When you're on the main discussion page, click "new topic" in the upper right corner of the display. Be sure to select "GoodReads Authors Books" from the 'folder' drop down menu. Then just title it as the name of your book, include some info in the post, and you're all set.

The reason for my confusion is because there seems to be a problem in the description box for this group. It says; 'Are you a GoodReads Author of SciFi or Fantasy? Want us to discuss your book? If so suggest it here:' but there's no immediate link. The next link take you to this discussion, hence myself and several others posting bookblurb in the wrong place.
For the sake of clarity, I'll repeat Ala's instructions here;

Hey, thanks Ala. I think I've just made a request through the 'author program' link in the footer to be linked to my author profile but it's very late here in Tokyo and I may have ordered a pizza instead.
Well, either way, you still win right? :P

I'm constantly on the lookout for new authors and books to read, so happy to find this place and get recommendations. :D
hiyas and welcome, Adrianne :)
You'd think so, wouldn't you?
But you'd be wrong.
:P

Welcome to the group Maggie :)

I am a 32yr old freelance writer, author and poet. She also writes the blog for www.delectablegoodies.com. I grew up heavily surrounded in the world of Caribbean and African superstitions, being born on the island of Trinidad. While in college, I began taking a deeper look into the history of Caribbean and African folklore and the knowledge has never left me.
By the age of two I earned my nickname scribbles. From the time I could hold a pen I put it to paper and my mother bought me notebooks to mark in. Merging my love of writing and fantasy, I have produced my labors of love in the Ansheniu Series.
Please check it out at let me know what you think. There is a preview available on my website at www.delectablegoodies.com/ansheniuris...
You can also pick up a copy there as well.
I am an avid reader of all books fantasy, from the unknown to the well known. I also love being put on to the next thing and giving my support.
Hi Keisha. Be sure to drop a post over in the Authors Section. :)

Welcome Christopher.
Was it a Q&A or just a signing?

It was a panel discussing the definition of "Hard Science Fiction." CONDOR is a convention. G. Benford was host this year.
Sounds cool. Who else was on it?


I really need to go to a con one of these days... always miss out on the fun.

Me? Oh hell no. I can't write to save my life :P
I've just never been to any panel discussion like that, and it sounds pretty interesting.

Keith, I had the same problem when I came here. Now my problem is too many good books to read. You might look into the book swap here, at Bookmooch.com &/or Paperbackswap.com. I had to or else the budget would have been hurting.
Doh, missed ya Keith. Hi and whatnot.

Hey Chris. I had the chance to work with Niven in the mid-90s. Fun stuff!


Hello everyone!
I just turned 40, and own a Mexican restaurant in Escondido California, good burritos and Great Margaritas! I love scifi (hard and soft, fantasy, mythology, history, adventure and horror, from my very first book when I was 12: A princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs which is actually a mix of Fantasy/Scifi I became hooked.
I just finished Scalzi's Old man's war and its phenomenal, I hope the next ones are as good.
Welcome to the group, Julian :)
Do...do we get a readers discount if we come to your restaurant? :P

I doubt a group dedicated to him would garner the membership to be active enough, (I made one for Zelazny & it's very quiet.) but if you started a new topic about him here, I'd be interested. He might also be considered a pulp writer & there is a group for that, too.

The other books in the Old Man's War universe are pretty good.
