Introducing Yourself

I published my first novel The Witchlings-Midnight curse 4 weeks ago ( the single most nerve wracking time of my life). I have just finished the first copy of book 2 in the series and was wondering is it important to refresh peoples memory and make references of what happened in book 1. book 2 is a direct follow on and i dont want to bore people with facts they have already read.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's a tricky balance :-)

My name is R.A.R. Clouston an I am the author of a number of books -The most recent is The covenant Within. It is a unique mystery exploring Genetic Memory. What if all the memories of your familial past is stored in your DNA and can be tapped into? Sounds improbable? It is actually being studied by scientist around the world! Imagine being able to witness events as they happen back to events as important as the Crucifixion!

Not sure if this is where i post this.
I'm in need of an editor and 2 beta readers for my new novel. It's a paranormal, fantasy romance for young adults and around 30,000 words long. If anyone can help I would be really grateful.
Thanks
Amanda

I'm Charlotte K Omillin, the author of the Adventures of Zeppi series.
The first book of the series is now available on amazon.com/author/ckomillin
Blurb The Adventures of Zeppi series
A penguin named Zeppi makes a boy’s wish for a special friend come true.
When young Alesdor finds Zeppi amongst the flowers in the garden, they adopt
each other and grow in The Adventures of Zeppi series.
Zeppi and his friend have fun and discover a lot about friendship,
tolerance and generosity. As Zeppi adapts to his new life with
ecological-minded Alesdor, he will learn about taking care of the planet too.
New Friends – Book 1
When Zeppi’s cage falls off a truck, he’s found by
a kind boy named Alesdor, who teaches him that
compost piles are plant food and not penguin food.

Being an Indie Author is certainly hard work, and I hate IT and sales. Setting up a website, blog, getting reviews...Still trying to get time to write. I've been doing exchange reviews, etc (reading some excellent books, one seems to me a potential classic even).
I've got a query about Createspace, I'll make it a new topic.


Anyway, Spirians are Angels who live among humans. They are gifted, strong, and can have fiery tempers. These are non-graphical romance with no foul language so they are appropriate for a general audience.
Like myself, the main character is blind, middle-aged, and has a bit of a gypsy soul (barefoot and carefree). I welcome you all into my realm where anything is possible. http://Rowena-Portch.com

I've just released my third book, EMBRACED.
Against all logic, Abby believes the clickings in the fillings of her teeth are messages from aliens. She's right.
One reader says, "Jones just keeps getting better and better." What a great compliment.

I'm Elanor (E. H. Kindred, as my writing name), and I write YA fantasy. My second book, Bound By Blood, will be out in October. I look forward to chatting and swapping stories with other members of the group.

I'm Xavier Edwards, an Erotica and Erotic Romance author from the wide brown land down under. I've been writing for myself or many years and finally took the plunge into being published in April 2012.
An avid reader, my library covers most genres and is constantly being overhauled to make room for the new books I am reading. To this end, the introduction of ebooks has been a lifesaver.
I've spent my entire life being surrounded by women and have gained a wonderful appreciation for some of the things that make the female libido tick (and many of the things that don't).
At the moment I am happy exploring the different types of erotica subgenres and will probably end up writing works that fit into most of them at some point in time.
I'm looking forward to seeing what participation in this group will do for my writing and what I can do for the group.

My name is Megan Cashman and I published my first book last month. I intend to write urban fantasy, contemporary, historical fiction and maybe some sci-fi in the future.
I'm looking forward to interacting with all of you!

I'm Aria Grace. I'm brand new to writing and have just published a few erotica shorts. I think I'm going to put the first title in the KDP Select program to give that a whirl. The others will probably stay out for now.

I would love to meet other Authors in my genre of YA Romance, because right now I am flying solo and it is a little scary :)

Greta - I'm not a mod in here, but I know what it means to people to at least be greeted by the regulars when they join a new group - it goes a long way to making it feel like home.
