Introduce Yourself
Hi I'm WJ Gunning and have enjoyed being a group member for sometime. Have just published my first book Contrite Hearts and welcome any reviews. At present I am offering a special introductory price, but if you would like to arrange something with me please send me a message. I also do reviews and enjoy reading others books.
Hi, I'm sure I've introduced myself once, but the fairies must be trolling today! ;)Anyway, I'm Xandra *waves from the UK* I'm a reader and author, and am glad to be here :)
I spend more time on the internet than I should, I have a penchant for chocolate chip muffins and would love to find the cure to stop my tea going cold when my head's in a book and I forget the time! ;)
Looking forward to meeting you all in the future!

Your post made me smile.
I have cold tea now, having gotten wrapped up in Goodreads. If you find the solution to that, let me know!
Amber
I’m Amber Foxx, writer, professor, yoga teacher, personal trainer. I’ve discovered I enjoy reviewing. I’ve done reviews as part my work, reviewing textbooks and continuing education courses in health and exercise science, so I tend to be detail-oriented reviewer when it comes to fiction. I’ve participated in a critique group and been a beta reader for other authors, so I felt quite warmed up and in practice the first time I reviewed fiction on Goodreads. I want to make sure there are no conflicts of interest in my reviewing, as an author, so I have not chosen to review other indie authors who write in my genre—not that I fit any genre category very well. Paranormal fiction for people who don’t like paranormal fiction, mysteries without murder, anti-romances … my genre may be Amber Foxx. Anyway, I know I would give an unbiased review, but I’m being cautious. For my reviews here I’d probably rather not review works in my professional sphere, since this is my recreation, but if an author needs an expert beta reader for fiction that includes my field, I am happy to help out.
Hello. I look forward to participating with this group. I am a new author to the fiction game. Coming from the intelligence and operations community, I've mostly written special operations articles and papers (under true name). I have written the start of a black ops series, Safe Havens. First book, Shadow Masters, comes out in a few weeks. There is a two chapter preview on my website for those who care to give it a try. I'd like to think it is fast paced, raw, but fallibly human and vulnerable. It's what I've seen and what I know. Thanks. www.jtpattenbooks.com
Hello, My name is Redwhale. I'm new to ebook publishing and I'm branching out to like-minded people to learn from and grow with. I look forward to discussing the wonderful world of books with you and contributing to the group. If anyone can lead me in the direction of learning how to get reviews for my newly published short ebook with a humorous take in non-fiction please let me know either through this group or through my email. Thank you and have a great day.
I write F & SF -I am in search of reviews -
I am happy to review books by others -
I have done ebook publishing and will be happy to compare notes.

The Coolest Way to Kill YourselfHello,
My name is Nicholas Tanek and I wrote The Coolest Way to Kill Yourself. I used to write record reviews and interview musicians, artists, and authors. I respect and understand the power of reviews and journalists.
I am looking for bloggers and independent reviewers to review my book. I am not sending my book to any major magazine or newspaper. I want to build a following from the underground up.

My name is Jay Floyd. I wrote an autobiography called "The Poet Who Watched The Whole Parade". It has received high praise from the few who have reviewed it but I would love opinions and thoughts. I enjoy all kinds of books, usually biographical non-fiction but I've been on a sci-fi kick recently reading a lot of Philip K/ Dick and Hugh Howey.

I write a blog that critiques books and their translation into movies. http://brianbookreviews.blogspot.com/I'm also a writer that is one of those that can't ever seem to find time to write. Therefore, I'll probably never be a successful writer. But I enjoy reading and watching movies and analyzing the transformation of books to movies.

G'day fellow book lover, writers, reviewers. I am an Aussie author trying to get some spotlight on my book. Even a feeble wind-blown candle-like shadow, would do, even, if only for a moment.Celtic Blood
All who dare come ye hither into the dark woods where danger lies. The theme of dangers lurking in the green forest is ancestral, species long, it scares us and fascinates, us, both. Come with me and enter the woods.
A boy once his father is murdered seeks escape amongst the wilds riding deeper and deeper into the green. He is the son of a noble Earl, the great-grandson of a king, and marked for death. He is the last of his line. Alone in the trees bar for one friend who has forsaken him not.
A forest has haunting power. You need God's power and protection in the shadows. And, in the deep dark mysterious forest-shadows nothing ... nothing ... protects ... you.

Hi everyone,I'm SW Fairbrother. I'm fairly new to Goodreads but liking what I see so far :)
I'm a voracious reader, and read most genres with the possible exceptions of spy & romance novels, but I'd read the back of a cornflake packet if it was well written.
I'm also an urban fantasy author and am seeking honest reviews of my novel, The Secret Dead. You can see the link here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JMSXHLA
If you're interested in a free review copy, let me know your preferred format and I'll email it to you. Alternatively, I can provide a coupon if you have a Smashwords account.
Hi everyone!My names Kyle Scott. I'm a horror author with a debut anthology under my belt, Consumed: Volume 1, and something of a genre obsessive.
Aside from writing horror fiction, I run my own blog - reviewing and editorialize on all thing horror - called The Horror Hotel.
Looking forward to getting to know the group. I always find it extremely inspiring discussing the genre with like-minded fans, as there are few communities more caring, intelligent and passionate than those which horror inspires.
Now for some influences...
From a literary standpoint, my work is my play. The authors I read are both a source of inspiration and a passion that I really can't get enough of.
I could list many, but to give an idea of my influences, here's a small list :
Richard Laymon
Brian Keene
Bentley Little
Jeff Strand
Blake Crouch
Jack Kilborn
Edward Lee
Joe Hill
J F Gonzalez
Very keen to meet and swap reviews with like-minded readers.
Feel free to contact me anytime.
It's a pleasure to meet you all.

I'm a Hollywood writer-director by way of Boston.My new novel "The Dude Who Did Dictionaries" is now available on Amazon via Kindle Direct as a KDP Selection - www.amazon.com/dp/B00M0DUI8Y
Frank Flutie is a lexicographer who has waged war on the "perils of adultolescence" by leaving a high-paying job as a copywriter for an advertising company called The Banker and taking a low-paying job in a bookstore instead, ostensibly so he can write the first ever all sexual dictionary.
The "war" (and his dictionary), however, aren't going particularly well and, under the stress of his "self-imposed exile" from affluence, Frank has become petty and fatalistic -- "a shit hoarder whose dictionary would be better utilized as a flyswatter, a doorstop, or a paperweight".
Always broke, but too proud to accept charity, he rarely sees his few friends and cannot get the virginal Marlene in bed because (or so he believes), "If you got no dough, no woman will love you."
On the mantle in Frank's shabby apartment is a sickly but unkillable pet sea lamprey -- a jawless fish he abhors as the banner of the sort of "clockwork universe" he is fleeing from in his downward spiral.
In the course of his misadventures, we become grindingly aware that his radical solution to the problem of the money-world is no solution at all -- that in his desperate reaction against a monstrous system, he has become something of a monster himself.
"The Dude Who Did Dictionaries" is a behemoth valentine to Boston and a gritty, sprawling, depiction of today's recession-inflicted state of affairs.

Hi All!I'm Taylor. I write romance / paranormal / fantasy and I read almost everything....
If you'd like an honest review, then don't hesitate to ask!
Hey guys! I'm Jen and I'm an English Major in my third year from Europe. I've written novels myself but I mainly review at the moment and run a blog dedicated to reading and books. (www.bookavid.tumblr.com) I'm always looking for novels to review, especially from new authors because I think it is important to bring some diversity into the book community. Everybody's going crazy about bestseller authors, and being a published author myself, I know that it can be hard to gain a foothold, especially for a first-time author. I'm primarily interested in YA and NA but I do also enjoy the odd horror or mystery novel. If you're a published author and would like some input, here I am. Feel free to message me here or on my blog.
Hi to all! Anyone interested in a free e-book that I wrote, "The Forbidden Script" Will send it to you from Amazon (kindle format)
Please send me your email address.
Thanks :)

Greetings...My name is Guy Robert Vestal. I am a single Father who has raised 8 Daughters alone our entire lives. I have four elementary school aged girls still left at home.
I just recently got back to reading and writing. I love to review books, but sadly enough, I am too old school to abandon ink and paper, ergo I own no e reader. Sorry. LOL

I expect that being a single father of 8 girls you'd have enough anecdotes and heartfelt incidences to write a very compelling book. I congratulate you on your family.

Hi there. I'm a romantic suspense and suspense author who also practices law in Miami, Florida. I published my first book "Just Dreams" - a romantic legal thriller - last month. I'm looking for candid reviews of the book and am willing to provide complimentary .mobi and .epub copies of the book for that purpose.
Hello everyone! I'm so excited to be here. I literally tripped over this group while looking for something completely different on Goodreads, so this must be my lucky day.My name is Jonel and I thoroughly enjoy reviewing books. Well, to start with I love reading them, but I just find there's a little extra something when you get to stop at the end and think about why you liked it (or if the case may be, didn't like it). Being able to share it with others is always a nice experience as well. With that in mind, I have many reviews on Goodreads as well as a blog dedicated completely to books. If you feel inclined to take a peek you can see it here
Hi Jonel, normally I don't have much time for thse, but I've been a legal assistant for 25 years and I have a legal thriller in the works so I'll do a review for you. Just a FYI in the interests of full disclosure, I'm also Publisher of Books We Love, but I'm a mystery author, the A Texas State of Mind series is mine, as well as the newly released paranormal time travel, Sisters of Prophecy. This review will be with my author hat on not my publisher hat. Jude
Hi there fellow readers/reviewers/authors, I'm waving a cold beer as a hello from sunny Sydney, Australia!I've been an avid reader since my father thrust a copy of the Hobbit under my nose at the age of 11.. from then on I've been addicted to books... so much so I ended up in the printing industry for the last 20 years and have printed more than my fair share of books... If you ever need to know how to actually get one produced, I'm your man!
Recently I started a book review blog www.internetbookreview.com firstly to see if I could, but also to learn more about the world of blogging and creating digital content, so far it's been great fun talking about books that I've read.
I look forward to connecting with fellow readers, reviewer and authors!
Good morning from a not very sunny France!I can't remember not reading. As a 5-year-old, I joined the junior reading circle at the local library, then read my way through school, uni and life.
Now I also write.
My writing genre is alternate history thriller with strong heroines and a Roman theme.
My reading genres are unlimited.
This group sounds both friendly and well-organised; I will go and explore.

Hello all,I'm Jenn. I'm an avid reader and a serious writer of many topics, subjects, and ideas. I thoroughly enjoy business related books, self-improvement, cook-books, travel, and abstract art related books
I'm very serious about book reviews swaps. If it's a book under 50-100 pages that review can be done same day. I have time to do at least 10 reviews daily so if you are interested or need a review please contact me with book details. If you book has more than 100+ pages then I'll need a few more days. First 10 of the day get the positive reviews. Best mode of communication is my email. A swap for a swap is my motto but not opposed to just doing some reviews just because you just have to ask however those who are swapping get chosen first.
Also I have an upcoming book promo on Amazon starting Jan 21-23 2015 so these review swaps can start as soon as tomorrow.
