Loretta, please go to the Author Spotlight section to promote your work. You can make your own thread, that way it will be seen by all. Here it will be lost in the crowd:)

Craig | 10 comments G'day all!

I thought I would join this group as I spent two years in your fine country (hooray for Melbourne!) and truly love the Aussie spirit and people. I'm originally a Brit, now living in Canada (working my way around the commonwealth) I'm 32, an avid reader and occasional writer. Looking forward to lots of interesting discussions.

J.B. McCauley (The_King_Of_Sunday_Morning) | 2 comments HI All

My name is J B Mccauley and I am a retired Music Journalist / Reporter living on the NSW SOuth Coast. In a shameless attempt to help promote my latest novel The King of Sunday Morning which is set in beautiful Sydney, I would like to make friends within this group to help spread the word about this antipoedean Novel lol

Hope you are all enjoying the Winter sunshine (in SYdney at least)

Welcome to the group JB and I hope you enjoy it here.

We are more than happy for Authors to promote their books but could you please promote it in the Aussie Authors Spotlight.

Have you set up your own thread yet? if not you are welcome to do so. Here's the link:

Susan (susan04) | 3 comments Hello! I'm Susan and am pleased to have found this group. I work in education although I don't teach or lecture anymore, I have an administration role that I am really enjoying. I have two cats and my favourite pastime is reading with a cat nearby.

Lia (hydeseek) | 19 comments Hello all. Just a quick intro as I have joined the winter reading challenge. I am a bad sleeper which makes me a prolific reader ;-)
I live in Tamworth and get most of my books from the library. We have a great library with great staff. I love good reads for opening my eyes to books I otherwise would not know about.
Looking forward to participating in this challenge. Especially the books outside my normal choices such as the thriller/suspense book.

(I am really lazy and usually just sign L as I find "Lia" way too long!)

message 4182: by Donna (new)

Donna Gallagher (donnag63) Hi Everyone,
I joined this group a while back but neglected to introduce myself. My name is Donna Gallagher and I'm from Sydney. I'm a wife, mother, sister, aunt, rugby league fanatic, reader and author. I'm also addicted to social media and just about anything else that can distract me from doing what I should be doing. The day I discovered ebooks was a great day, now I don't have to hide books just credit card statements!
Cheers,
Donna

Dale Harcombe | 6949 comments At least you got the right colurs Lia even in the wrong code LOL. I'm red and white too but AFL


message 4187: by Lia (new)

Lia (hydeseek) | 19 comments Ah Dale, I am a Swans fan too - when I lived in the riverina you needed an AFL team, so it was an easy transition to stick with the red and white.
sadly my husband and son are Collingwood fans!

Hi Lia - I was bought up a bulldogs supporter, my sister brainwashed me. Lol! Now I go for the warriors and the reason for that is a story in itself.

Hey Lia, me too - chronic insomniac. I'm always up from about 3am; lonesome time of the morning but good time to read!
