Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

Hi everyone, I'm new to Goodreads, still finding my way as an author and reader and I'm so glad to have found this group. Reading back to the beginning ... it's based on such a great idea! Thank you, Vincent!

I'm an avid reader as well as a writer. I love books and have a blog with book reviews at http://barbarajrobinson.blogspot.com

I'd go crazy without my books and probably drive my family crazy with me.

Welcome Barbara, I'm sure you'll find tons of great information here on Goodreads to help you.

Thanks, Suzie. I have some book reviews posted on Goodreads, too :)

Hi,

I can't seem to find any info on this, and my email has long since been deleted. I still have a bookswap credit from a long time ago, and I thought I'd read in the email they sent that if we didn't spend the credit, there would be some sort of compensation... Uh, I really don't remember, though. Can someone help me out? I don't know where else to post this. I can't make a new topic or anything, and I'm just generally confused about this site right now.

Thanks.

Hi all!

Less than 12 hours ago, I published my short story THE ONES I REFUSED TO LEAVE to Kindle for 99 cents. It's already in the Top 100 on Amazon under Short Stories! http://amzn.to/sRzl9m It's dark humor/suspense, featuring Rush (the band) and the murder of a podcast host at a Tarot conference.

I'm a traditionally published Mind/Body/Spirit author, and this is my first published work of fiction. The feedbck has been great so far!

I'm a Good Reads author, so feel free to look me up here. My main website is http://JanetBoyer.com Thanks for reading!

Congrats, Janet.

Thanks so much, BJ! :o)

Hey, everyone! I'm another newbie to Goodreads
and wanted to pop in to say Hi. Under my pen name, I've published two romances with a third slated to come out early February, and under my own name, I've published several specfic shorts and my first YA novel, Bite Me will be released in late January with Mundania Press.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi, I am new to GoodReads and enjoy it very much so far. I am an author of Middle Grade Fantasy Stories and the first book of my lastest trilogy "The Wind of Life - The Flyers" was released last month. It is also availalbe as e-book and I hope to get my first series, "Chantel's Quest" converted into e-books for next year. I am looking forward to meet many authors and discuss any issues with them.

Hello,
My name is Francesca, and I am a passionate reader.I read mostly anything, but first on my list is Romance, Romantic suspense, anything that involves at least a bit of romance.

Greetings!
My name is Lana Bradstream. I am an avid reader. I was a journalist for 11 years before switching to fiction. My first book, ETHEREAL INFLUENCE: THE BIRTH, is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I am working on the second book in the series.

Good morning and thanks for the opportunity to join this group. My name is Georgina Anne Taylor and I am a writer (Gothic Fantasy and Fairy Tales) and visual artist. I also love reading (which I think is a prerequisite to writing).

Hi everyone, I think this sounds like a great group, and I can't wait to meet some people and see what everyone's working on, reading, and just figuring this Goodreads world out.

Thanks so much!

Hi Karen.

Hi, Georgina. It's good to meet you.

Thanx for invite. Not sure if this was a random hello or someone familiar with my Hollywood memoir invited me to the group. If anyone has any advice about how to reach non-fiction readers who love to read memoirs especially wild and crazy ones on Hollywood film careers, please let me know. This is for folks who love the behind the scenes of the movie biz and also for romantics who wish to share a great love story and a triumphant cancer journey...and yes all rolled into one...KISS ME QUICK BEFORE I SHOOT.

A big thank you to Lynn Hallbrooks for inviting me here. This sounds like a great group.
