I'm not Amy. The "A" stands for Anita.

[Toni]

Sorry about that Anita.

Toni wrote: "Sorry about that Anita."

No problem, using the initials can make it confusing.

Hi peeps,
I'm Lucy (obvious, eh?) I'm an author but also a reader or all sorts. Love to read and review, but I'll always be hones when reviewing. If I like, I'll say so and shout it out to the world. If I think there's all sorts amiss in a book, I'll mail the author and tell them. Offer advice on how and what could be improved before just posting a review which would give the book and author a less favourable review.
I'm of the opinion that it's better to give someone a heads up and the chance to correct than slag someone's work off.
As a writer I write all sorts. Have been published trad and now go the self route, which is immensely satisfying. I'm a control freak. :-)
Anyways, I also blog and invite all to submit their guest posts through my blog as well as requests to review. I also love to help promote authors and their work.
To make a long story short, I love to interact and all that has to do with words.

Hi Lucy, and welcome to the group.

Thanks!
Happy reading and sharing our reviews I guess. :-)

[Susanne]

Hello everybody,

I am Susanne and I am living in Germany. I have been an avid reader since childhood and I read nearly everything. Well, nearly. Not so much romance and I my love affair with scifi was 20 years ago.

In germany I am running a blog featuring free and bargain english books for German readers. And at the moment I am helping some German authors who had their books translated into english with finding reviewers and promoting their books.

Looking forward knowing you all!

Susanne

Hello all!

My name's Garrett and I'm a writer, usually of creative nonfiction and literary fiction. I tend to read the same things, mostly to dissect them for technique. I'm also a nonfiction editor of a literary magazine and hope I can one day support myself off of words. Looking forward to interacting with everyone!

Hi Garrett, welcome to the group. Out of interest what does creative non-fiction cover?

[S.K.]

Hi my name is Samantha! I'm a writer from Australia. After 3 months of struggling with an agent to avoid making my book YA, I've gone on and self-published and it's so bloody exciting I could cry! It's called The Marked Ones and it's a paranormal romance trilogy about mermaids.
I've just gone through THE most exciting two weeks of my life-from terrific sales to newspaper write-ups and an intimate writer's festival with two established authors...and now I'm starting to get fan mail and GOOD critical reviews.
I basically look like I've slept with a coat hanger in my mouth :) Would love to hear other people's stories.

Hi Garrett, Welcome. As a nonfiction writer I am curious, what do you consider is the difference between creative nonfiction and fiction?

Welcome Lynne, As a nonfiction writer it is nice to see someone list nonfiction among their interests. Have you listed your books anywhere on goodreads? I am new at poking around and finding books.

[Toni]

Hi Lynne welcome to the group.

[Antony]

Hi everyone - I've added a post to the author's sections but wanted to introduce myself here as well. I am a Canadian living and writing in rural New Zealand.

I have joined the group as a writer - I have just written and published my first novel, "Redeeming Brother Murrihy: The River To Hiruharama" (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...)

I also love to read fiction and enjoy talking about the writing process. I teach Secondary English - but I am very aware of the line between analysing books in a way that enhances appreciation and analysing them in ways that kill the fun.

Cheers.

Hello, Anthony, fellow Canuck, and welcome to the group.

[S.K.]

Hi Antony and A.F ! :)

[Antony]

Hi S.K. :)

[Toni]

Hi Anthony, whereabouts in NZ do you live? I have been there 3 times and loved it. I am also a writer and have published 3 books on Amazon kindle.

[Antony]

Hi Toni - I live in Taumarunui, north-west of Lake Taupo and near the mountains.

[Toni]

Hi Anthony I remember it well. I bought a great hat from there - labelled as an Australian bush hat - which I am wearing a lot at the moment during the heat wave in the UK. Hard to imagine a heat wave in the UK -but there you are.

[S.K.]

I live in the most tropical part of Australia and I'm wearing 2 jumpers, it's that cold!

[Toni]

Of course - Southern Hemisphere - with amazing skies! Normally cold in the UK at the moment (even though it's meant to be summer). Totally unusual to have a heat wave in the UK.

[S.K.]

Totally unusual for us to be actually cold in the winter! It was hot last week-everyone thought the 'snap' had come and gone. Apparently not.

[Toni]

And in the UK we were told it would rain all through the summer - which we believed because that is so normal - seems that they were wrong - fortunately!

Hey-O Everybody who takes a gander upon this post!
My name is Jeffrey Clemmons, and I am new young novelist (very young ^^) and I wrote the book The Maze Games, and I am currently working on it's sequel, the Dungeon of Chaos. There are to be 5 books in the series, and just so you know, my publisher is working on the eBook right now.

Hi Happy to talk about ebook marketing and share any ideas. Toni"Hi K, just posting ideas as and when: Setting up a really good website seems to be a priority but you probably know that already. Other than that it seems to be a case of going on as many threads as possible. I wonder how effective this is - time will tell and unfortunately there aren't enough hours in the day if you hope to have a life as well! http://tinyurl.com/merwq7w Toni Bunnell
