List of Australian Authors who are members of Goodreads

[Lia]

Thanks so much, Mandy! Yes, The Fortunes of Ruby White is general fiction, but probably more humour than thriller. (Plus a bit of romance... ) :-)

[Jenny]

That makes you an Ausse to me, Geoff.

[Jenny]

I'm waiting on my copy of, The Fortunes of Ruby White to arrive from Booktopia. Looks like an entertaining read! Didn't realise it had been penned by a fellow Aussie. Well done.

[Lia]

Wow! Thanks, Jenny! I hope you like it. :-)

[Jenny]

I'm sure I will, Lia. I've had my eye on it for a while, but there were so many on my 'to buy'list. Lately, I've read a few too many deep and meaningfuls and so I'm now ready for something a bit lighter. Ruby sounds perfect.

You are not the only one, Anna. I've given up! Chasing my tail is too time wasting.
Cheers,

My pleasure Justin. The book looks great. The link I put in is the one to your Goodreads Author page so you might want to have a play with that when you get time to make it more fun for visitors. I know I always love reading the author bios which are sometimes really clever and hilarious.:) I edited your page and added your website.

[Justin]

Thanks Mandy
Ummm, Mandy, can you please give me the url to my Goodreads Author page. I'm mystified by the navigation on this site.
Thanks
Justin

[Mandapanda]

That's normal!:) It's a bit daunting at first. Someone must have added your book to Goodreads and because the author name was one that Goodreads didn't recognise, it created a new author page for J.J. South. Here is the link: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

If you go back to the first message in this thread you'll see a link to the Goodreads Author Program which will tell you a lot about being an author on Goodreads.

Good Luck!

Hi Mandy thanks for adding me to the list. I just wondered why I have (Aka Tony) added to Cary Stone?

Kind regards
Tony"

Well most authors who talk in the group have the same name as their author name. I thought it would be nice to know that Cary Stone is our one and only Tony! But it's no problem at all if you'd like to juat have your author name.:)

[Tony]

Our one and only Tony! well I am flattered in a funny kinda way...I'll go with Lt Ripely's decision who am I to argue...It would be 'Alien' to be any other way!!!!!

[Sophie]

Hi Mandy...
my first novel "40 Something" has been published in September 2010. The contemporary fiction, about twelve friends, is set in Melbourne where I've been living for the past 30 years.
I also write for theatre, with two plays already been performed: "Albatross" at the NGV in June 2009 and "Benjamin Mary" at Gasworks Theatre in May 2010.
It would be nice to be part of this exciting group of committed Aussie writers!

Ciao,
Pasquale M Palmieri

[Mandapanda]

@ Liz - Editor sounds good to me!

@ Pasquale - Hi Pasquale, You've been a member of our group for a while now, sorry I should have added your name already!:)

[Rosanne]

I have been on your list for some time, I think... am I right?

I have great news today. My special edition paperback version of 'Vision or Delusion and other stories' is out on Amazon.com today. And it started selling right away: four copies in the first two hours. (It's because I had fans waiting for the paperback, no surprises really.)

I am really pleased with the way things are going. It's a small book, but it contains four bonus short stories that I am really proud of, because they are romantic in a non-soppy way. Two of the protagonists are men, too - so there's something for everyone.

There's a page on my website all about this new book, so come and have a look before you buy.

That's great Rosanne..congratulations! I just read the first chapter, it sounds very intriguing! I'll be following up on your new release! :)

Thanks Carmel and Iris. I'm hoping to put a few short stories on the blog in the coming months and hopefully later this year have my first novel out. As long as I don't get distracted - Ooo a penny.

I've added your name H.M. Welcome to the group!

Just in general for any authors looking at this thread please feel free to add your books to our Aussie Readers group bookshelf (which features only books by Aussie authors or books set in Australia).

I used to add the books of every new Aussie author I met but since the group is getting so much bigger I miss out at times. In our discussions we (the mods) often refer people to our bookshelf to find books to read. Click here to get to the bookshelf.
