I'm an avid reader too and lately it's sometimes been hard to put somebody else's book down to concentrate on writing my own! There are so many good writers out there.

[Bane]

Yes David!

[Anthony]

Hi, I'm Anthony Caplan and I'm new to Goodreads. I write general fiction, no vampires. I have a new book out end of June called Latitudes - A Story of Coming Home, and about the same time am going to release in paperback the second edition of Birdman, which i wrote a few years ago now. Birdman, and my second book French Pond Road, are both available as ebooks on Amazon, and soon on Smashwords. I'm a proud indie author. I'm looking for connections to readers, book bloggers, and loving the buzz of this Goodreads site. So much going on! Here's my web address http://anthonycaplanwrites.com

I am soon coming out with a book on the subject.

[David]

Hello, my name is David McGarry. I have published a non fiction ebook at Amazon called The Atlantis Precedent (www.theatlantisprecedent.com). The first half of this book is about civilisations that have already been vanquished by climate change and the second half covers the climate change-related threats we are all facing today, including one real danger that could cause devastation at any time.

The entire book can be read in your browser for free by visitng the goodreads page: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Like anyone who has self published, I need to generate interest in my book, so I would really appreciate it if any goodreads member would review it. I'd be happy to email them a pdf or kindle version. I fully respect the impartiality of anyone kind enough to consider writing a review.

Through Christina's Eyes (available on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, ibooks and smashwords.com)describes the mostly unknown history of the Swedish immigration to America and the impact of Christina and her family. The book chronicles the struggles, choices, and love of a family.

Perhaps another forum member can help me out here. I didn't write the reply to Debra posted above that starts "Hi Debra!". I posted another response above that and I have filled out the submission form for readersfavorite.com

Does every author named David who is a member of the forum get referred to by the same name? It's no big deal in this case, but it could lead to a lot of confusion in other circumstances.

[Grampy]

Hi, Vincent! My username is Grampy, because last October my son and his wife had the most wonderful little boy ever born. (Not so little... 10 lb, 6 oz, 23" long.) I'm 58, retired, and have 2 Kindles, the Kindle reader and the Nook reader on my laptop, and around 6,000 books amongst them all. Obviously, I like reading and spend a lot of time doing it! (If my grandson didn't live 2,000 miles away I wouldn't get nearly as much reading done.)

Anyway, glad to be here. You all keep writing, and I'll keep reading!

By the way, my avatar is Jenny, our dog of 16-1/2 years. She had a stroke in February, and we had to have her put down. In her honor, I replaced all my avatars with her picture.

[Alexandria]

Hello, Goodreads Authors & Readers,

I've just discovered this site, and am delighted to be here. My first three books, THE KOMMANDANT'S MISTRESS, ONLY WITH THE HEART, and MASTERING POINT OF VIEW, were all published under "Sherri" Szeman because the editor @ HarperCollins insisted my real name - Alexandria Constantinova Szeman - "wouldn't fit on the cover of the book" and wanted an "easy" first name to go with my "hard" last name.

The 2nd & 3rd editors/publishers didn't want to "lost the name recognition" of THE KOMMANDANT'S MISTRESS and so didn't want to use my real name. I was so disappointed.

Thank god I found editors/publishers for my next books who laughed at that idea. My first three books are being republished this year under my real name (THE KOMMANDANT'S MISTRESS is already out as an ebook), in Revised, Updated, & Expanded Anniversary Editions, with discussion questions, scene indices, and Author's Preface (as ebooks & Trade Paper). My four new books will be out before June (as ebooks) and as Trade Paper by September.

Glad to be here, and hoping to connect more easily with all of you who've sent me emails over the years asking questions about the books, the film options, what I'm working on now, etc.

Best,
Alexandria Constantinova Szeman
(formerly writing as "Sherri")

I think I introduced myself here a while ago, but I'll say hello again since I've been gone from this site for a bit.

I'm originally from the San Francisco area but have been in the Midwest for several years. I write primarily literary and science-fiction and read pretty much everything. I love Italo Calvino, J.G. Ballard, Jonathan Lethem, Haruki Murakami, Margaret Atwood, and Saramago.

Thanks, David. Glad to be here. No one in NY ever told me about this site. I discovered after reading Amanda Hocking's blog. I love this place. Don't have enough time to do everything I want to write here and all my other work, too. Enjoy the books.

[Barbara]

Hello! I am author, Barbara Techel and I became inspired to become an author when my dachshund, Frankie suffered a spinal disease and became paralyzed. I realized I had a beautiful opportunity to educate children to be positive in the face of challenges through Frankie's example. It's been an incredible, blessed journey. I'll be sharing all I've learned from my "dog on wheels" in a book I'll be releasing in 2013 called, "Through Frankie's Eyes: One Woman's Journey to Her Authentic Self and the Dog on Wheels Who Led the Way."
My hope is to inspire others to see disabled pets in a positive way, as well as inspire others to follow their hearts and live with passion and authenticity.

[Anthony]

Hello all. My name is Anthony, and I've been self-publishing my work for the last 3 years. I'm primarily a children's author, but I've also done a couple of books for adults. Lately, I've become partial to the YA realm and think I'll be staying there a while. Presently, I've written and published 16 children's books (various artists), 3 YA books (4th on the way), and 2 books for grownups. The subjects and genres vary, but I'm partial to edgier stories and topics. All of my books are on Lulu.com, but many are available in paperback and Kindle format on Amazon.com.

I'm not looking to be the next J.K. Rowling (as amazing as that would be), so I mainly just sell and promote my books at fairs, conventions, and farmer's markets. I also read them at schools, daycares, and the library, so what initially started out as one book for my very young daughter has turned into a very rewarding experience overall.

I also have a website: www.anthonypaolucci.webs.com

[Brenda]

Hello Everyone!!! I have just joined this site and am very excited to be part of it. I am an multi-award winning pre-teen, young adult author. I have also written and published three children's picture books. I am currently writing my second YA novel. I look forward to our discussions and advice we may share with each other. My website is www.BrendaHasseBooks.com

[Frances]

Hi, I've just found this group. I'm the author of Bad Moon Rising (a crime/thriller). I'll try to take part in as many discussions as possible.

[Silvia]

I'm a longtime historical researcher, newspaper columnist, and author of more than a dozen books. After decades of work for individuals, businesses, and governments, my life took a new turn in 1996, when I stumbled upon the gravestone of a Jane Doe––a murder victim from 1954. A few years later, I applied my research skills to both old-fashioned detective work and the power of the internet by entering into a partnership with my local sheriff and with forensic experts of the Vidocq Society to successfully determine the young woman’s identity. I chronicled our work in "Someone’s Daughter: In Search of Justice for Jane Doe."
In 2008, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office gave me a Sheriff’s Commendation Award for doing the “lion’s share of the research” on the Jane Doe case. Two years later, the Vidocq Society presented me with its Medal of Honor.
While continuing to volunteer for the Sheriff’s Office, I'm now an associate member of the Vidocq Society, a volunteer in the Detectives Section of the Boulder Police Department, a NamUs Academy graduate, and a NamUs instructor in classes sponsored by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation–– working with colleagues all over the country. I wrote "Cold Case Research: Resources for Unidentified, Missing, and Cold Homicide Cases" in order to aid other investigators as they grapple with cold cases of their own.

[Saul]

I'm an SF author and have published my first spec fiction novel, Freedom Club, with Hotspur Publishing.
Besides having a discussion about my book, I'd enjoy having chats with everyone about other great works of SF. I'm a big fan of New Wave SF written in the 60s and 70s, but I also love modern writers like China Mieville. Anyway, happy to be part of this group and look forward to meeting you all.

[VLynch]

Hi, I have been very absent from Goodreads for the past few months but I am hoping to catch up on my book reviews and reconnect with Friends. So hello to all, and forgive me for my long absence. For those who do not know me I am a middle aged homebody who loves to read.

Hello! My name is Daniel Silverman and I am new to this group. I am an avid reader of science-fiction and fantasy literature and have recently published my first novel, which is due out in about a week or two (just waiting to approve the final galley copy). As you might guess, I am very excited! I am also an artist.

I am looking forward to getting to know the people of this group as I am able to participate!

Thanks! :)

[Nonankie]

I'm Nonankie. I've been reading since I was a kid and grew up loving reading books and novels even more. I started to like writing at a later age, though. In 2005 I started writing and became in love with writing ever since. I published a small writing piece and hope to publish my own novels in the near future.

[Kate]

I'm Kate, I'm in Adelaide, Australia.I write books that are romance with a bit of mystery and a dash of adventure. I have three books, two of which are on Goodreads - 'Inheritance' and 'An Independent Woman'and I'm just about to add the third, 'A Liberated Woman'. I've also had a few short stories in an antholgy, but I prefer to write novels as I like to have the time to really get into developing my characters. More on my website at www.kateloveday.com if you're interested.
I am looking forward to being a member of the group.

[Melissa]

Hi I'm Melissa, I'm a geologist working in the environmental field so I do lots of technical wrtiting. I have loved reading for ever and read a lot. I'd like to try my hand at creative writting, but its a little hard transitioning from the factual dry writting I normally do. Finding time is also a challenge with all the hobbies I already have plus active children who always need to go somewhere! I'm looking forward learing as much as I can here.

Hello all, I'm Mary Catherine and I write fiction. I just discovered Goodreads and I'm excited to be here. I read everything from biography to fantasy. I have a few things in the works; I'm currently editing a novel and writing a novella. Hopefully I will finish those soon. This seems like a great community and I can't wait to delve deeper.

[Patsy]

Hi, I've just joined the group. I'm a writer and a reader.

My first novel was published just a few weeks ago - it's romance with a touch of crime.

I read lots of genres - romance and crime, of course, but also historical, action, thriller, sci-fi - anything that looks like it might be entertaining.
