Writers and Readers discussion

Hello. Nice to meet everyone!

My name is Thayer Berlyn and I am a writer of mystery and suspense stories with a paranormal sway. I am a very eclectic reader, but do like a good ghost story and philosophy always captivates my attention. My current book is The Evangeline Heresy.

Welcome to the group, Thayer.

Hi everyone, I'm happy to be part of the discussion. I'm a writer and a reader, so Goodreads is a wonderful place for me.
I'm also the author of Cadence Beach a romantic suspense novel.
Looking forward to getting to know Goodreads and many of you on the site, both fellow writers AND readers.

Hello to everyone, I am a recently self-published writer of an inspiring memoir, Messages from Within: Finding Meaning in Your Life Experiences. The overall theme of this book is to allow the flow of Life to direct your next steps. I have also written a children's book, The Chocolate Rainbow and I am working on a third and fourth book.

Thanks, A.F.!

Hi all,

I'm a writer, but first I was a reader. I devour books. :-) Before I had kids it wasn't unusual to find me reading 1 book a day. Now I'm lucky if I read one book a week.

Glad to be here.

Hello all,
I'm Natacha. I'm originally from Belgium but moved to the San Francisco Bay Area as a pre-teen. I'm an avid reader and an aspiring author (currently working on a project). I've written poetry and plan on writing more short stories and eventually novels. I will mostly be writing historical fiction, a lot of it set in the Middle East. However I am remaining open to life's surprises and the possibilities of writing on a variety of subjects. Glad to have found the group. :)

Hi, my name is Ann Lee. I love to read and write. Sometimes, I forget to market my own books because I am caught up in reading.

I enjoy writing inspirational nonfiction books. True life is more mysterious than fiction. Through the pain and the obstacles, in this journey that is known as "life" we seek resolution. The outcome of resolve, may not be perfect, however, there is always a lesson that can be learned.

Researching, true life stories can be a tedious undertaking. However, the rewards, justify the outcome. In 1995, I became interesting in writing a book about a young man, Andre Coppage, whose five younger siblings were murdered because a drug cartel thought that he had told police about a murder that he had witnessed. In 2003, after years of following the case, "Code of Silence, the Andre Coppage Story was written.

In 2005, after my mother passed away,immersed in grief I decided to fulfill a promise. I promised my mother that I would research our family history. After 7 years of researching, in 2011, I fulfilled my promise.
In 2012, "Human Property Hanging in the Family Tree Yields a Harvest," was written and published.

Hi Courtney, welcome to the group.

Hi, I'm T.S. Cage and I write and read (not at the same time, that's cumbersome). I have some short stories up on my profile if you like to look at them. When I finish my first sci-fi novella series I'll post it up to. Hold your breath until then! (That is, if you can hold your breath for a few more months. Personal challenge?)

Hey, Aubrey...know what you mean by a "crazy life." I grew up in a really--excuse my language--"shitty" neighborhood in an even more crappy subculture before I was born and up until I was 21...so I know the crazyness (is that a word?) you describe...You'll do well as writer...and that's a promise...

Welcome all!

Aubrey wrote: "Yes, in my world, it is definitely a word! Haha Thank you for the kind words as well, that's such a sincere thing to say!"

Hmmm...well, don't remember saying the word "world," but, then again, you probably weren't referring to me but, still, seriously, insane "ordinary life" experiences translate very well to the literary forum...of course, I don't think of myself as a good writer but I know that "craziness" is a good source of truth because human existence is just plain crazy, if you know what I mean...

I think with inflation two cents will not be enough. How about a dime?
