Anthony Smith (anthonyneilsmith) Anthony Neil Smith. Crime novelist. Taco lover and cheap red wine enthusiast.

I've got a number of books floating out there, four of them I put on Kindle after they found some success with small presses.

Currently, I'm giving away YELLOW MEDICINE, the first in the Billy Lafitte series, for free here on Goodreads, and over at Amazon, Kobo, and the Apple store. It's a rough ride--Southern bad boy cop gets a second chance in rural Minnesota...but then he becomes an even worse cop until he's forced to protect the ones he loves.

Alan Hardy | 2 comments I'm Alan Hardy. I write poems & novels. Poetry pamphlets: Wasted Leaves, 1996; I Went With Her, 2007. I've had poems published in such magazines as Orbis, Iota, The Interpreter's House, Poetry Nottingham, Poetry Salzburg Review, Poetry Cornwall, and others.

I would describe my novels as surreal novels exploring the nature of relationships, romantic and sexual, and Britain's class-system, with liberal use of comedy and satire, creating original and riveting settings full of humour, romance, sex and adventure. The one available at the moment is GABRIELLA. It's a bawdy, comic, satirical tale which combines sex & cricket. It's WICKET!

Denise | 16 comments Hello, my name is Denise Flora. I released my first fantasy, historical fiction, paranormal romance in July of 2012. There will be four sequels, the first will be released in about a month, by Mays end I hope. I adore Scotland and sexy Highlanders, so naturally my books focus around one family, the Murray's. Mckenna, my heroine,stumbles on an ancient secret while rummaging through her attic in present day, and finds a love letter written to her by a 16th century Highlander. Well, give it a try to find out what happens next. It is a lengthy, but not boring novel for those with a romantic heart.

Geoffrey Wakeling | 9 comments Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by.

So, I suppose I better tell you a little about myself. I'm a Londoner right now, though a country boy at heart and wanting to move back to the fields eventually. Slightly pet mad, and have crammed three cats, a tank of fish, chickens, birds and soon tree frogs into my little home.

I've always written, but started publishing just over a year ago via Amazon and Smashwords. My favourite work to date has to be Pacifier 6 - The Shadows Within; my zombie novella. I'd never intended on writing about zombies, but a story about what happens after the apocalypse popped into my head and I couldn't stop myself!

I've also written:

Inside Evil - a fantasy series set on the borders of England and Scotland indulging in gin drinking, parallel worlds, doppelgangers and inquisitive creatures.

CRYO: Rise of the Immortals - the first book in a SF series following the winner of a cryonics ticket and how he journey's to a future world.

Please feel free to throw my books on your shelves, ask me questions or just say hi! :)

Heather James (makexbelieve) | 13 comments Fire (Elements of Power, #1) by Heather James

Is control over the elements a gift, or a curse?

Enter a world where it's normal to spark flames in your fingertips, or produce gale-force winds with a flick of your wrists.

Roxy thinks that she is in control of everything: with flames flaring at her fingertips and an equally fiery attitude, what more could she need? But then she meets Brae, a prince from a rival Realm, who turns her assumptions of superiority upside down.

Jasmine has none of Roxy’s confidence or intensity. But she does have a secret - and Brae - and she’s not going to give either up willingly.

Scott Alexander (scottalexanderbaker) | 5 comments I have been working by splitting my time in half.
I have two series that occupy most of my efforts.
The first is a children's series called Enchanted Lands of Bisclona. So far there are two chapter book length titles.
Darby and the Dew Berry Fairies and Darby's First Christmas in Bisclona.

The second series is Everlasting Night
There are two books out now.
The first title is "A Bite is Forever Part 1"

The second is "Wolf Queen."

I have two more books finally set to come out this year.
The first is a sci-fi mash up titled "Atlas Down" which focuses on a real anti-hero who just wants to get in the way, but has no choice but to react.
It is full of modern tech and references to current affairs,( but they are only for texture).

The other book is my third children's book, titled Busy Bunny's Night of Wonder. Can't say much about the details other than it is a wonderful book for young readers and it includes a great appendix full of fun facts about animals and their habitats. Very accessible and fun.

Hello everyone,

My name is Antonello Fiore. It is a pleasure to meet all of you. I have recently released my debut novel, Killer Rumors. The genre of my book is mystery and crime. The reason why I wanted to write this story was to inform the public that priests will always be under the microscope.

James Patterson is my favorite author. His short-length chapters, constant dialogue, and detailed information is what draws me to his books. In addition, I have a Bachelor's Degree in Theology and Religion. Therefore, I decided to combine my two passions. Fans of James Patterson and Dan Brown will truly enjoy my novel.

I thank you for your time. Wishing you all the best!

message 40: by Julie (new)

Julie (juliekrantz) | 9 comments Hi, Everybody--I have several books in the pipeline, but only one out so far. It's a bittersweet middle-grade novel about two young New York City girls who get caught stealing a substitute teacher's wallet and decide to run away to midtown Manhattan to evade parents, school officials and, ultimately, police. It's really a fun book--but it's serious, too. Here's the jacket-flap:

A wallet, a thief, and a brilliant plan--what can possibly go wrong?

At least that’s what Stella thinks when she urges Pin Pin to return the stolen wallet—until she gets caught with the goods, that is. That’s when all heaven, hell and whatever’s-in-between breaks loose, forcing the BFFs to hit the road.

Tag along with Stella and Pin Pin as they ditch Little Italy for midtown Manhattan—all the while battling archrival Angie Como for the title to SOHO’s Annual Food Drive, their ticket to Regis Academy, a posh high school for girls, hidden far, far away in the Catskills. Oh-la-la, for a chance to leave home—for good!

Problem is... the road isn’t much safer than home, especially when the runaways attract the attention of police, museum officials and—worst of all—Stella’s unforgiving father. Also pitted against their extravagant dreams is the threat of Pin Pin and her family’s deportation, including baby sister, Audrey, who lies at the heart of this quirky coming-of-age novel—STELLA BELLAROSA, a serious MG with a funny-bone.

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Stella-Bellaros...

I would love it if you'd download/read/review it. Thanks! Julie


message 41: by Kate (new)

Kate Vane (katevane) Recognition by Kate Vane

Recognition by Kate Vane is a psychological crime novel set in Leeds, England, published on Amazon Kindle.

The blurb:

Nat Keane never forgot her first murder. Sandie Thurston was killed and mutilated in her own bed. Five-year-old Amy lay beside her, soaked in her mother’s blood.

Nat was the first police officer on the scene. She was the family liaison officer who got close to the family. Too close. When a man was convicted, she walked away, lonely and broken.

Ten years on she has another life. She has a job she loves counselling trauma victims and a home with her partner, Dylan, a criminal lawyer. So when Martin, husband of the murdered Sandie, asks her to work with him and Amy, why does she agree to go back?

Amy's evidence was key to getting a conviction. Now the media are hinting that she got it wrong. Martin is tortured by a guilt he won’t explain. At fifteen, Amy is alternately needy and hostile – a devoted daughter who deceives her father, a sheltered child who can’t stop taking risks.

As Nat is drawn into the family's secrets, is she helping them find the truth or complicit in their lies? Who did kill Sandie? And why, just when Nat needs Dylan's support, is he distracted by a controversial case of his own?

Currently I'm finishing up my first series, and working on a new one:) Here's the Cascade Adventures Saga so far. I still have two books left to add to the list, then it's off to more writing and MORE series!

The books have so far received positive reviews and ratings, so that makes me proud:) If you'd like to help me out by checking out my work, that'd be HUGELY appreciated! I have listed the books in reading order. If you want to make more sense of the series and enjoy it more, then click on the first one (The Prophecy);)

Danika Stone (danikastone) | 13 comments Hi Everyone!

I'm Danika, and I'm still fairly new to Goodreads. I have all my detailed information on my homepage: www.danikastone.com, but I thought I'd pop in to share my books. The first two are part of the Intaglio series, 2012, (paranormal romance). They are:

Intaglio: The Snake and the Coins
