Ewww I can't wait to hear some stories. Excited :)

Hello! My name is Lidia, I'm from Toronto, live there with my husband and two cats. I've been writing since I was able to hold a pen and I'm currently re-writing the vampire novel I wrote in highschool. I'm adding new elements to it where my main characters has a heavenly background that she's not aware of and a male vampire is asking for her help to lift his curse. I assume it's going to take at least a few years. Glad to meet everyone!

Adele, who said anything about biting? We're just ..."

Hi Tanya, you know being hit with corn is not such a bad thing especially if you're hungry, mind you I think you'd get a better response if you tried hitting people with chocolate! How's the writing going? I write French fiction for learning as well as paranormal novels, I've just started another French book which is part of a series and somehow forgot to save it. Yikes!!!

Welcome everyone to our group. We are getting more diverse with our members. Wherever in the world you are, i hope you have a wonderful time here.

Yvonne wrote: "I think you'd get a better response if you tried hitting people with chocolate! How's the writing going?"

Yvonne, I never hit *anyone* with chocolate. Especially not good chocolate. The chocolate is mine. ALL MINE!!!

I just finished my first book, Root Bound, and I'm working on the marketing part now. Hoping to have Book 2 ready by Christmas.

Do you teach French, then?

Sorry ladies , we have a chit chat area for conversations such as yours, can you please transfer it there, as this topic is for introductions.
Oh and i agree with Tanya....you never hit anyone with chocolate.

Apologies, Adele. Consider it moved.

Not a problem, i don't mind chit chat. I just want to try and keep this for introductions/welcomes only.
Thanks.

I love sharing books

Hi, I'm Tima Maria, I love to read paranormal romance - vampires, werewolves, faeries... can't get enough of Maggie Shayne. Her Wings in the Night series is fantastic! Also, love Charlaine Harris, Tanya Huff, Gena Showlater... I could go on.
I'm an author to. My debut novel comes out at the end of August. I thought it was about time we Aussies had our own vampire dynasty. So, I wrote one!

What's the title? Is there a sample download? I'm a big Aussie fan. Used to read A lot of Arthur Upfield. Looking to see what Australia can give us in the paranormal genre.

Thanks Justin. Go ahead and put an extract of your book on here. Since you're an author, you should be able to have an author page where you can post an excerpt. That's what I did. I posted the prologue first two chapters of my book, 'Bloodgifted' as a teaser.

Justine, create a topic in the members work folder and put your extract there.
Self promotion should also be put in that folder as well.
Welcome to all of the newbies!
Nice to see more Aussies here :o)

Sorry, Justine. I wasn't wearing my glasses. They're on now! Looking forward to reading your extract. Are you an Aussie as well?

I'm an Aussie. Justine is from i believe Canada.

Hi fellow Aussie, Adele. Nice to meet you.

welcome so what are you reading now

Hi im Justine and i love to read anything that catches my attention i also am writing a book its not done yet but if anyone would like to read it i could certiantly post it on this website

Hi guys!

Now I love the horror/dark fantasy genre- because if you're going to escape reality, how far can you go but that?

But what I love most of all, is WRITING the genre.

I suffer from a condition called Old Hag's Syndrome- Sleep Paralysis-
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/art...

I used this to write my novel TARTARUS. You can buy it now online at Waterstones, Amazon and even on kindle format now.

Here's is the blurb;
Hate is a strong word. But you’ve never met Diane Stillman.
After Britain’s war in 1996 between the Humans and the “Freaks”, a damaged Diane Stillman is left with the rubble of what was her life. Living above a putrid world where she knows her sister’s killer hides, her existence revolves around retribution. Tartarus- the Underground City of the Vampires- the freaks- a place with their own rules and regulations.
With Government becoming deaf and dumb to her pleas for help, and constant Night Terrors of a figure she calls, “The Man”, Diane moves to the decaying world below to track her sister’s executioner herself.
But eyes follow her in choking black ink of Tartarus and something is determined to find her first. Unknowingly hunted for being last of the mysterious Stillman bloodline, and finding herself auctioned off as a blood-whore to a possessive Vampire Lord, Diane finds herself starting to evolve into the very thing she’s afraid of.
A monster…

The CurseImagine that you are very young living in America and rich beyond your dreams. You keep having nightmares about Romania. You take your girlfriend and her mother to a small village in the mountains of Transylvania and find out your family and the village has been cursed fifty years before your birth. This is The Curse.

Charles promotion is to be kept strictly in the members work folder. I let your previous comment slide but I cannot allow this comment to slide as well.
Please keep all your promotion to the appropriate areas.

Sorry!

I am not very good at Goodreads. I fumble and make mistakes. My books are not where I want them to be. I guess I just don't get it. Help me or tell me what to do?
I just want to fit in.

No problems.
Have you promoted in our members work folder? Start up a new topic and that is yours. Talk about your book as much as you want in that topic. However there is one other place you can promote your work. And that is in the Authors unite topic in that same folder. Leave a comment there promoting your work.
Are you hosting a giveaway on goodreads or a blog? We have a giveaways and competitions area in the group you can utilize.
I can't allow any other promotion except for that I'm sorry. Good luck!
