Hi Everyone!

My names Matt, I'm an author from Canada who wrote a science-fiction book called "Brain Virus".

Plot:

It’s the year 2093, Mars has been colonized, and Earth is under its control. A brain chip implant has been introduced & Earth’s human population is down to one billion. The red planet has been terraformed and the first colony, Marsity, has 89,000 people. The Red Hotel and Casino marks the grand opening and official ceremony of the colonization for mass interplanetary migration. AI technology and robots have replaced man & woman in the workplace at an unprecedented rate. Having already suffered from so much disease, famine & war, – the people of Earth are at their breaking point and ready to leave.

The Albatross is the most modern military space vehicle, captained by Sgt. Lorenzo Del Sorrento and his crew of righteous misfits. They get the call of duty to help save civilization by putting an end to the oppressive Brain Virus, when a hostile Alien race invades the solar system, Mars & Earth defense forces rise up to fight back. With support from Arjun Galatee, a trusted servant of the Providence police force, his son Marcus, his friend Delilah, and a group of hackers from across Earth who work together as a loyal and determined team to help save humanity.

I have learned so much along the way with plenty to still learn. Already starting to work on a couple other books, to include Book 2 of the Serafina Gray Mystery Series.

Kali Rises: Marauding Stars Book 1

I'm Wells Carroll... and I am not a person. Honest. I am a pen name for a group of writers, retired military officers and sci-fi geeks who had a crazy concept. Let's write an 8-book sci-fi series called Marauding Stars. It's about societal fears. You know, things like climate change, AI singularity, genetic manipulation, societal injustice, economic crashes and many, many more.

You might be wondering why a group would use a pen name. Well, in the current environment of political correctness, wokeness, cancel culture... who wouldn't want to be a non de plume? In the Marauding Stars series, as Wells Carroll the group can discuss everything from politics to AI, human nature to alien religion, and everything in-between. Ardent politically/socially aware readers who find fault with what's written can object... but have no idea which contributor wrote that part of the book. Almost a 100% chance they will get in hot water if they want to attack this group of contributors.

The contributors vary in age from 17 to 74; in politics, covering the gamut of parties; in race, got it all except aliens; in gender preference, covering every spectrum. Somehow they all get along... and are trying to get everyone else to join them.

Speaking of joining, I am always looking for more contributors to form my collective psyche. After you've read Kali Rises: Marauding Stars Book 1, if that universe sparks your creativity and you believe there's a character you'd like to add... or if you'd like to try a spinoff book... then drop me a line and I'll pass on the message to the staff at Stellar Nursery Media. If you can't reach me here, jump over to www.stellarnursery.net.

The first three books are finished. Book 1 is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Ingrams. Book 2 comes out in June, and Book 3 in November. Books 4-6 will be published in 2025, and 7-8 in 2026. And not to worry... we have a better track record than NASA when it comes to meeting benchmarks and deadlines.

[Rex]

Hello, I'm Rex Wolf, currently organizing my ideas and outlining them. I'm gonna start writing in a week or two. It'll be a High Fantasy Novel.

I'm writing and learning at the same time. Wish me good luck.

[Wells]

Good luck Rex! If I may suggest a writer's trick... procrastination is the devil. If you're going to write, start writing even if it's a thought-jogger on a PostIt note or napkin. And if you need help, don't be afraid to ask.

[Ann-Elizabeth]

Hi everyone! Ann-Elizabeth here. A Canadian author that enjoys writing historical romance with a dark twist.

My first novel, The Year of Fallen Stars, revolves around an unsolved Victorian murder that forces together the son of an English crime lord in 1881 and a Canadian woman living over a century later. Yes, it's about time travel. And forbidden love, dark secrets and 19th century gangs!

You can find the book here:

The sequel will hopefully be published in April.

I look forward to being part of this fun community. Cheers!

Hi Everyone -
My name is Matthew and I'm an avid reader, I generally have no preference when comes to genre, as if the story grips me then will get complete loose myself in it.

I have written two novel, yet unpublished. Enjoying the process of learning and discovering new authors and writing styles, hope to meet likeminded people and swap ideas.

[Jennifer]

Hello everyone,

I'm a multi-genre author and will post more about my books in the genre threads. Currently, I have a published cozy mystery with its sequel out next month, an off-trope contemporary romance, and am writing a thriller.
I live in the Midwest, U.S. I like to read in most all genres as long as the books are well-written and challenge me to think differently about the world, experience, and teach me something new.

[David]

Cheers everyone. My first novel, called The Twitter Gospels, is set for publication on April 9 and my second one is well underway. As a lifelong musician I continue to be a little shocked at how creatively satisfying writing is, though in ways that are entirely different than music. I've always said that I like myself best while playing music. Though still more true than not, writing is edging in to that calculus. That said, the other side of the writing coin - self-promotion - leaves me cold. I suppose the difference is that my music speaks for itself - good, bad or indifferent. While writing a novel demands some amount of self-promotion. I'm not quite there yet ...

[Pat]

Cheers! My name is Pat Adeff and I write sweet, clean, emotional romance. My new upcoming series is the Lovers Key series. (Don't you just love a Florida beachy small town vib!)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTSMX964
The five Campbell sisters in this family saga are each as different as sisters could possibly be, yet their sister-bond remains unbreakable. Add in a strong-but-silent decorated Navy Seal, a dive shop owner, a bodyguard, a cop, and a billionaire, and things get very interesting. The emotion, the heartache, the soul-searching, the learning to trust, and all the “feels” of falling in love are woven into this spell binding five-book family series.
I also have two other series already published. https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/series/0...

[Norman]

Norman Brewer here for the first time. I've written three novels. The first two were about terrorists, informed by working at the Transportation Security Administration after 40 years in journalism, mostly as a reporter and editor in D.C. Those books are Blending In and Killer Politics; read the latter as a sequel or a stand-alone book. My new book is January 6: A Novel, my take on what could have happened when the Capitol was stormed. I've tied them together as a series - The Anti-Hero Rebellions.

Hello everyone.
Writer from France, I finished my first novel in English and am currently looking for an agent. Though work !
I write something between speculative fiction and fantasy but always rooted in our contemporary world.
My world is somewhat strange and tainted with humor.
Hope to find fellow writers here and maybe some readers.
So greetings from France.
Isabelle

[Josh]

I didn't do much prose writing until recently, but it's always been a dream of mine to write a novel, which I accomplished after four years of effort. Writing is something I really enjoying, and I've written poetry on and off since I was a teenager. Entered a few short story competitions, and even managed to get an honorable mention in the Vile Puns Category in the 2019 Bulwer Lytton Contest!

I live in Oklahoma, married with kids, work a different day job full-time but am looking forward to continuing to write books.

Hello Isabelle,

I was intrigued to read the description of your writing, "speculative fiction and fantasy but always rooted in our contemporary world. My world is somewhat strange and tainted with humor." This could have been a description of the world I created for my first novel and its sequel (which is about two-thirds written). The only word I would change when describing my fictional world is 'contemporary', and replace it with 'historical'. Nevertheless, there is much a writer can say about our current, real world through a fictional world, especially when it is "tainted with humor".

I was also intrigued that, as a French person, you write in English; that sounds like quite an accomplishment. Is there a reason for this?

(I suppose I had better introduce myself here too as I am new to Goodreads.)

[Michael]

Long story, short...
I started writing short stories about four years ago. Family and friends encouraged me to write more, then they encouraged me to publish.

August 2023 - I was able to publish my first collection of short stories, 'Fonts', as an eBook.

Dec 2023 - Published my first novel, 'Gruseltal', again as an eBook.

Feb 2024 - Entered three short stories in an international writing competition (closing date still in the future)

March 2024 - planning to publish my second collection of short stories, called 'Songs'.

Currently working on a sequel to 'Gruseltal', plus more short stories for a new collection, and am aiming to improve my style by writing very short stories (Flash Fiction).

If any of this is of interest, there's more info on my Goodreads Author page. Thanks for reading this far.

Greetings. My name is Steve Williams. After two intensive years of listening and research, I recently published Music Titans - 250 Greatest Recording Artists of the Past 100 Years. The book explores 250 of the most "consequential" musicians of the past century (1920s-2020s). You will find artists of every genre profiled, from pop to rock, R&B to hip-hop, blues to jazz, country to classical. The book combines my lifetime love of and involvement in music, history, and education. Several industry professionals have taken note– music publisher Peter Burke called it a "masterpiece"; Grammy winning music producer Jeffrey Weber wrote, "I love this book!"; rock historian and author Kevin Buck opined, "The fact that it spans all major genres only increases my respect for Mr. Williams' outstanding work product." I make my home, alongside my wife, in Maui. I am honored to join this group.

Hi, My name is Rebekah Webb, I am the author of, "First Love Lost, True Love Gained." It is my personal testimony of how God led me to meet my husband." It is my goal to reach out to this generation with the hopes that they will seek God for their future spouses. I started my writing journey when I was about 13 years old when I was given my first journal. Since then, I have had many journals full of prayers, thoughts on life, revelations, songs and more. I believe, if something is on your heart and in your mind, you should put it down on paper. It's good to look back and see how far you've come. Besides you never know who you might encourage along the way! God bless you all!

[James]

Hello Family... My name is James and it is very nice to meet all of you book loving souls. I am not only a new author, but am also very new to writing, so I am humbled to present my book to you all. It is a memoir with a twist. It is a book that questions why people believe what they have chosen to believe. To answer that question, I start with myself and I take you on a journey where I explore how I came to understand my own personal beliefs.

The title is: History and the Topics We Can't Discuss in Public Anymore: A Memoir and Journey to Understanding Those Taught Beliefs of Religion, Politics, and Nutrition.

I know, sounds very controversial because these topics seem to bring the worst out in all of us. But it really is just a reflection of those views as I explore them for myself. In an attempt to understand why we are so divided and passionate about these issues, I take my readers with me as I recall my upbringing in the early days of what is now called Silicon Valley, and a Pacific Northwest homestead. How I learned political debate at the dinner table and confronted what I believed were contradictions of religious dogma. What I learned from my career in law and by pushing the limits of human ability on mountaintops of the Cascades, the Andes, and the Himalayas. It reflects how experiences can challenged our preconceived notions and can lead us to deeper understandings of our world and bridge divisions prevalent in our world today.

I am excited for any feedback, advice, and welcome critical comments.

Thank you,
James

[Christopher]

How do you do fellow authors? *(Insert Steve Buscemi with a skateboard)

I'm Chris and try to crank out a yarn every so often. It's been 5 years since I (self)published anything, but I'm back and giving it a new go with renewed zeal and vigor! Anyway, I did a thing and wrote a tongue-in-cheek space adventure starring a plumber on a space station. I'm giving it away since I think that's a fair market price for it.

https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...

I write about what I know. The first (terrible) book I wrote was about being in the military, but I changed the setting to SPAAAAAaaaaace, because its more fun.

Now I work at a plumbing company, so I wrote about a plumber.... In SPAAAAAaaaaaace.

That's me. Look forward to... whatever it is we do here together.

[Nicole]

Hi Everyone! I'm Nicole from Las Vegas. Just joined the group.
I'm a first-time author. My debut book will be published soon. It's called Lessons Earned: a short blend of memoir meets self-help. I share stories about my journey into my forties and lessons I learned the hard way. It's an entertaining and emotional peek inside my life as well as a call to action to excavate your own lessons and how to better your live by applying them! The second book (the next decade) is being written as well. Should be out this year. I love to share with and help other women with life relationships and self-discovery...along the way, learning more about myself & life.

I love to read! I mostly read non-fiction to learn and improve but also sprinkle it with thrillers, light hearted fiction and true crime to get away from "myself".

Thanks for having me in the group! I'm looking forward to connecting with other bibliophiles.
Happy reading!

[Christopher]

Cool man, I was a medic in OIF II. Sounds like a good read, I'll send you an email.

Seems like a big shift from... Children's golf? Am I reading that right?

[John]

LOL yes, that is a good catch. I have an eclectic library, to say the least. I am currently finishing my LEADERSHIP LESSONS lecture book because I have been approached by several colleges to give lectures on the subject. That book is entitled, ARMY VALUES, "Lessons in Leadership". I also wrote several others but am waiting for my editor to jump on them. They include; "HOW TO BEGIN WRITING AND GET PUBLISHED," "MY MILITAR LIFE," (autobiography), and COMBAT JOURNAL, Part 6 (a compilation of all the previous 5 books in the series. Believe it or not, I have written a children's book series but am in negotiations with illustrators which is slowing down the process.

(If anyone out there has any good leads on children's book illustrators, give me a shout-out.)

BTW, thank you for your service. I too was OIF II (CSC Scania, FOB Kalsu, Anaconda, Cedar, etc.) Email me and I will send you a complimentary copy of one of my OIF books. I wrote them with veterans in mind.

Hello, Nicole from Las Vegas. I was there two weeks ago and had a blast. I caught the movie at the Sphere which was quite memorable. Your book is entitled "Lessoned Earned" funny, my most recent book is entitled, "Leadership Lessons Learned" it is so close to your title that I gave it a double take. I think that you have a winner. I am also a non-fiction and self-improvement type of author. Welcome to Goodreads. John McBrearty

Hello Vincent... Yes, thank you for creating this group!

My pen name is B.A. Vonsik. I write Science Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Epic Fantasy. I've be at authoring stories and books for over ten years... with a temporary pause through COVID, hurricanes and massive flooding here in Florida, retirement from Lockheed Martin, and a few medical problems needing to overcome. The good news for fans... I'm back at authoring my award-winning science fantasy series, The Primeval Origins Epic Saga. The series has now won 41 literary awards (among the first three books). A really cool and rewarding feeling for me. And, I love all the reviews I and the series have been getting from awards reviewers and fans.

I've just released a digital-only story-short "freebie" for fans - Primeval Origins: The Harbinger of Judgments. Fans and those interested in what the story and series are about can get it at my author's website - https://www.bavonsik.com.

It feels good to be back in the writing saddle with a modernized Primeval Origins website - https://www.primevalorigins.com that has detailed information on the Primeval Origins universe including an encyclopedia archive with language lexicon plus a lot more and my new Author website with book and game news, blog, and more. I'm looking forward to giving new and current fans more of my award-winning story.

Hi, I'm Alexis and this is the first reading/writing group I have ever joined. Goodreads is my go-to for finding new books and keeping track of the things I have read, but it's time to utilize it for something new. I have wanted to write and publish a book since I can remember. 42 years have blown by and my dreams are still just that. A children's book has (finally) been written, a group has been joined...on to the next step! Good luck all, and thanks in advance for the advice.
