[Nicholas]

Hello everybody, I'm Nicholas Dufresne. I am a self-published author and just published my first book, A Planet to Nowhere.

Publishing a book is a dream of mine that I've finally accomplished! I would be thrilled if other people read it and tell me what they think of the story.

I write primarily science fiction.

My book is available on Amazon, Kindle, and Kobo.

Hi Blue, best books for me are those that are introspective and humanist. I read a lot of international law/philosophy because it helped me understand some of the post-conflict areas where I worked.

Hello everyone...First-time author here!

My name is Patricia Menezes, penned P. C. Menezes, and I am a first-time self-published author.

My first book Little Things, complex Matters, presents poetry focused on discussing complex life matters in a digestible, simple way.

This journey began as a hobby and as an alternative journaling activity and is now a first poetry book where I muse on different topics such as art, science, past, future, people and love. I enjoy traveling, cooking and both complex engineering and human topics.

I was born in Rio de Janeiro, and currently live abroad where by day, I am Senior Business Manager in the Engineering and Manufacturing industry, a career which still inspires many of my writings.

I would love to hear from readers in my author page and learn more about the work of you fellow authors.

Small town soul and scribbler. Self published my first book called, 'Jake the Water Dog'.

https://mybook.to/kGtp

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

The tale is about a dog named Jake who goes on an adventure to find big water. I used personal photographs due to my lopsided stick figures. Whether you are a child or young at heart, may it put a smile on your face.

So far, I haven't received any reviews and hope to hear from you soon. Help grow a better writer.

Thank You!

[Phil]

Sorry, Vincent- I'm new to Goodreads (my excuse).
I've been trying to retire from a career as an architect. I closed my office on the Big Island of Hawaii ten years ago, and I keep getting calls to help old friends.
I wrote a couple of novels while living in Hawaii, and stopped to hone my writing skills and re-introduce myself to my wife.
It took me two years to complete another work, and I uploaded a fiction novel to Amazon earlier this year (Lies, Deception, and the Stealing of Wealth). And now I have another in the works (Just A Touch).
I read as much as I write. Stephen King was adamant about reading in his book "On Writing", and that was one of the big three takeaways I got from him.
I also like getting inspiration from reading poetry and song lyrics.

[Gina]

Hi everyone,
I've been on here awhile, but I made the switch from reader to writer so I figured I would reintroduce myself. My debut novel Unlovable but Maybe Not publish August 18th through Ingram Sparks. It's a Romance with a sprinkle of thriller.

Thanks. I'm still working part-time, but it's nice to have my afternoons (mostly) off.

[Timothy]

I'm Tim from Michigan. I love both reading and writing. I love anything that explores the human condition regardless of genre, though my goto genres are horror, mystery/thriller and scifi. I've just started writing with the intent of trying to publish and just put out my first short story and am in the middle of my first novel.

[Anne]

Hi, I am an avid reader and writer. My first novel, Butterfly Dreams, was just released by Aristata Press (https://aristatapress.com/books) the day before yesterday and is available online and in select brick and mortar stores. I am working on my second novel, and am also a singer-songwriter. Professionally, I have spent my life as a cultural anthropologist. I gave up my day job in the tech industry almost six years ago to pursue writing full-time.

I have set up my author profile here on Goodreads and also on Amazon, but am still trying to figure out how to garner followers. I already have a lot of friends on Goodreads from before. Love to hear from others about how you have done it!

All my best, and thanks for having me. Oh and my book website is: https://butterflydreams.mcclard.com--... on by!

My Curious fellows,
I have uploaded my recently published article on the real origin of algebra. The ResearchGate link is given below:

My article sheds light on the true origins of algebra, revealing a lesser-known historical narrative that remains largely undiscovered by the majority of people.

Kindly give your feedback.
Thanks

Hello!

I am Ilona, a children’s book illustrator and author living in France. I love creating whimsical worlds and make detailed illustrations. I have published my third picture book just a few days ago, which you can find on my Goodreads profile: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I also am an avid reader of almost every genre, but I’m especially loving books that give me a cosy feeling!

Thanks for taking some time to read my little comment!

[Karen]

Welcome, Ilona!

I see from your profile that you are a top reviewer. What sort of books do you review, and in what language(s)?

[Ilona]

I didn’t even know I was a top reviewer!!

I try to review all the books that I read, and they are from various genres, but I’d say they’re mostly children’s books (picture books, chapter books, middle grad novels), fantasy, and lately I’ve been very interested in Japanese literature as well.
My reviews are written either in English or in French, depending on the language in which I read the book.

[Sue]

Hello everyone, my name is Sue Tort and I am a reader and a writer. I am new to Goodreads and when I have found my way around I'm looking forward to getting involved with some of the group chats.

I read most things, fiction and non-fiction although I do draw the line at novels which have extensive descriptions of gore or any animal cruelty.

I write cozy crime and I have published two novels in my Mumford Mystery series. Yes, there is a dog, and no, he doesn't get killed or hurt!

I am a vegetarian and animal lover. I also love music - I guess that's why a couple of my characters are musicians! I play the saxophone (badly) and the cello (really really badly).

[Lyv]

Hey Everybody!
My name is Lyv Lamere (well, my pen name that is ;) ).
I'm a new author from Germany, where I'm currently living with my husband, our two cats, and my snake.
While I've been doing all kinds of things in my life so far, like studying veterinary medicine and working at a lab, and working as a contractor in the tech industry, through it all, I've also always been a reader of all kinds of genres.
With my love for books, it felt kind of natural to follow up on a comment between friends meant as a joke and actually start to write my first novel.
By now, I'm still a little surprised and just thrilled to see my debut novel Generational Payment: Couples & Crime Book One has found its way into the big, wide world.

Have an amazing day!

[Ryan]

Hello, my name is Ryan Beckelman. About four years ago, after a conversation about books we were reading, a friend and I were marveling about how authors do it! I decided to give it a try. It didn't start smoothly, and it took me some time, but after a while I found my stride and now, I can't stop. I hope I've written a well-crafted story with endearing characters that my readers will love as much as I do.

[Wayne]

Hello, fellow writers (and readers, I hope)! I'm Wayne Campbell, recently published, forever writing. I'm a lifelong word nerd, having written my first book, "Sick Mouse," for my second grade teacher to read to the class. My first published work was my autobiography in 2021, which originally began during the pandemic as my record of life for my sons. Kind of a backward way to start, but there we are. I now have two nonfiction titles and one book of short stories on the market. My debut novel, "Codagenesis," is slated for release next month. Check out the trailer here: https://youtu.be/4am2_tphI3s?si=nDVIV...

[Kirsten]

Hi! My name is Kirsten and I'm an avid reader and student researcher. Right now I've been reading the Witcher series and I've been looking on Goodreads for more books that offer an interesting take on the fantasy genre. I'm also running a study on indie authors underrepresented in traditional novel publishing, so if any authors here are interested in helping out with a research study please feel free to reach out!

[Jon]

Hi all. I'm Jon Sparks, author of the genre-stretching Shattered Moon series (and a lot of non-fiction before that, as a writer and photographer specialising in travel and the outdoors).
'Three Kinds of North' is the first book of the series. It's a coming-of-age story set in a post-apocalyptic world that may feel strangely familiar (and there are no rats or robots to be seen!).
Here's the blurb:
A distant future. A world transformed.
Remnants of a shattered moon traverse the skies, memorials to an ancient and nearly-forgotten conflict. In an isolated northern land, society is overseen by the reclusive, all-female, Guild of Dawnsingers, which holds a monopoly on advanced learning. Life seems peaceful and well-ordered; but are the Dawnsingers as benevolent as they seem? What secrets are they hiding?
And what really lies beyond the mountains in the East?
Orphan Jerya unexpectedly finds a home in the Dawnsingers' Guild, but her new life turns sour. Soon she finds herself struggling to reconcile the exhilaration of learning with her growing doubts about the very basis of the Guild's rule. Ultimately she faces an agonising choice which could utterly change her life, and the lives of her two most trusted friends.

[Manuel]

Me llamo Manuel Cordón, soy de Barcelona. Siempre me ha gustado los temas relacionados con los mundos distópicos mezclado con algo de Ciberpunk, estilo Mad Max, Judge Dredd, Blade Runner, etc.
Así que me decidí a crear un libro con mi propia historia, situada en Madrid, en el 2111 en un mundo distópico.

Se titula: El Quebrantamiento
Sinopsis:
¿Cuánto puede soportar el ser humano hasta ceder a su propia oscuridad?
La misteriosa Junta, desde lo más alto de la cúspide del poder, moldea las vidas de una civilización fragmentada, donde Cristofer, Héctor y Luca, se entrelazan en una espiral de secretos sepultados, traiciones mortales, y relatos desgarradores.
El Páramo Hispano, territorio de escasez, radiación y delincuencia, les espera.
¿Serán capaces de confrontar la sombra que se cierne sobre ellos?
Una historia cautivadora de lucha, revelaciones y redención, en un mundo donde la humanidad se aferra a su último suspiro.

Me encanta el mundo de la ciencia ficción, y espero compartir muchas historias con ustedes.
