GR Magazine discussion

Hi all. I'm looking forward to reading everybody's contributions. This is my first attempt at forming/moderating a group. I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes. I expect the homepage to evolve over the weeks as I become more familiar with the process. I invite any suggestions for improving the group. I hope that all of you enjoy your experience in this group.

Hey guys. Jonathan Maberry here. I'm a NY Times bestseller with thrillers (Patient Zero, King of Plagues), horror (Dead of Night, Ghost Road Blues), movie adaptatons (The Wolfman), young adult (Rot & Ruin, Dust & Decay) and Marvel Comics (DoomWar, Captain America: Hail Hydra). I'm also editing a vampire anthology for IDW. I live in Bucks County, PA, and I'm a full-time writer. Happy to be here.

Thanks a lot Kyle. I appreciate it.

Nice to meet you Nai.

Thanks M. for the invitation. (Um, do we also have to post a rating with our introductions? I guess this would be a "K"!)

I'm Elizabeth Bucchaineri (although I usually just use my two initials). An Irish Italian American, I lived in Ireland, and am now living in Portugal, I am a music-major / author and have a number of books published, both non-fiction and fiction.Please chesk out my author page for a list of my titles, if you like:

My favourite books to read are the old classics, although I do read and review modern books. (I just haven't filled up my Goodreads shelves yet.) I love classical music and musical theatre. "Phantom of the Opera" is my favourite musical.

Well, I suppose that's me in a nutshell!

Hi E.A. Thanks for joining. I have checked out your author's page in the past.

Thanks for joining, Junying. I will try to check out your books and will certainly go to your author's page.

Hey guys, lol don't I feel juvenile, but I don't have anything I'm looking to get published, I always end up changing stories. But I write poetry and post more of that on GR.

Welcome to the group Hira. I look forward to seeing your writing posted here. Please don't hesitate to share.

Hi all!

I'm Bridget. I've self-published one book and currently writing the second in the series. I tend to be long winded and all my short stories end up turning into something long. I look forward to reading what everyone else has to write.

Hi Karishma. Welcome to the group. I look forward to reading your poetry in GR Magazine.

Hello everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!! I appreciate the invite to the group. My first book, In My Shoes (Rated T), came out on Kindle last December and the hardcover and all other digital formats came out in February. I have them both on sale for Thanksgiving and Family Day. My next novel, 31 Days to Life (Rated M), is due out next August, but I have a preview available through my blog. I live in Las Vegas, NV with my wife and two children, and work full-time.

Hi Adrian. Welcome to the group. I hope to be able to read your books and I also hope that you would be kind enough to share your blog on these pages.

Thanks, M! I would be happy to. Do you want me to link here when I update it, or did you mean something else?

Thanks for the welcomes, Kyle and M.

By the way, for anyone in the group, I'd be happy to provide a free digital copy of In My Shoes if they would be willing to review it on Goodreads and any other sites they subscribe to like Amazon or Barnes and Noble. Message me if you're interested.

Hello all! My name is Cheyla Rayne, and I'm an aspiring author. I'm not published, but I'm working on my first serious novel as of this year. I also submit articles to the newspaper occasionally for fun, and to build my platform as a writer. I'm interested in seeing other people's writing and critiquing it! Also, I'd love to get an honest opinion on my story.

Hi John. Thanks for joining.

Thanks a lot.

I just realized we have a group bookshelf. I hadn't noticed before. Are we supposed to add books we've read, or does it pull from our libraries, or is there some other goal for the group bookshelf?

You should add some of your favorite books. It is sort of a space for recommendations.

Is it ok to post books we have written in the bookshelf?

It certainly is.

Hi all. I am joining a few groups tonight. It is my first time joining groups. I love reading and writing. I have published two books, Starless Sky (2010) which I wrote when I was 14, and Seven (2011)which I published at 17. I hope to learn from your wisdom and experience as well as contribute in some meaningful way to the group (though I am not exactly sure how I will do that).

Welcome to the group Paige. I look forward to seeing your contributions feel free to contribute in any way you like. This is your group.

hey people, thats me jenny and I look forward towards posting some of my work:)

I look forward to reading your work.
