I am a reader and writer. I've recently published my first children's book, Daddy Loves You: a story of enduring love during incarceration. Drawn from 35 years of teaching and working for Child Protective Services, this story is intended to help start healthy, healing conversations that validate the experiences of children who have an incarcerated parent and build understanding & empathy in peers. My goal is to get this book into the hands of teachers, families, law enforcement, therapists and agencies serving families. I'd love to have members review the book!
"The Lovers and the Dustman" - the story of one artist's obsession with his muse, came out this week. (https://amzn.to/3KsinZL)
I'm Art McPhee, a retired seminary professor of Intercultural Studies.I'm also a writer. My two most recent books are:
(1) THE ROAD TO DELHI (biography and historical study of Christian missions during the last years of the British Raj in India)
(2) ALL THE SEAS OF GOD: AN ODYSSEY OF LOVE (historical fiction: a three-continent, romance-adventure-suspense story in the last years of World War I)
I'm new but have already enjoyed my first visit to the discussions.

There are so many fictions of every genre. True stories are apparently much rarer. Well, here is one memoir, HAPPENSTANCE, that covers the 20th century from my perspective www.LesterFisher.comvideo clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hSQo...
A very warm welcome to all those who joined in the past week.
Hello to my fellow GR Authors and Readers! Thanks for having me.I love to read and usually have two books going at the same time -- one for my leisurely afternoon read and the other for helping me relax at night before nodding off.
My debut novel, BEHIND THE FOURTH WALL, was just published by Black Rose Writing this month. It's about a New York playwright who comes to Cape Cod to escape the grief of losing his family. Surprisingly, it's not a downer. Please read the recent reviews on Goodreads for a better idea.
When I'm not reading or promoting my book, I'm working on my second novel that centers on post-War Coney Island, where I grew up. Past lives have included time as a Sport Journalist, Playwright, Cable-TV and Hollywood Writer, and Copywriter. Becoming a published Author has been my final frontier and I've enjoyed the entire ride.

Hey everyone, I'm Yashita Sudhir, a 14-year-old first-time author from India. My favorite hobby is reading, and I've been doing it since I was four or five, which is nearly a decade! I have a zillion other hobbies as well, and I love trying new things! My favorite book series is Harry Potter. I started writing stories when I was around eight, but I finally wrote and published a book a year ago. My book is titled 'The School Tyrant.' Although I've published it, I haven't had many readers, so I joined Goodreads to get to know more authors and readers who would read my book. So I would really appreciate it if you read my book and give it and honest review on Goodreads and Amazon. :) And maybe you can even follow my author profile for more updates or be friends?

Hey everyone!Great to be a part of the group! Reading and writing have played a major role in my recovery from an eating disorder.
Inspired and empowered by the storytellers and advocates who started the important conversation around mental health and eating disorders, I knew I needed to add my voice to the conversation. I set on a mission to help others and raise awareness.
I never imagined I'd actually write a book, but here we are!
I combined my passion for advocacy with my love of writing, opened my heart up, and proudly self-published Starving for Survival in January.
I look forward to connecting with you all!

HI, I'm in Metro Detroit, I've written two books -- both are only partially linked here in Goodreads because either I'm clueless or...Goodreads doesn't allow me to link to different ISBN's of the same book title published on different formats.
Hello all!Glad I found this group! I'm just outside Hartford, CT and am a public school teacher by day, musician and dad by night, and just released my first "collection" of stuff a few months back. I'd love for anyone to check it out and let me know what you think... It's a mix of short fiction and poetry.

Hola, Vincent:Soy Seti Falcón, autora de la novela Entre Jade y Esmeralda, que recién salió publicada a principios de este año.
Yo tengo formación en derecho y criminología, pero actualmente no ejerzo. Escribir es algo que siempre había querido hacer pero nunca quedaba tiempo para dedicarme a ello. Hasta que con el parón por el Covid encontré el momento perfecto.
Estoy encantada de estar en este grupo, aunque reconozco que no domino mucho esta pagina. Mi meta es dedicarle un rato todos los día para aprender.
Saludos a ti y a todos los miembros del grupo.
I am Cheryl Schuberth & live in Colorado. I have one published book, but since it came out I've realized how much I love to write mostly non-fiction! I have a couple more ideas in the queue.One experience can change everything, but we almost never recognize it in the moment. We often back away from challenges thrown at us when we’re comfortable on the current path. We need to be intentional about whether to make the turn or stay the course. Make the decision to step up, or let the opportunity pass us by. Not accepting the challenge is a decision to stay where you are.
Hi there! I am the author of Prayed Upon: Breaking Free from Therapist Abuse. It is actually FREE on Amazon now-Feb 2-6, 2022. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HR9TN3NPrayed Upon is the story of one woman’s escape from the abuse of a respected, church-going psychiatrist. Amy reaches out to Dr. Dolion for help with depression, but instead of providing healing, he leads her down a path of deception and betrayal. His office, which initially feels like a sanctuary, becomes a psychological prison, one from which Amy will have to fight to free herself.
Prayed Upon, a true story depicts Amy’s journey from victim to thriving child of God. Her brutal honesty provides an inside look at the warped beliefs that early abuse instills, beliefs that make adult victims vulnerable to sexual predators. Her story shines a light on the under-reported sexual abuse of adults and ultimately the way victims can gain freedom from the bondage of shame that abuse leaves behind.

Hello There.My name is Archer Earl, author of 'The Honorable Executioner.' I haven't won any awards but i did win a local award for speedrunning Gex: Into The Gecko, which in all honesty, is more impressive than winning an Oscar.
I like writing stuff that are inspired by real figures and are set in real places. My debut novel is about an executioner in Italy. When i began writing this novel i told myself to not portray the executioner in a stereotypical way - we all know how executioners are portrayed in entertainment: they are scary, emotionless and are meant to look like real killers.
In my debut novel 'The Honorable Executioner', the executioner is a farmer who takes care of animals in his free time. Instead of portraying the executioner as a tough man, i portrayed him as a broken one. I wanted to write about how damaging an executioner job is on someone who doesn't want to kill. I wrote a depressed executioner, someone who hates himself, someone who has barred himself from civilization and lives alone outside the city gates.
The Honorable Executioner is coming out on May 3, 2022 and you can pre-order here: https://www.amazon.com/Honorable-Exec...
Read the description, look at the cover and decide for yourself if you like what you read. Thanks for reading and have a great day.
Hello Vincent and all - Thanks so much for creating this group. I'm Rich Flanders, new to Goodreads and just finding my way through its treasures. I have a book, a memoir called ''Under The Great Elm - A Life of Luck & Wonder,'' coming out in the next few weeks which I'll be sure to post here. I look forward to meeting readers, discovering new books, and sharing my own. Books that have been particularly impactful - ''The Razor's Edge,'' Somerset Maugham, Romain Gary's ''The Roots of Heaven,'' Louis Bromfield's ''Pleasant Valley'' and ''Malabar Farm,'' most of Hemingway, ''The Autobiography of a Yogi,'' by Yogananda, Barbara Kingsolver, too many more to mention. Feel free to connect via my goodreads site or website, richflandersmusic.com. ''Let the games begin...'' Best to all.
This isn’t an introduction, rather a re-introductory missive! My name is Laura Hart and I joined Goodreads a decade ago as a new author and submitted the first two novels, ‘The Toy Sorcerer’ and ‘The Final Prophecy’, of my trilogy, ‘The Ancient Knowledge’.Thank you kindly to those who reviewed and requested the books and my apologies to all who reached out to stony silence. Cutting an epic life story mercifully short, my sudden and lengthy disappearance had all sorts of excuses like, leukaemia, death, business survival hell and relationship disasters thrown in the mix. No, not entirely book material, but the last decade furnished me with plenty of life’s extremities to include in book three of the trilogy. Yes folks, I’m writing the third instalment and it’s going to reveal many astonishing, irrefutable truths. But, in order to decipher the truths of book three, you need to read books one and two; all journeys need to begin before they can end . . .
I’m humbly requesting reviews from Goodreads people once more. Please do visit my page . . . many thanks in advance folks!
The Toy Sorcerer
