Welcome to the group BD, lovely to have you here.

[Nicki]

Hi

My name is Nicola and I am originally from England but now live in Adelaide (since 2007) with my Australian fiance. We get married later this year. I found this group when my friend Sarah mentioned my book on here and thought I'd join.

I have always loved reading and writing and in the last few months I finally realised my dream. My first e-book (a short story) came out last month and my second e-book (a novella) came out just yesterday.

I look forward to getting to know everyone on here and seeing what everyone is reading!

Hi BD! I've actually seen your profile around and was wondering whether to invite you to join but I figured you'd be too busy with moderating your 2 groups. Sounds like you get lots of fun out of goodreads like me and thanks for joining Aussie Readers. Any suggestions are always welcome!!:)

Hi everyone and thanks for the welcome comments - yes Awaken to the Night is my book. My new piece, Dragon's Heart, just came out....it should be up on Amazon (and then on here) in the next few days.

[Tracey]

Can't believe how many new people there are - welcome one and all.

I'll kind of re-introduce myself seeing as I've been MIA in the hospital for the past few months.
I'm Trace, I write, I read and at the moment can't do much more than that. Still have to spend six weeks in isolation after the bone marrow transplant so I'll be around a bit more often ;)

[[deleted user]]

All the best Tracey, I suppose you are probably sick of hearing it, but, she'll be right eh!

Tracey - I actually read an article over the weekend about a man who had a bone marrow transplant some years ago and is doing pretty well. So keep your chin up!

I hope your donor was closer than his - his marrow had to come to Oz from England! The mind boggles.

Read lots, write as much as you want, and smell the roses.

[Ellen]

So, I'm Ellen. Hi. I'm currently studying, i love reading and get SO incredibly excited when Australia is a stop on an authors book release tour! I'm into the paranormal, fantasy stories. I'm currently reading Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris, wether i like it or not is still undecided and I have to say i'm really excited to find this group!

Great to hear from you again Tracey! I thought something was up when we hadn't heard from you for a while. Hope the operation wasn't too draining and that you've got a lot more energy now since the transplant. Six weeks in isolation hey!! At least you'll be able to catch up on some reading/writing while you're stuck in hospital.:)

Hello Sarah - fancy meeting you here *wink* I actually found it as I got a message to say my book had been mentioned on here and I guessed it was you! (;o)

I hope you'll enjoy Dragon's Heart!

[Mandapanda]

David you're looking a bit debonair in that photo!;) Still hard at work with the clean up?

[[deleted user]]

Why thank you young Mandy (-: I've done all I'm going to do regarding cleaning up, the pile on the footpath is now the councils job, totally exhausted though, could do with a couple of weeks in the bush but, that's not going to happen.....yet!

I agree with Carmel, David, you sure have earned a beer or 3! You and all those poor people in Q'ld..will it ever be over for you!

[[deleted user]]

Carmel, still way to warm for flannies (-:

Brenda, just enjoyed a couple, now off to bed. (-: & the season is not over yet by a long shot.

Brenda, there is a low up here that could form today into a cyclone, but, the experts say is moving away from the coast, though, as we all know this could change at the drop of a hat.

I'm sorry to hear how ill you've been, Tracy. You sound as if you have really been through the mill. I hope you are on the way to recovery and good health. Laurel

I do so hope it goes out to sea...I think the season of cyclones should be over by now...Yasi was enough for the next few years! We are cruising at the end of April, and I HOPE there are no cyclones in the vicinity then...:(

Thanks :D - I'm counting on it!

[Tracey]

Warm welcome to our newcomers - you'll find plenty to chat about here as well as some amazing new books to discover.

To everyone else - thanks so much for all your thoughts, prayers etc. I'm really starting to feel a lot better since the bone marrow transplant. The match was perfect from my eldest niece J who is also recovering nicely. I've decided to look at the six weeks as a blessing in disguise - I can work, talk online, get three meals a day I don't have to cook and I don't even have to make my bed ;)

[Rosanne]

I have already been introduced here, I think, but I have been working so hard with my writing I haven't had time for much else. I've put together a small collection of a novella and four bonus short stories together, which will soon be available on Amazon. I created it using CreateSpace, which was a very pleasant experience, since I have a thing for filling in forms.
It's called Vision or Delusion and other stories, and you can see the preview here:

https://www.createspace.com/Preview/1...

The layout in the preview is nothing like it looks in the book, so it's the tone and content, just the actual writing, that you are suppose to comment on. I hope some of you will go on over and give a fellow Aussie's work a look and a star.

Great attitude, Tracey....the 3 meals, no cooking, no dishes and no bed making is a definite PLUS!! :D

[Kim]

Hi all. I joined GR late last year and this group a few weeks ago. I live in the inner west of Sydney and always have piles of books waiting to be read. I read quite a bit of crime fiction, as well as literary fiction and biography and lots else besides. I'm not a big science fiction fan, although my husband more than makes up for me in that department! If I could only take one book to a desert island it would be Jane Austen's Persuasion. However, I hope I never have to go to a desert island with only one book! I work as a lawyer and have three adult kids. I look forward to following discussions in this group.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Huge welcome, Kim...lovely to have you with us..:) I love crime fiction as well..:)

[Mandapanda]

Hi Kim! Welcome to the group. Hope you enjoy looking around the discussions. Join in whenever you feel like it.:)

[Helene]

Hi guys, I think I joined Aussie Readers awhile ago but haven't dropped by the group discussion. I'm a pilot, a reader and a writer who lives in north Queensland. I love romantic suspense but read across all genres. Give me a good story and I'm happy!

Love reading the reviews on Goodreads so keep them coming :)

[Gerry]

Welcome all those of new to this group!

Hi Helene, a very big welcome. LOVE your first book, Wings of Fear, formerly BORDER WATCH, and am actually looking to purchase Shattered Sky tomorrow! Can't wait to read it...:)

[Neko]

Hi Kim- Crime fiction is great! I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi books either.

Hey Helene, Woah a pilot! :O

[[deleted user]]

G'day Kim & G'day Helen waving to Helen LOL!

[Helene]

Thanks Brenda, hope you enjoy Shattered Sky :)

Hi Carmel and Kim, thanks for the warm welcome!

Hey David, looking forward to making it the TW meeting on Saturday.
