Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Here's a place to introduce yourself (if you want to :-)

My name is Dustin from Colorful Colorado. I started The Tess Gerritsen Fans Group because there wasn't a group for her and I know she has lots of fans. I joined goodreads in June of 2009. My favorite authors are Dean Koontz, Stephen White and of course Tess Gerritsen.

I'd love to re-read some of Gerritsen's Rizzoli/Isles series or medical thrillers once we get some group members to join in discussions :-) I'm looking forward to the new book in the Razzoli/ Isles series which will be released on July 27th 2010!

Thanks for joining Missy! Double the trouble, double the fun! :-) now there's two Tess Gerritsen Fans! Hopefully more fans will join soon. Feel free to add comments or discussion topics :-)

Hi Dustin. Thanks for starting the Gerritsen group. I love her books! I live in Franklin, Tn just south of Nashville and work at a medium sized public library. That makes it easy to get the books when they first come out!

I've worked at a bookstore before. I think working at a library would be better - easier on the pocket book, wallet, or budget - whatever you wanna call it. When I worked in a bookstore a good chunk of my paycheck went to books - it was too tempting! At the library you could check out all the new titles without having to purchase them. At the bookstore, we were allowed to take titles home but I was always afraid of damaging them and having to pay for them.

I might as well work at the Library - it seems I'm involved there enough. I just moved in November and our library is walking distance from our house. I love it! I've bought a few books at the on-going Friends of the Library book sale already. I've suggested titles for purchase & they've bought them already! Our library (Lafayette Public Library) in Colorado, also has a social network - nothing so grand as Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ but it's nice :-) I earned a free book just by commenting in December.

Sometime in the near future I think I might start re-reading the Razzoli/Isles Series or perhaps I'll try reading one of the stand-alone novels. We'll see :-)

Thanks for joining Tom!

ywvm Dustin!

ywvm? is that a secret code? :-) I don't know that one and I can't figure it out :-)

With a teen daughter, I caught on early.
You're Welcome Very Much :)

Ok :-) thanks for the clarification. I obviously don't text ;-)

Welcome Yvonne! Four members now! I'm hoping by the time Ice Cold is released this summer, we will have a nice group of fans so we can have fun discussing the new book :-) I'm going to start re-reading the Razzoli/Isles series soon - starting with The Surgeon - I've ordered the audiobook on CD from the library already :-) I like to get an audiobook and a printed copy whenever possible.

I like those characters; feel like I'm getting to know them quite well.
Thanks for the heads-up on Gerritsen's upcoming book; I hadn't heard of it. Will have to make sure it is on our purchase list.

Welcome to the group Joy! Now we have 5 group members :-)

Welcome Shiela! Now We Are Six (I think that's a title by Milne who wrote Winnie the Pooh :-)

Yep that's the one :-) Our family actually owns a copy of it - was given as a gift by grandma when my son was born because we decorated the baby's room in Winnie the Pooh :-)

Hi there everyone. I am brand new to goodreads and am still finding my way around the place. When I saw there was a group of Tess Gerritsen fans I just had to join. The Surgeon was the first one I read and after loving it I had to start reading some of her other great books

Glad you joined us Sheila! Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ is a great little world :-) Check out our topic Other Groups - maybe there will be something that interests you.

Welcome Sheila!
After finding an author I especially like - like Gerritsen - I usually try to read their work in order. I like seeing the author's character and plot development mature. With Gerritsen, be aware that her earliest work was in the Romance genre, which I skipped.
Glad you're here and that you like Tess' work.

We're just getting started... the more the merrier! :-) This summer is gonna be big for Tess Gerritsen Fans! A new book and a TV series on TNT!

Ummm. I don't think I get TNT on my basic cable... I'll have to look into that, still it's good news for fans of the Razzoli & Isles characters :-)

What will be the name of the series on TNT Dustin? I will be sure and make a point of watching that.

I really miss the The Women's Murder Club when it was canceled, but am enjoying Bones and Castle. Also there was/is a series called Murder by the Book on one of the cable channels. I'm glad the authors are getting a wider fan base so that once people watch the tv shows maybe they will search out the actual books.

Razzoli & Isles :-)

Hi Dustin, thanks for pointing out this site on my facebook page! Wanted to drop in and say hello and say THANK YOU to all my readers!

As for the new TV series, it will be called "Rizzoli & Isles", and it will be premiering on TNT this summer. I don't know the exact time yet, but I'll try to alert everyone when I know. I just watched saw an early version of the pilot episode and it's really scary -- and funny at the same time. I loved it!

Tess

Welcome Tess! Please feel free to stop in anytime and comment :-) Thanks so much for joining the group!

Tess!
Would it be arrogant to welcome you to YOUR group? I am absolutely thrilled to have you here. I've been a faithful reader since reading your first (post romance) novel, and look forward to more. Congrats on the "Rizzoli & Isles" series, who I feel I'm getting to know fairly well. That must be exciting. Will you be able to have much creative input?
Again, thank you.

Tess, I thought you were already on goodreads - I've posted a link to your fan page in another discussion topic called Gerritsen on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ.

Dustin, oddly enough, when I tried to register with Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, I found that there was already a Tess Gerritsen signed in, but she's from a different town in Maine than I am!

sorry, I mispelled Rizzoli in an earlier post :-)

Why does your facebook profile list your current city as Portland but everywhere else it's Camden?

Hi Tess, so nice to have you join us.

Dustin,
I have no idea why it says Portland -- it was my son who signed me up for Facebook, and I think it opted for the nearest large city, which would have been Portland. In the past, I've been a little leery of revealing my hometown (because my hometown is so small) but trust me, this really is me!

Tom, thanks for the welcome!

I live in Inverness, FL, which very few have heard of (or Citrus County for that matter). FB choose Ocala for me if I remember right, as the closest "big city".

I just went onto Facebook and deleted my current city -- just to avoid confusion!

I'm still a bit flummoxed about my other identity here on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. Maybe I signed on ages ago, and just forgot I did. But it's weird that I'd choose "Calais" as my town. Well, whoever signed me up -- thank you!

You can contact Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Admin about having two accounts if you want. The best way to reach them is through the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Feedback group and then message the appropriate person - they respond fairly quickly. :-)

Really, this is great to have you! You already accepted my friend invitation - will you be accepting more goodreads friends? Will you be commenting on our discussions once in a while?

now now Dustin . . . next you'll be asking her age!

Tom wrote: "now now Dustin . . . next you'll be asking her age!"

no, that information is already available online :-)
But really, Tess there's lots of questions I'd love to ask you - I'm sure others would too - I don't mean personal but about your writing :-) Maybe I could set up a discussion thread called "Ask Tess" ?

Tess, I hope I don't scare you away :-) Please stick around! I've gotta sign off for the night - see ya all later! Happy Reading!

Dustin, I'll try to keep up -- but I"m still learning to navigate this site and am not always sure where to look for stuff.

I remember the feeling. I joined GR last June - If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message (just click on my profile picture and there is a send message option on my GR profile) I'll try not to bug you too much more and let you settle in :-)

Thank you for this group. I just read three of Tess's books. They were great. I read The Surgeon, The Sinner, and Body Double. I live in Alabama. Will be getting more books from our library soon.

We're more than happy to have you :-) so, you did that interview with Tess? It was an awesome interview. I've added you as a friend on goodreads but there's currently a little glitch so I can't view your profile :-)

Glitch fixed. Yay!

:-)Welcome Terri!

Thanks very much - glad to be here. I've been reading Tess for awhile now and it's very exciting to see that she is a member of the group.

I'm originally from Ohio, but currently reside in GA. I am a hopeless entertainment junkie . . . books, music, movies, TV.

Ah, Colorful Colorado, such a beautiful state. I was in Denver for a software convention in November of 2008 - I almost didn't come home:-)
