Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

I want to build up a data base of Australian authors who are also Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ author members. It gives you a chance to get to know each other if you haven't already met and it gives us (your avid reading public!) a chance to try some homegrown talent. I'll add more authors as I meet them but feel free to add your own names to this thread.

My Pleasure!

Would you add me please to your authors' list, Mandy.

Anna Jacobs (who also used to write as Shannah Jay), 50 novels published and still counting.



I find it very difficult to find myself as an author on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. If anyone can give me a useful URL, I'd be grateful. I find the Author program/dashboard immensely confusing. I can write novels, but oooh, technology sometimes 'bamfoozles' me.

Hi Anna,

Is this the URL you're looking for: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/237098.Anna_Jacobs?

From there you should be able to edit your profile data etc.

Cheers
Vicki

It is hard to keep up with the technology these days Anna! I've added a link to your Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author Page and your website address.:)

I would love to be added to this list, Mandy!



I've just joined your group, which seems very buzzy.
Thank you for shelving my books.

Mandy, you are such a busy and passionate person with this site. I've just magically been given author status as well, even though I have only one book.

Although I haven't had much time on the web in the past week, I am enjoying my brief visits to the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ site.

Done! I really like the look of Ferryman Carole. It's got some great reviews. I can see I'm going to have to add it to my to buy list.:)

Thanks Mandy, that's made my day!

Mandy, can you add Denise Rosetti . She's on both our friends' list. LOL.

How could I forget Denise!

Mandy, I know you invited me to join the group ages ago - well, a month or so! Finally made it here. Please add my two writing names to the list of Aussie writers.

I wrote The Pirate And The Puritan as Mary Clayton, and Blueprint For Love (set in Oz, hooray) as Monya Clayton.

Thanks for going to the trouble of doing this for us.

Regards - Monya Mary

Whoops, I don't have a website - oldish and technologically challenged. But I do have a blog - not added to often enough. Old = Slow.

Thanks for that link Dean. I love the way some authors now have a 'soundtrack' they listened to and received inspiration from as they were writing their books.

Hi, could you add me please my first book Happy Birthday, Nancy Tobin came out two days ago. Thanks :)

Hi Mandy, I've had 3 children's books published.
Jenny:)

Thanks Ladies! I've added your link Lillian. Where's your photo on your author page? (sorry I'm very nosy.;D)

Jenny do you have a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ author page?

Hey Mandy

I don't have a picture of me because I'm incognito. Lillian is my pen name. I work in a very uptight profession so I like to keep my identity as a published erotic romance author a secret. :)

Lillian wrote: "Hey Mandy

Oh yes, fully understood!:) One of our authors, Jacqueline George has a great 'incognito' sort of picture that I love:

Not quite sure how to go about getting a GR authors' page, Mandy.

Jenny wrote: "Not quite sure how to go about getting a GR authors' page, Mandy."

Mark gave instructions in another thread. I will try and find it for you.

Jenny wrote: "Not quite sure how to go about getting a GR authors' page, Mandy."

To get a page you just have to add your published book(s) to Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. You need librarian status to add a book, but that is easy to get. Follow this link: http://www.goodreads.com/about/apply_...
If you are uncertain about adding your book just send me a private email with a link to the book's info on the web (e.g. publisher page or your personal website) and I can do it for you.

Once you add your book an author page is automatically created!

Jenny, follow this link and it will tell you how to use your goodreads author page.

Hope this helps.:)

Thanks Mandy, and Gail. Will have a fiddle and see what happens.

Laurel I'd love to add you!! And I've put your books on our shelf. Thanks for reminding me.:D

Hello! May I be added to your list,too?

:-)

Mandy,
Although I am an Oz by choice, naturalised in '85, am I acceptable as an Oz author if the subject of my novel has nothing to do with Australia ?
If I am allowed to join put me down with this link for Ice King.

Thanks for adding Ice King to the book shelf. :-o)

Nice to meet you Lia! Your book The Fortunes of Ruby White looks really fascinating. I put it under general fiction in our group bookshelf but it looks like it might have aspects of a thriller or maybe even some romance in it as well.:)

Yes of course Geoff! We all migrated here at some point or another. I'll add your name with pleasure.:)

P.S. I usually just add the link to your Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ page. Are you intending to add your website and bio etc to your GR page?

Sorry, didn't realise - the link to Ice King is on my web site, which is on my Goodread profile.
