Indie author tilting at windmills. Most of my picture books feature a theme. For example, A Lab of a Different Color. This is a picture book for kids that addresses racism without mentioning people or race. Our divisive times inspired this book. Joe, a red Labrador Retriever, wonders if he is as good as a chocolate, yellow, or black Lab. His journey leads to the realization that it doesn’t matter what color you are, your behavior is what defines you.
My two novels are probably best defined as space opera. Kiku's Quest's feature a strong female protagonist and tolerance for all intelligence, whether inorganic or organic.
I'm infatuated with anthropomorphism so telepathic animals are a given in my books.
I love writing and pretty much suck on marketing. My goal in my picture books is to positively touch one life. My chapter books and novels are intended to entertain and expand awareness.
I'm an obsessive grandparent and revel in having been married for over half a century. (to the same person) I test my mental acuity by reading a hard copy, an e-book, and an audiobook at the same time. I'll admit I strive to be reading different genres to avoid too much confusion. I hope that my writing can transport my readers to as many wonderful places as I have experienced as a reader.

Sounds like a great book for kids. 🌞

Thanks, my illustrator rescues dogs and loves to illustrate dogs.

I'm a traditionally published mystery/suspense author of eight novels. My first children's book, Penelope's Purple-Perfect Plan, was released by Little Roni Publishers earlier this year. It addresses the fear and anxiety of a child starting school for the first time. The book is beautifully illustrated and is a fun read and valuable resource for parents and teachers of early learners. I'm disappointed that it has failed to gain much of a following.

Hello! I am a author/screenwriter who loves to read/write suspense thrillers that delve into the human condition, politics, and faith. I enjoy intense narratives that are often cathartic and ironic. My recent release: THE CALLING: A SUPERNATURAL FAITH-BASED SUSPENSE THRILLER is mixture of all I enjoy as a reader and author.

I've been a member since the earliest days but haven't participated much in a while. Been trying to get back into things. I'm an indie author who is also an avid reader across a variety of genres.

Hi. I'm a writer and editor (and English teacher). My reading's become a little scattered recently - I find that I'm reading several books at the same time - so I thought I'd join Goodreads, and a few Goodreads groups, in order to encourage me to be a bit more focused. My plan is to review each book I read and then drop a comment here (I presume sharing reviews isn't encouraged) to mark the occasion and perhaps inspire a few discussions. Does that sound OK?

That sounds fine. Welcome Alan.
(BTW you can include a link to your review here, or the whole thing if you want to.) 🙂

Great. Thanks Barbara.

Hi everybody, I should have done this a long time ago. My name is Sarah. I am an illegitimate ancestor of James Mason. I have little family and little to go by but I'd love to connect with people who appreciate the phenomenon that he was. <3 I feel him in my soul.

Welcome Sarah. 🙂

Hey everyone! Man... it's been a long time since I've been here. Life really gets busy sometimes. Since I've last been here, I've moved five times, changed careers, been divorced and now remarried again and built my dream home. In between all that I still squeaked out another book to finally publish. Crazy times, but I have had a blast living life to the fullest and I hope all of you have as well.
My new book is called Unconditional. It's A LOT different from my first one A Prelude to Closure. You will be able to sense that as soon as you see the book covers. Anyway, I hope this message finds everyone living a beautiful life and this time I will stay more connected. I'm in my forever home now, so no more moving. lol

I have a new novel coming out later in the month. I wanted to stop by and invite members to check out the book trailer for my Western legal thriller Sundown that I posted on my profile page. Wishing everyone a joyous new year.

Hey everyone, A few years ago, I traded in my military boots for a pen, yeah, probably not the switch anyone expected, least of all me.

After years of serving, adapting back to “normal” life wasn’t easy, and writing became my lifeline.

So, I’m here to share stories, talk books, and maybe even inspire someone else to chase that itch they can’t ignore.

I’d be truly grateful if anyone could share an honest review of my upcoming book . Every bit of feedback helps me grow as a writer. Thank you!

Great to be in the group!
I’m a business author. Recently, I released a book, Beyond Chaos: How to Create Clarity When Everything Falls Apart
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FPR1HT3M
Chaos in thinking is one of the greatest issues leaders are facing at present, and this issue will only grow. Chaos is the norm, where clarity is always an achievement.
Achieving certainty amid the debris of chaos is no easy feat.
This presents a daunting challenge for any leader. Helping people escape their bubbles of uncertainty requires the ability to see beyond the chaos. To do that, the leader must learn how to create clarity.
What is the nature of chaos? How can chaos be used to achieve success? How do you think and act beyond chaos to realize your vision? How can clarity be gained?
Answering these questions, along with many others, through real-life stories and practical discussions, Oleg Konovalov, an acclaimed global thought leader and top authority in visionary leadership, outlines a practical framework for developing a strong mindset and emerging from chaos into visionary clarity. Your success lies beyond the chaos.
