Annie Seaton | 8 comments Hi
I'm Annie Seaton, from the beautiful mid-north coast of New South Wales and new to the group. I achieved my lifelong dream of writing my first book two and a half years ago when I retired from teaching. Life has never been so busy! Since then I have written, and had seven books published and have another four contracted by the fabulous Entangled Publishing! I have also dipped my toe in the self publishing pond. My debut novel was on Amazon best seller lists in the US and UK for the first year of publication. I have shared my knowledge of how to establish your brand via social media in a little promotional book I have written as a thank you to the fabulous supportive writing community.
I am very excited as the sequel to my best seller will be released on 10 June.I am donating all pre-order royalties to breast cancer research. You can find me on Goodreads at

Welcome Annie, lovely to have you with us:) I'm glad to see you have made your own thread in the Author section, as having it there means we will all see it...having it here means it would be lost in amongst all our lovely new peeps!

Sharon | 5509 comments Hi Everyone my name is Sharon and I live in Melbourne. I joined the group a couple of weeks ago. I love to read whenever I get a chance. I mostly read chick-lit, true stories and I really enjoy reading Aussie authors. Since joining I must say I don't read my face book as much as I enjoy this much more. Happy Reading everyone.

Robyn (teamoyeniyi) | 10 comments Thank you everyone! I've been a member of Goodreads for some time, but have to say it took a while for me to become active.

I may not be as active a member as some, as I have 4 children, a job, a husband and a house to run! I will be here from time to time!

Jan (janmerry) | 68 comments Hello Aussie Readers. I'm delighted to join your group because I'm living in London at the moment and really miss hearing about what is going on in the Aus Lit Scene.
I'm a writer of fiction and non-fiction and I find that my writing is influenced greatly by Australia and its values and ideas, Aus literature and the sense of place I have whenever I'm there.
I love reading Australian authors.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Welcome!

Marc Lane | 3 comments Hi everyone, I'm an Aussie and I've been living in London these last three years, which has allowed me to finally indulge my passion and write books. I've published two serious historical fiction books and I'm working on some light romantic fiction in time for the (Northern) summer.
