same group. Thanks for your support and interest. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08...
Hopefully with Christmas in mind, my second novel Harbinger Island, the first in the Detective Inspector James Copperfield series (Book 2 out very soon), is now available in paperback, but far cheaper in kindle. This is an English detective mystery thriller series.To be clear this is Harbinger Island by Gary Diamond,

Beware of Karen White, some of the groups say that she is a scammer, when she wins books and they mail it to her house, some say the mail comes back to the authors. Not sure what's going on, but if that is true, we need to remove her from the group.

Hi everyone! My name is Tanishkka and I'm a reader. Reading books is not just my hobby, it's my passion and giving independent reviews to the books that i read is another one of my favorites. My favorite book genre is Murder mystery and related stuff but other books too interest me.
Good afternoon from Prospect, Maine!This looks like a great community. I only discovered you today.
I've been writing and publishing for a few years now. (Some self published and some by a small press — @encirclepub.)
My husband & I are both cancer survivors and have learned to look on the brighter side of life. I believe this is reflected in my newest endeavor with children's picture books, which I have penned and illustrated. (And had a ball doing it!) The two up on Amazon are:
1) I WANT TO FLY and 2) I WANT TO SEE THE BABY
Coming out soon is: I WANT TO SEE GRANDMA
The nice thing about children's picture books is that they are not only entertaining & uplifting but they are also quick for reviewers.
I hope to be an active participant in this community.
My best to all of you!

Hi! I'm Wren, and I'm the author of The Crown of Olmalis series. I love to read contemporary romance novels, but a friend of mine suggested I give writing fantasy a try, and now I'm addicted to writing romantic fantasy too! My debut novel, The Serpent Lord, comes out on October 18th (in 9 days!) and I can't wait to read it along with everyone else that day. I love wine, elephants, Pokemon, and Nutella. I'm always here for book recs and I love chatting about bookish things all the time.

Hi, I'm K. Turner. I'm a new children's book author. I have written four books since the pandemic began, as well as one empowerment journal for kids. I'm currently working on my next children's book, the next in my Princess Amishta series which is aimed at empowering little girls. As well as writing and illustrating children's books, I also dabble in poetry and am working on my debut horror novel which will be released in 2022.
Hi! I'm an indie author/illustrator. My book The Face Painter's Mirror just came out. It is a colourful story about a coulle of kids that want their faces painted. They then discover themselves transformed into what is on their faces when they look in the mirror. The problem is that the face painter decides what to paint on them based on gender stereotyping and not their wishes..I just released it and am working on translating it into Spanish since I am latina and would like my family back home to read it too haha.
Nice to meet you!

I've always loved reading and over the last year I decided to move into writing too.
remember to watch out, looks like the person Karen is using Virginia and Barbara now to scam people, please report them to Goodreads.
Good afternoon,Since introducing myself in this thread, I have been getting emails and messages from people wanting me to pay them to review my book and to give them my book for free. I am not interested in paying for reviews, and my ebook is exclusive to Amazon which means no giveaway per KDP Select's TOC.
If you are truly interested in reading and reviewing my books, my books are available on Kindle Unlimited, and if you don't have KU, I suggest you purchase the ebooks. Like I mentioned before, I am not interested in paying for reviews and much prefer organic reviews. If you are a book review service, please do not contact me asking me to pay for your review and to give you a free book copy because my answer is no. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
Welcome to the group, Ebony, Sarah, and Todd!

Those kinds of messages are scammers and spam. Just either ignore and delete them, or report them. No genuine reviewers on here should be sending messages like that.
Good Morning Everyone. My name is Vivian Rhodes. I live in So.Cal and am a reader of suspense as well as an author/screenwriter. You may (or may not) have seen my Lifetime Movies: Stolen from the Womb and My Mother's Killer Boyfriend (terrible title...they changed it from "The Narcissist".) I've had 2 books published, and my newest thriller Girl Obsessed is due to be released in a few weeks. Looking forward to meeting other authors and readers of mystery, suspense and thrillers. (My books Groomed for Murder and If You Should Read this Mother are available online)
I cannot afford to pay a book review service. I delete those emails.
Hello, I'm Petra Kidd (sounds like a pirate's name, I know!) I live by the River Wensum in Norwich UK and I write short stories. The Eight of Swords The Putsi The Isolation Sex Stories - this last one isn't erotic as the title might suggest, it's humour!
I'm a photographer as well as a writer and Norfolk landscapes are my thing but my guilty pleasure is street photography. When I'm not writing or taking photos, I'm out walking or cycling and of course reading. My current read is Spirals of Fate by Tim Holden, a local chap. It's a great book about one of our local heroes - Robert Kett. Come say hello on Twitter where I am @PetraKidd
Hello, my name is Sheila Sellinger and I am a Christian author that writes mainly fiction of various genres, but I have published a couple of picture books for the fun of it.I really enjoy reading too, and my preferences are eclectic, though no horror or erotica.
