Hi I'm Sharon,While a GR member for several years, I've never had the courage to take part in any discussions or groups.
A second-hand bookseller with an online bookstore, I'm based in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia.
I'm also a frequent 'wild book releaser' via Bookcrossing.
I hope to take part in some challenges and monthly reads.
Sharon is also an amazingly talented arist.... Just had to include that so you don't undersell yourself hon, LOL!

Welcome to the group Naomi - nice to meet you.
Hi Naomi welcome to the best group on GR
Hi. I'm a SF&F Australian author who's been writing for decades, without much success until recently. 'Nightfall', Book 1 in the Clemhorn trilogy came out in February and Zmok Books have now committed to the remaining two books. I've also got another three Middle-Grade books coming out in early 2020 with Peasantry Press.I'm also the Principal of Hague Publishing (where I publish other people's SF&F) and wearing that hat am also a Goodreads Librarian (a useful ability for a publisher).
After leaving the WA Public Service just over a year ago I've been trying to be a full-time writer and editor but life (and grand-kids) keeps on getting in the way. Still - I've got a loft for writing in, a computer to write on, and a supportive family and am producing output.
And talking about life, I have just read 'Sweep of the Blade' by Ilona Andrews, four times over the last week. Love it! Its such a fun read.
I'm also presently reading a manuscript (the White Citadel) by Ruth Fox, an Australian Goodreads author. I just love her style. After that a further eight submissions are waiting me in my in-tray.
I look forward to participating in future discussions.
Andrew
Hi Andrew! You seem to have a lot of work to catch up on. Godd thing that you have retired, lol! I will look forward to reading more from you. Welcome to the group, Joss
