[Nihar]

Hi! It's really nice to meet all of you! My name is Nihar Suthar and I'm an author, traveling around the world to cover international stories. Earlier last year, I released The Corridor of Uncertainty: How Cricket Mended a Torn Nation and also went on a 3 month-long book tour. It was an amazing experience writing the book. I got several death threats while writing it too!

I look forward to connecting with all of you. I love writing and reading :)

[Daina]

Hi!
I have recently published a nonfiction book "Ten Cultures, Twenty Lives: Refugee Life Stories" that is the result of interviews with former refugees from ten different cultures/countries, including Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Cuba, Iraq, Bhutan, Liberia. "1972 Burundians" and Banyamulenge Tutsis are featured as distinct cultural groups as well. As I used to work in a refugee resettlement organization for quite a long time, I know all storytellers personally, and I have added essays about resettlement work and short country introductions.
It is quite a unique book because life stories are individual, but at the same time, representative of the group. My main reward is that beside other readers, people from the featured ethnic backgrounds find it an accurate description of their lives. And say "Yes, we have to keep this book for our children to read!"
Hope some of you will enjoy reading! Ten Cultures, Twenty Lives: Refugee Life Stories

[Jill]

Hi Daina, your book sounds fascinating. I just bought it and am really looking forward to reading it.

Turning Left Around the WorldHi
my wife and I took time out to travel the world, but where do we start?
We put a map up on the office wall and put pins in the places we had always wanted to visit:
South America, Australasia, the Polynesian Triangle, Southeast Asia, China and Japan was the result - 15 countries in 10 months
The book of the adventure 'Turning Left Around the World' recounts the adventure, the sights, the laughs...and the tears

[Ann]

Hello, I am Ann from Ukraine who wrote a book about her country. Writing a book has been my dream, particularly during my teenage years. I started to scribble down my romantic thoughts on paper while at school, where a writing competition more or less changed my life. My entry was an essay on the book Little Zaches Called Cinnabar, a German novel written by E.T.A. Hoffmann.

[Nancy]

I am a Canadian author who has lived in Nigeria, Oman, Switzerland and Australia. A few years ago, I decided to give up my career in finance and instead write about the most impactful travel destinations away from tourist crowds. My second book came out in late 2018.

[Gertraude]

I am Gertraude Roth Li, born in Germany and now living in the US. In my younger years I loved to travel the world, but even more than travel I loved to live in a foreign culture. My book is about discovering deeper cultural values which, especially if they conflict with our own, help us learn a lot about others, but even more about who we are ourselves. My book "Lights & Shadows" contrasts American, German and Chinese cultures, all three of which are close to my heart.

Hi,
I'm a travel writer and my most recent book covers the adventures my wife and I had walking the Camino de Santiago from Portugal to Spain.
I've targeted this book to a niche audience, which is people who may think themselves too old or physically unfit to handle the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
Relax! My wife and I had our own issues of age (me mid-60s, her late 50s) and health (arthritis for me, diabetes, asthma and high blood pressure for her) but we managed to cover the 200 miles from Porto to Santiago without injury -- including zero blisters. As I lay out in great detail in the book, it's all a matter of planning around your limitations and walking at a pace that's appropriate for you. Saunter don't sprint. If we could do it, so can you.

[Ian]

I'm Ian Thewlis and Arabian Night Patrol is a political thriller set on a desert oil camp in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War and genesis of the War on Terror. Fighter jets scream overhead, air raid sirens blare over the call of the muezzin, and duels between Scud and Patriot missiles light up the night sky. My novel explores the conflicting perspectives and loyalties of Western and Arab workers - a cautious British engineer, a Saudi detective, a young Islamic extremist, an American security boss and his artist wife - under the pressures of war and threat of terrorism. 'The Middle East is a snake pit,' says Rick, the security boss. 'We can't be Boy Scouts in this war.'

[Peter]

Hi,

I am author of travel story from Bosnia:

It is story about hitch-hiking trip through Bosnia and about country itself, focusing on people, their way of thinking, their hopes, attitudes, beliefs and so on. It is not just travel journal, it is story that tries to reach deep into the very soul of Bosnia and Herzegovina and find out how ordinary people cope with war legacy, what are their views on country future and everyday life.

You can see more about the book:

[Vinnie]

Greetings All,

My name's Vinnie Apicella. I'm happy to be part of this group and appreciate the opportunities available to us here on Goodreads.

I'm a teacher, writer, and entrepreneur living in Beijing for the past several years. I'm pleased to share, I've recently become an official author self-publishing my first book, Escape from America: An Introspective Journey from America into China...



Would love to connect with others, and am happy to accept review requests from anyone interested. In spite of the title, you don't need to be Chinese, American, or have interest in either country to gain something of value.

My “story within a story” is one that I believe can encourage you, whatever your background, and no matter where you are in life, to pursue your passions and keep pushing forward, even when the deck seems stacked against you.

I'm both a reader and writer, probably a 50/50 split. So much of what I do in my day to day profession involves writing, thus I'm creating lesson plans for students, developing coursebooks, tutorials, posts to LinkedIn, and the like; but now I've formally become an author and so am doing quite a lot of writing in my promotional efforts.

Cheers guys, I look forward to interacting here in our group!

[Doug]

Hi folks, I'm a writer in Vermont's Champlain Valley and these are the books I love — fiction especially, and well-told nonfiction too, set in locales and cultures around the world.

Street of Storytellers, my 17th and newest book, is a novel for adult and YA readers set during Christmas week 1984 in Peshawar, the legendary crossroads city by the Khyber Pass in Northwest Pakistan. Its main characters are four young people: the American narrator, an Afghan refugee, and a Pakistani brother and sister.

Released last fall, Street of Storytellers has been named an "Indie Editors Choice" by Kirkus Reviews, and has won the gold medal for YA fiction from the Independent Press Awards, the silver medal for teen fiction from the Benjamin Franklin Awards, second place for all fiction from the IndieReader Discovery Awards, and first place for YA books from the Independent Publishers of New England Book Awards.

I hope you don’t mind my reaching out to you all. I’m not sure if this is the right place to post! Forgive me if I have popped it in the wrong slot!

My debut thriller TAKE ME HOME is due to be published in October 2020 by Orion Publishing and if there’s anyone in the group who is a member of Netgalley you can request it here for review:

https://www.netgalley.co.uk/catalog/b...


What’s the blurb I hear you ask...

TAKE ME HOME

How much would you risk for a child who isn't yours?

An ingenious, taut, global thriller for fans of Linwood Barclay and Harlan Coben...

* * * * * * *

When struggling journalist Harper returns a dress to the shop she bought it from that morning, she sees the same little girl sitting in the exact same place she saw her hours ago.

No one in the shop knows who the girl is.

No desperate parents have contacted mall security to say they've lost their daughter.

And the local police have no new reports of a missing child.

The girl says she misses her mother.

But why is nobody looking for her?

And what if finding her home is the worst thing you could do?

* * * * * * *

From the chilly streets of New York City to the electric blue skies of coastal Florida - this is an emotional, page-turning road trip that follows a trail of theories, all the way to a devastating revelation...

An ingenious thriller with a big hook and twists galore - for fans of Linwood Barclay's No Time For Goodbye and Harlan Coben's Tell No One.

I hope this interests some of you. Would love to hear your thoughts on the book!


Best wishes,

Walk About: Searching for the Epic Life a Guyanese Memoir
INTRODUCTION
It was a cool and pleasant afternoon in Boone, North Carolina in May of 2020 when all of a sudden, I felt inspired to write the story of my life’s journey. The desire to write all of it down has been a heavy burden and I have wanted to do this for a very long time. Many of my American friends have encouraged me over the years to do it, especially when I would share extracts of where I was born and how I lived life in a tiny village called Fyrish on the Northern coast of Guyana in South America. They all found my life exceptionally interesting and were fascinated by the events they didn’t hear every day.
The motivation came when my brother Steve passed away on April 28, 2020 as a result of Covid-19. He was a full gospel Evangelist and pastor of his church and was respected all over the world. This was quite heartbreaking because he had just retired six months prior from the New York Transit after working there for 25 years. Family members tried to justify his death by saying that his “mission” was over. However, I don’t think so because he had so many plans and a vision that was very personal to his well-being. How do we justify death and the dark feelings we suffer? Even with the passing of time, the scar of his death, as well as others in my life, still haunt me. I know we are stronger than death and must face it with full force to live through it and move forward. My mother has been crying every day for months now as I try to console her with words of kindness and encouragement and to experience the goodness of Steve. As I sat down to write my story, I have realized that life is too short. I felt an urgency to share my story and to capture some of the essence of what life was like growing up in a strange land.
I turned 65 on December 10, 2019 and I believe that I had to get to that number in order to feel motivated enough to open my heart, tap into my memory, and just let it fly. I lost my wife to cancer on December 20, 2015 and my father on January 30, 2016. These two incidents also made me realize that I needed to share these thoughts with you, and most importantly, with my two kids and grandchildren. I want them to know who I am and what my journey was like. My son Peter and my daughter Melanie were born in the USA and have never seen my home country. Maybe I was too caught up in the system of working, raising a family, and going to night school to take the time to make that trip. I know that is not a good excuse, but perhaps it is never too late. I made a trip back to Guyana in January of 2019 after being absent for almost 34 years.
A lot had changed in Guyana but the feeling was still the same. The smell of the humid air and the burning heat of the sun awakened my senses as I saw myself as a little boy running in the swamps. I had decided last minute to accompany my brother Oscar on his yearly pilgrimage to the home country. He was quite excited to take me around to the old haunts and to connect with people I barely knew. Old stories surfaced and we reminisced about folks we knew and who had passed away.
I do not consider myself to have the eloquent expressive language of the literary greats, but I will write here in the layman’s language that is easy to read. I tried to encompass my story, touching on different aspects of the social, political, and lifestyle of growing up in a village hidden from the world at large. I even take you on my search for the epic life and how I became a parent; a caregiver; and a musical artist. Our world is changing with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. It is my greatest wish deep in my heart for life to return to normal and to reclaim the freedom to live without a mask.

[Sharon]

Hello Rory! And welcome to the group! What a coincidence... I am also Guyanese and have been a member for many years, but have not posted much as I am too busy writing. Today I just wanted to greet you as a fellow Guyanese and offer my condolences regarding your brother's death. I also have a new novel set in Guyana, which I'd like to introduce to the group, but I'd prefer to leave it for a few days. I'll do that later. For the time being, just hello!

[Sirbu,]

Hi fellow-authors/readers, I have just joined Goodreads and I am still overwhelmed to see so many people who love books! My name is Inna Rothmann and have just published a book with my co-author Irina Sirbu (hence the strange author's account name). We live in different countries so have been writing the book on Skype. We interviewed ten people about their experiences of being expats/migrants during this global lockdown, and turned their interviews into short stories. It's our first collaboration and we are so happy our book Surviving Covid-19 in a Foreign Land is #1 in new releases on Emigration and Immigration. I think this read offers a new perspective on the pandemic and look forward to your feedback. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PCDL8RHSurviving Covid-19 in a Foreign Land: Stories of Expats and Migrants Around the World

[Gina]

Congratulations! I spent 20 years living outside my home country of Australia, and returned with my family just a few months before COVID-19 erupted. I was very thankful to back home during this stressful time. I'm sure many expats will be interested in your book.

All the best!

[A.P.]

Diane and the Group: Greetings and Happy Sunday! This is A.P. Andes here, and I must confess, in part because this is such a gigantic group, and in part because this is new for me and I'm not at all a social media person at all, I seem to be having trouble navigating and finding things.

I posted my introduction on the author page to Diane a week ago, and she wrote a very nice welcome post to me. Then I responded briefly but now I cannot find my post or her response at all! All the others are there/here, including ones that came after, so I wonder if I did something to make my post invisible somehow or if it was taken down for some reason (I honestly don't think this is the case). I'm looking forward to interacting with folks on here, just having a bit of difficulty doing it. Thank you! (It is automatically adding things I post to my "update feed" because that box is checked. I'm just not sure what that means.)

[Lee]

Hi folks, I am Lee. I am the author of 'Slowly Slowly: The Old Way to Everest Base Camp. The blurb from the back of the book is below:

Lee Prescott had twice been thwarted in his lifetime ambition – to see Mount Everest with his own eyes. This was in no way due to lack of planning, preparation or ability on his part. After a decade of procrastination, his partner decided it was time he endeavoured once more, or at least die trying. After all, his life insurance policy was still valid. If this ‘encouragement’ was not enough on its own, Prescott was further inspired to travel to Nepal by the story of the 1953 Everest expedition told in Sir Edmund Hillary’s biography.
So, a questionable decision was made to follow in the footsteps of those first summiteers of the highest point on earth – by trekking the length of the little-used trail from Shivalaya to Everest Base Camp.
Much to Prescott's surprise, it soon became apparent that walking the few miles to his local pub had probably not been the optimal training regime for a month-long trek across the Nepali Himalaya.
Slowly Slowly is the story of a middle-aged man’s intrepid journey through rural Nepal, chronicling the sights, the sounds and the smells – yes, most definitely the smells – and the wonderful people he meets along the way.

The Kindle version of Slowly Slowly is going to be on sale from Friday 29th of January for a week at the bargain-basement price of £1.99 for those discerning literary shoppers who use Amazon.co.uk and $1.99 for those using Amazon.com
I am trying to raise £500 to equip a pathology lab in the Gorka region of Nepal and so all proceeds from the sale are going to Community Action Nepal. I will match every contribution made pound for pound up to the target.
Please encourage your Kindle owning friends and family to pick up a copy and help the healthcare provision for the folks up in the hills.

Hi! I am a Canadian author from the prairies. I write fiction and non fiction ... latest book is Prairie Grass.

[Paul]

Hi everybody! I am a Canadian author originally from Hong Kong. My bilingualism, therefore, is English and Chinese. I have published a nonfiction book about the fateful day in 1997 when the British colonial era came to an end in Hong Kong. The society I grew up in has all but disappeared into the veils of history, but it is the subject of my book Tea Before the Rain. I am planning a Book Giveaway in the near future. Watch for it! In the mean time, check out my author's page here on Goodreads and on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/author/paul.loong

[J.E.]

A bit about myself: In 9th Grade a teacher told me that one day I would read a book that would change my life and she was right. I discovered Hunter S Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and learned how much fun misbehavior could be (I regret nothing). About the same time I read P.J. O'Rourke's "Holidays in Hell" and decided that my hedonist tendencies would benefit from a protracted road trip. So I joined the US Navy and spent several years bar brawling my way across the Far East with a Blood Alcohol Level that often exceeded my IQ (a few regrets there. That hurt.)

My misadventures in the Navy inspired my first three books Tequila Vikings (released Nov 2020), Olongapo Earp (May 2021), and Neptune's Martyrs (Aug 2021).

As I get the Tequila Vikings saga released, I am also outlining my next, a historical fiction series detailing the lives of the American and Filipino guerillas who resisted the Japanese on the island of Mindanao in World War II. So far it is shaping up to be a cross between Game of Thrones and Band of Brothers. I am really looking forward to throwing myself into that in earnest as my efforts in support of Tequila Vikings wind down.

Its a big world out there and I love to bring to light the more obscure details of history and different cultures. It's why I write!

[Gina]

Hi I'm Gordon. I currently live and work in Singapore. I just published my first novel with Monsoon Books,

It is a gonzo Japan travelogue mixed with a Murakami-esque magical realism mystery. Hope you enjoy.
