Hi everyone. I'm Paul Backalenick, author of The Twisted Roads Series. The series currently includes three books that are presented in Goodreads. My novels focus on a group of friends and lovers who travel twisted roads through life, making both good and bad choices along the way. Some dream of the "Big Score." Others take chances on love. They embark on risky adventures with uncertain outcomes and face challenges both within themselves and from without. I'm lucky to have gotten great reviews from readers and Kirkus. I hope you will take a look at my website: PaulBackalenick.com. Thank you.

Welcome to Goodreads! Your story really spoke to me. Different countries, cultures, careers and hobbies- all within a couple of decades of human life. Its not easy for us, modern humans, is it? But I agree- one can choose to treat every challenge as a gift, for it gives us strength to open many new doors, and most of them are wonderful.. just as long as you stay tuned in to LOVE.

I'm Olivia Oliver and I want to be published, but have no idea where to start or who to trust. I have self published on KDP, but have no idea where to start on marketing. I've been holding on to this book for awhile and want to write another one, but am discouraged with what to do after it is written. I'm here for advise in the publishing / marketing process.
My book is a romance novel on Amazon, Red Poppies Purple Violets
Dear Olivia,Good to hear from you! and yes, writing is only half the battle, unfortunately.. I am a new author myself, not an expert, but I've found this link to be really helpful:

Hi, I'm Ronald Schulz. I love true stories, gritty nonfiction that does not hold back and brings the reader into the experience. You may like my books on the Wild Sixties. HOME AT THE EDGE is a sequel to CHICAGO RAGE, more is coming soon!
Hello everyone,My name is Luminescence Goh. I am the author of the bilingual novel Chronicles of the Enchanted Vanguard: Seraphina and the Divine Mandate. This work integrates critical environmental issues into a compelling narrative, educating and entertaining readers simultaneously. My approach heightens awareness of ecological challenges and motivates readers to take action. The positive feedback and testimonials underscore the impact of using storytelling for social change.
While writing this book, one of the most significant challenges I faced was battling self-doubt and the fear of not meeting my high standards. Overcoming this involved a substantial shift in mindset; I learned to accept the imperfections in initial drafts and recognized writing as a process of continuous refinement. Seeking feedback from trusted peers and mentors was invaluable, as it helped me gain perspective and enhance my work. Embracing imperfection as a natural part of the creative process enabled me to complete my book confidently.
This journey highlights our dedication to excellence in storytelling and design, aiming to enrich the reader's experience. I am deeply thankful for my work's recognition and am thrilled to share this creative vision with a broader audience.
Please visit me to discover more about the five-star reviews and awards my book has received on my Goodreads profile. You won’t be disappointed!

Hi guys, Agneeshikha here. I am a published author, but only of peer-reviewed research papers and academic book chapters. Though I am a debut author- publishing my Paranormal Novella in August! I am a researcher and daydreamer by profession who writes at night after having at least five coffees throughout the day.
I go by Blue Leprechaun, I'm what one would call an anxiety riddled introvert so forgive my lack of socializing skill. I am an avid reader. Usually reading multiple books at once while also listening to multiple audio books at once. (Audiobooks for working hours). I'm dyslexic so I don't count audiobooks as cheating.
I also write, with a push from my husband I've become a new author. Which I'm still figuring out, I love the writing the marketing or pushing my book on people I don't love so much.
I'm happy to be in this group it seems full of wonderful people to be around.
Hello! I'm Tiki Black, author and advocate for the Arts.My passion lies in crafting stories and poems that weave together magic realism with the evocative power of sound. I've donned the hat of a ghostwriter for several published books, but my own literary voice can be found in a poetry and lyrics collection under the name Tiki Black, and a linguistics theory book published under my birth name.
As an avid reader, I devour a wide range of genres, from the whimsical worlds of children's literature to the thought-provoking depths of philosophical novels. Poetry, mysteries, and the occasional YA adventure also find a place on my bookshelf. Ultimately, a captivating first paragraph is all it takes for me to get swept away by a story.
Beyond writing, I actively contribute to the artistic landscape. I serve as a beta-reader, book reviewer, and editor, along with writing for magazines and blogs in both the UK and US. My driving force? A passion for promoting excellence across all artistic mediums/a, encompassing literature, theatre, ballet, and music.
Hi there! My name is Evan Lacy, and I'm a writer from NC! I'm incredibly inspired by Beat poets like Allen Ginsberg and the transgressive fiction of authors like Charles Bukowski, but my first love is music. The surreal, painterly lyricism of Tom Waits, David Bowie, and Bob Dylan influenced the dynamic flow of my first novel, First Date, a young adult anthology about the melodramatic trials and teen-sensation tribulations of high school relationships. I'd love to hear any feedback and look forward to reviewing YOUR works as well!
Hi! My name is Koby Bowie, and I am also a writer. Cool to see so many fellow authors here. Best of luck to all of you on your search for more readers and congrats on completing the books you've done. Completion is success! For anyone into baseball and romance, I have written a novel titled 1842. It's about two baseball players growing up in OKC, playing ball and going through their own issues. Jesus can be found as an underlying theme, but the story is not without reality. Some language and sexual situations throughout. I set the age for 14+, so it has a very versatile range. Hope it fits someone's palate out there! Peace and love -Koby L. Bowie
Halosche, everybody. I'm a HS English teacher and author in Wisconsin USA. I've published six books so far, and my seventh is coming out in the fall.I started writing my first novel when I was 12 years old. It became a fantasy/SF trilogy I finished in college, but it needs a lot of work before it's ready for human consumption.
In the meantime, I published a book of stories in 2013, mostly by accident. I wanted to see what the Amazon KDP platform was all about (at that time it was known as CreateSpace).. When I set up an account, I was asked what my project was called. Well.. I didn't have a project. Then I started thinking about some stories I had written over the years, and ideas for others I could add. Before I knew it, I had spent the summer (my only time for such matters) composing, revising, and designing the book. I was — and am — proud of the results, and the collection was well-received by family and friends. (They even sent photos of themselves with the book. How kind! Alas, I cannot link to that page of photos here.)
I followed this up with several other books, about various topics: The power of mindfulness (and a sequel).. political essays.. How to be a great educator.. and, most recently, a SF space adventure called Delivery to Nimbus X . (I'm writing the sequel to that one now.)
My new book is called Brains: How to Survive Apocalyptic Bibliophilia. It's about a woman named Nasha who is trying to build a library during the zombie apocalypse. She meets a young traveler named Dan, who swings a heck of a baseball bat, and is searching for some answers about a painful incident in the past. They have to figure out how to work with each other and how much they're willing to risk in order to understand death — and life. (No GR page for that one yet. The global distribution arrangement is in process.)
I switched from Amazon to Lulu with Nimbus X, because I dislike Mr. Bezos' monopoly power and how he treats his workers. (I refuse to promote myself on X for the same reason; I cannot stand Monsieur Musk.) This may limit my capacity to reach a bigger audience (and obviously my work is still available through Amazon), but it's important to me to release my books in a way that makes me feel good about the process.
I've tried for many years to get published by the Official Gatekeepers of Culture. I haven't gotten many results, and honestly I'd rather be working on my next project then spend all my time begging agents and reps for their attention. So here I am, eager to network with readers and other writers. Holler if you hear me.
Namaste and greetings from India!Been a lover of stories and avid reader since I was in single-digits age-wise.
I love books of all shapes, sizes and kinds - sci-fi and spec-fic being particular favourites (broadly speaking).
Tried becoming an author but while I couldn't get traction with publishers for my prose, the world of comics opened a door and I've been writing them as best I can for about a decade now.
Got several modest projects under my belt now and a few pokers in the fire for the remainder of this year and the new year ahead.
Nice to meet you all.
Cheers!

Bonjour Vincent,
Vous vous demandez certainement qui est celui ayant rédigé le premier véritable outil d'éducation professionnelle (par opposition aux méthodes de formation ordinaires) destiné aux commerciaux et aux chefs d'entreprises, abordant le métier sous l'angle de la pratique de la vente tout en expurgeant la théorie pure et en réfutant le théorétique enseigné depuis plus de trente ans pour le plus grand malheur des nouveaux vendeurs et des chefs d'entreprises qui les emploient. Au cours des pages du livre "AINSI VENDAIT ZARATHOUSTRA" vous allez comprendre beaucoup de choses et la raison pour laquelle il était urgent que le savoir-faire des vrais commerciaux, (c'est à dire ceux formés exclusivement au feu du terrain), qui firent en sorte que les trente glorieuses le soient réellement, soit transmis afin qu'il ne se perde pas dans les méandres de l'Histoire de notre métier.
Ma naissance professionnelle a eu lieu à 19 ans dans le monde de la vente. J'ai actuellement 65 ans en écrivant ces lignes. J'ai débuté mon apprentissage professionnel à l'école des assurances dans une période où la formation était encore valorisée et l'excellence exigée. Ma carrière s'est achevée en tant que Directeur Commercial France pour une société qui éditait des sites Internet. Entre ces périodes, j'ai assumé divers postes de direction tels que Chef des Ventes, Directeur d'agence, Directeur Régional et Directeur de Filiale, dans des secteurs tels que l'automobile, les maisons individuelles, l'immobilier, la maintenance électronique industrielle, etc. J'ai, durant ces quarante années recruté et "formé" plusieurs centaines de commerciaux. Fort de plus de quarante ans d'expérience dans un métier que j'ai choisi et non que j'ai rejoins par dépit d'autre chose, j'ai créé une méthode de vente aux antipodes de la dictature jacobine des enseignements classiques.
Aussi vrai que l'expérience est le nom que chacun donne à ses erreurs la mienne est riche d'un savoir important acquis au contact de divers acteurs que j'ai rencontré au cours de ma carrière et qui m'ont enseigné ce qui me permet aujourd’hui d'être un expert de mon métier. Pour résumer je dirais que je n'ai eu que deux postes dans ma carrière savoir, le paradis et la poussière; je n'ai pas su demeurer dans les postes intermédiaires; voilà pourquoi j'ai été si peu connu du plus grand nombre et que ceux qui m'ont approché m'ont toujours blâmé ou loué avec excès mais d'eux j'ai appris; ce qui m'autorise à transmettre désormais. Fidèle à ma conception de l'action et étant dans l'immanence du réel, ce qu'il est, j’ai mis au point une méthode spécifique de vente, d'encadrement et de recrutement des forces de vente.
J’ai su pendant plus de quarante ans démontrer de manière opérationnelle mon savoir-faire dans le domaine de la négociation, de la conquête de nouveaux marchés, de l'encadrement des forces de vente et du développement commercial. J'ai occupé plusieurs postes m'adaptant sans cesse aux particularités de marchés réputés très difficiles. À la Direction de ces services où les résultats doivent être perçus de manière concrète, j’ai à chaque fois dépassé les objectifs qui m’avaient été fixés. Les expériences acquises depuis mes débuts jusqu'à ce jour participent à la mise en œuvre d’un professionnalisme diversifié. J'ai banni ce piètre document qu'est le CV; sorte de lanterne accrochée dans le dos, dont la finalité n'est que d'éclairer le chemin parcouru. Seule la lettre de motivation fait sens dans le cadre d'un recrutement; vous verrez pourquoi en lisant mon livre.
La production commune d'une idée de la vente pour commerciaux constitue une impasse anti commerciale dont les effets s'observent sur toutes les places du marché de l'emploi où fleurissent des désirs de vendeurs jamais satisfaits et dans les pages de tous les journaux d'annonces légales passés du statut "bulletins de naissance" à celui de "simple rubrique nécrologique". La vente n'est pas l'art de savoirs nouveaux mais celui de combinaisons nouvelles de savoirs anciens. Ma méthodologie propose de retrouver le sens de la relation commerciale authentique qui tourne le dos au théorétique, au spéculatif, au théorique pur enseigné dans les temples consacrés. Elle implique que ne soit prise en considération que la vente pratiquée, incarnée, mise en actes, qui fait d'elle la mesure de la validité d'une pratique. Cette méthode vise deux buts: Vous donner les outils indispensables pour créer VOTRE PROPRE METHODE et VOUS LIBERER !
C'est cette méthode que j'enseigne dans les entreprises en général, quelle que soit leur taille grâce à des Master Class et c'est cette méthode que vous pouvez apprendre en lisant le livre "Ainsi vendait Zarathoustra". Je suis convaincu que y vous trouverez matière à penser votre profession et qu'ainsi vous parviendrez à sculpter votre propre statue professionnelle ou pour le dire à partir de Nietzsche, que pour votre plus grand bonheur vous deviendrez ce que vous êtes professionnellement, comme tant de vendeurs avant vous. Je vous souhaite les meilleurs moments au cours de votre lecture et la plus grande réussite: celle que vous méritez !
Pour vous faire une idée de mon livre AINSI VENDAIT ZARATHOUSTRA c'est ici:

Hi! My name is Sara Sheeran and in March last year I published my debut book The Sum of all Parts. It's a shattered story told via 6 perspectives. A woman is at a crossroads in her life : behind her lies regret and pain, before her uncertainty. Who is she? More importantly, who does she want to be? I'd love to hear your thoughts on my book and am willing to discuss!
Hi everyone, my name is Glen, and I'm excited to share my novel, The Secret Pact, a historical fiction set in early 18th-century Jamaica. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1PGRFBJI've always been captivated by Jamaica's rich history, and this story is my attempt to bring that era to life. I'm so grateful for the early reviews and hope that The Secret Pact will resonate with readers and find a special place on their bookshelves.
Hi, everyone! I’m Shamree. I’m a trauma focused mental health therapist, mom, and bearded dragon lover. I just wrote my first book where I shared my life experiences and healing journey in hopes to motivate others to improve their lives. I also share my personal diary entries at the end of the book. It’s a pretty short read and very interesting if anyone would like to check it out or want to suggest it to anyone who may struggle with self esteem or difficult relationships. It’s called Transmuting Trauma: The Therapist’s Story. Thanks for having me here!
Author's biographical noteDr. Jacques COULARDEAU has had experience in several directions. He began performing on stage around 1972 and joined the SACD in 1976. From the poetic and theatrical stage, he moved to the radio with Radio Quinquin in 1979 and half a dozen other radio stations until 2004, including the most recent Radio Craponne and Radio Chrétienne de France (RCF) Clermont-Ferrand. He has an actor's retirement at CARSAT and a retirement contribution for more than twenty years of professional life as a radio author at SCAM. His critical approach to live performance, music, and opera, including theater and puppets, kept him busy on the radio and in the press. On the theater alone, he has published more than 50 articles, most of them in Avignon.
In another direction, he published numerous books which can be found at the National Library in Paris. Since 2012 he has almost only published virtual books and various blogs. He has more than 32 titles published as ebooks on Kindle. He is also a professional content writer at Medium.com. The English language seems to be more important than French. I recommend his book Jacques COULARDEAU, Shakespearean Addiction, English Edition, February 16, 2020, at Kindle, ASIN: B084V3XMN6 at Amazon.
His most important scientific research remains linguistics, in particular historical linguistics, which we today call the phylogeny of language. He published two fundamental works in this perspective which he discovered and deepened with Jacques Teyssier who left more quickly than expected in August 1973. Jacques COULARDEAU and Ivan EVE, Cro-Magnon's Language: Emergence of Homo Sapiens, Invention of Articulated Language, Migrations out of Africa, English Edition, ASIN: B074DXJM5C, July 31, 2017, and Jacques COULARDEAU, Paleolithic Women, For Gendered Linguistic Analysis: Alexander Marshack – The Roots Of Civilization – Revised And Augmented Edition – 1991 – A Review, English Edition, ASIN: B083P5XT6R, January 9, 2020.
He publishes regularly in the USA, China, India, Romania, France, and sometimes in Great Britain. He is regularly called upon in the sociology and psychology of education and language acquisition, this very day in Japan. Between two articles he tries to work on an opera, a video, and a film, and from time to time he develops a personal critical relationship with an artist or an author, but he only quotes Shakespeare to remain non-controversial, intimacy thus remaining virtual. His second favorite author would be Stephen King. He is trying to catch up in Chinese literature and theater. His Asian and Buddhist orientation dates back to his long stay in Sri Lanka in 2005 and his friendship with his assistant at the Sorbonne, Ivan Eve, who returned from Laos and Vietnam at age 18 in 2009.

Good Afternoon, everyone. My name is Mike Scantlebury and I write crime fiction thrillers. I live in Salford UK, across the river from the famous Manchester United Football Club.My current problem is that there's another me (not me).
An author called 'Michael Scantlebury' lives in Vancouver, West Canada, and writes books about the Bible. He has written even more books than me!.
Can anyone advise on how to tell us apart?
Hi, I'm Karl. I am 44. I've lived what everyone keeps telling me is an unbelievable story of a life. I've overcome quite a few things that should have killed me but yet here I am. After everything I've been through, I kept having doctors and nurses tell me that I had to share my story with everyone. So I wrote a book about my life. It turns that a great many of the few that have read the book have thought highly of it. So I've just been on a mission to spread that story of hope. Seeing where life takes me.
A Misfortunate Misfit
Hey Readers (and writers) I’m a suspense and thriller author and my latest thriller, Noxious comes out this Tuesday 8/6!!! I can’t wait to hear what you think!! Teaser below!
Finally free of her mother's controlling ways, Natalia, a quirky misfit with a penchant for the unexpected, heads to New York City after learning her family's darkest secret—Daniel, a stepbrother she never knew existed. Desperate for acceptance and love, Natalia becomes the person Daniel expects, hiding her true self behind a carefully crafted facade.
By day, she works for Stuart, a powerful and eccentric corporate executive, eliminating costly retired pension recipients with ruthless efficiency. To assuage her lingering conscience, Natalia justifies her actions by targeting those with irritating habits. Each hit is meticulously staged to appear as natural causes, earning her both a handsome pay and a sinister sense of accomplishment.
As Natalia spends more time with Stuart, his enigmatic wife, and a blossoming new love interest, the innocent front she maintains for Daniel begins to crumble. Her true nature starts to seep through, and Daniel's growing suspicion threatens to unravel her carefully woven lies.
Caught between the life Daniel envisions for her and the thrilling, dangerous existence she thrives in, Natalia must make a choice: conform to her stepbrother's expectations or fully embrace her dark, unapologetic identity.Noxious is a gripping tale of deception, identity, and the perilous balance between love and truth.

Hi group!My name is Mel Foster. I was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age. Because of the difficulties associated with that, I found solace in writing. And at only seventeen, I submitted my first manuscript to a publisher. Receiving positive encouragement to keep writing, I decided to work diligently toward my dream of becoming a published writer.
My debut novel, Falling From Grace is my first published work, but I am already a prolific writer having written twenty novels by age twenty-three.
I look forward to getting to know you all!
Yes, positive encouragement goes a long way! You sound like you will overcome all obstacles in your way.
Hi. I've either typed this in the correct box, or someone is going to be confused about an answer to their comment.I have previously introduced myself some years ago: '...103 years old; mannerisms and looks like the famous film star Elmer Fudd; etc..'. Today I am just interested in interesting people about my short story collection, Tall Short Stories - not as reading matter, but because it has a shiny new front cover.
For people who like to look at shiny new front covers, then this is the book for you. You can find it on the Rakuten Kobo website (I know, mentioning 'Kobo' on an Amazon owned website - it's not the done thing). But there it is: all gleaming, shiny and new...
...just waiting for you to stare at it and say, "ahhh!"

Hello. I'm Scott from Skaneateles. I'm sixty-four. I struggle with, commas. I've co-authored and illustrated a YA non-fiction historical bio and posted it on Goodreads. It's self-published. My singer-songwriter partner Brad Colerick and I formed the animation firm Deep Magic Song & Drawing Co. so we could make music videos for indie artists, often in a genre we call "animontage", best imagined as Ken Burns meets Harold & the Purple Crayon. As a non-singing, sole animator I needed a device to stretch time efficiently without destroying the storytelling impact. Recently we took one film, (currently hidden from view as it travels the film festival circuit), and adapted it as a book - it's on Goodreads now, though it launches on September 27, 2024. I look forward to meeting readers, other authors and illustrators around the water cooler here, regardless of how they pronounce my town-of-origin.
Hi, my name is Edward.
I'm an American who has spent too much time, decades, in the sun and sands of North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
I am trapped in fiction that is not fiction. Good stories about strange places best experienced from the comfort of your armchair.
