Thank you, A.F., for the welcome and for the group!

[Sumi]

I have a question about self-publishing a collection of essays, and can't really find an appropriate thread. Could someone please direct me to a place where I won't be diverting the conversation? Thanks for your help.

[Jamie]

Hello all!

My name is Jamie Sheffield, and I'm both a reader and an author. I read voraciously, but only recently published my first book, "Here Be Monsters".

When I'm not reading or writing, I'm a Special Education Teacher in the Adirondack Park in Northern New York. I live in a small house in the woods with my wife and son and 2 rescue dogs (Miles and Puck). My favorite things to do include camping and canoeing and cooking (along with lots of other things that don't begin with the letter 'C').

If you visit my GoodReads Author page, or my website, you can find out more about me and/or my book, and even download the first 2 chapters for FREE.

Thanks,

Jamie

[Marie]

Hi, I'm Marie,

Author and reader. I'm published by Accent press and although my first two books were humorous memoirs about how to bring up a troublesome family plus accident prone pooch on a narrow boat, my latest endeavor is firmly settled in the Fantasy genre and I have to admit I had great fun writing it.

My name is Stacey T. Hunt, and I am an author! I currently have four ebooks out, which will soon be released in paperback. I can't wait for you all to read them!
In preparation for the paperback release of my first ebook, The Adventure Begins, I'll be selling it for FREE on Smashwords for a limited time!
If you guys could stop by and check it out, maybe review it on Goodreads, that would really help me out a lot:)

GENRES: Science fiction, Fantasy, Action-adventure

DESCRIPTION: Meldrick, the Master of Death, has gathered to him four crowns - the means by which he will be able to rule the world as the lands each crown belongs to slowly falls into darkness without its power source. All he lacks is the destruction of the legendary trinity of the chosen ones, prophesied to protect the world. From him.
In the tropical paradise known as Somerton Island, young Kale Dillans finds himself faced with an immense task, as the title of the Chosen One Leader is given to him. He must leave his home and make a perilous journey with the rest of the chosen ones, Elison Hart and Tyson Smith, across the broken lands of the shattered planet to return peace to the world eventually leading them straight to the territories of the Master of Death. There they must stop Meldrick forever and foil the master in his evil purpose.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17... I am P.J Roscoe - author of two novels - Echoes and Freya's Child - both can be found on Goodreads and Amazon/Kindle.
I am currently putting together a book of Faerie stories I wrote for my daughter years ago and researching my third novel.
All my hard work is slowly paying off - Echoes received an Honourable Mention in the New England Book Festival Dec 2012 and received a Five star review from Readers Favourite. So, if you enjoy supernatural/historical fiction intermingled with fact, then please take a peep at my books and let me know what you think. xx

[Warneke]

Hello! My husband & I are “Warneke Reading” and we are super excited to be a part of Goodreads!! Our passion for reading has led us to begin a business of proofreading. We love books! Some of our favorites are: The Lord of the Rings series and the original Dune series. My husband loves Terry Brooks and Tim Dorsey. I’m a huge fan of Charlaine Harris and Michael Crichton. We both love almost any genre, but probably have read more in fantasy and scifi. I also love classic writers like Austen and Dickens. And my husband enjoys graphic novels like Watchmen.
Warneke Reading is a small proofreading company based in Minnesota. Currently focusing on the Indie writer crowd, we are excited to help these talented artists realize their dreams. Please see our website for more info: www.warnekereading.com
