message 1418: by Peter (new)

Peter Stankovic | 109 comments Just finished 'Criminal Enterprise' by Owen Laukkanen. I'd give it 4 stars. Started 'The Skeleton Road' by Val McDermid.

A question: where do I record books I've authored?


message 1419: by Brenda, Suspense lover! (new)

Brenda | 11970 comments Mod
Peter do you have an author profile?

If you open your own thread here in the Author Section - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... - (top right hand side "new topic" and go from there. You can list them all there to let us as members, check them all out. It would be good if you could link them too - makes it easier for us to check them out. (to do that, "add book/author" in the top of this comment box and follow the prompts)

Any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask:)

Lack of Ambition by Peter A. Stankovic

Then if you do what I suggested above into the Author Spot you can talk about your book and when you have more to tell us, or if you have any promotions etc. you would put them in there:)

Peter, you need to claim ownership here:

Then you can update it with a photo, bio etc.

No!!! How good:) I will certainly be watching as will my husband who cleverly bought and read all of Michael Connelly' s books as they came out. So I have the pleasure of a whole shelf of books waiting for me to read:)

Carolyn | 2086 comments Oh you are lucky Phrynne! I've picked up quite a few second hand and read them completely out of order so would like to go back and read from the start. I read the first one recently written in the 90sand it made me realise how much policing had changed since then!

Reading a mystery set in India called The Girl Who Went Missing by Ace Varkey. Intriguing mystery, it also incorporates aspects of the Indian culture.

That and having the opportunity to read all day which doesn't happen often. I have a cold so I gave myself the day off:)

Vicki Tyley (vickityley) | 280 comments Sometimes a day off is just what the doctor ordered.

Apologies for the typo in your name in the last comment. On my phone, so can't edit it.
