Hallo Carmel. Not sure if you are taking fiction or no-fiction names and independent or mainstream authors, or all of the above. Can think of a couple to add. Although, I am not sure if one has his own website yet. Do I email the detail to you?
There is me too: www.pruebatten.com (Author of The Stumpwork Robe, The Last Stitch and A Thousand Glass Flowers)

[Prue]

Thanks Carmel. I'll email them direct. One is already a contributing member of Goodreads, the other and newer author isn't, so I'll encourage him to join up and join groups. Goodreads is on of the most enlightening forums on the web. I love all the discussions from reader AND writer.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Spiro and Prue:) Lovely to have you with us!

[Spiro]

Hi Carmel and Brenda,

Thanks for the welcome, pleased to be here amongst Australian authors and readers, must be the most friendliest group on Goodreads :)

And thanks also for the include on the author's list, a great idea. The links you provided Carmel will help me find my way around.

I'll do a more formal introduction on the right thread when a moment pops up. Keep up the good work.

Cheers
Spiro

Ya I was lucky with this one, it appeared in my mailbox from PanMcMillan with no warning. I am a fan of Moriarty so I was thrilled :)

For anyone who is waiting for Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves by Matthew Reilly Big W have it for $21.48 and it's hardcover. I'm sad cos I want paperback, so I'll have to wait:(

[Kora]

Brenda, I went to the Scarecrow book launch on Wednesday night, it was lots of fun! :D I bought the book there but had to leave straight after, so yesterday I knocked off work early and went to Berkeleouw to get it signed :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh you lucky thing K!!! Glad you were able to get it signed..let me know what you think when you get to it:)

[Kora]

Brenda, I really liked it - it was (of course) another fast-paced action-packed Scarecrow book, which is what you would expect. *whispers: but not as good as the last one, for me that would be really hard to beat*

Have you checked your library, you would think they would have it?

Wow! You've read it already!!!! The library would probably have it, but I want my own copy, and I don't want hardcover...so I'll have to wait till it comes out in paperback:(

Glad you enjoyed it though:)

[Kora]

How long til the paperback?

G'day everyone, you all know I have just released my 3rd book & as a limited offer, those who purchase either my colour version or black & white version from Amazon then have the book posted to my address, I will personally sign it for you & cover the postage cost to where you live.

Please feel free to check my book on the bookshelf & if you are interested pm me for details.

Dave.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

SAD FACE

I found it near impossible to fit my response in 25 words or less!

[Michael]

I've not read any Haruki Murakami :(

[Graham]

He's not for everyone KL, it seems you either love him or hate him

Never enough room and it's hard to cut it down!

[Helene]

Not sure if this is the right forum for it but David Delaney has just released a new book of Aussie Bush poems called Out of Australia. He's visiting my blog talking about writing bush poems and his new book.

I have put it on my 'to read' list Carmel, thanks. Sounds like an extremely rivetting, yet devastating 'must read'.
