Hello, all.  I'd love to throw my name in the hat for consideration.  I've been looking for feedback on my debut novel, Secrets in the Shadows.  Just let me know if anyone is interested and what I need to do to participate.  The book is available in paperback format as well as ebook through Kindle and Smashwords.  Here's the Kindle Link:  Secrets In The Shadows Kindle Edition

And Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/12086.


Regards,

Hey T.L.,
     I have the same question.  I'd love to be an Author to Read With (though I fear I'll need a bigger following before I would qualify  Undecided).  Let me know if you find out!

Hello--

  I would like to post a series of short stories at regular intervals and see if I get a following. I have a good 35 solid mystery/detective and science fiction short stories of varying length, none over 5k words. I also have two novels on kindle [url=http://A Felony of Birds]A Felony of Birds[/url] and [url=http://The Greer Agency]The Greer Agency[/url]. A Felony of Birds is available for a chapter by chapter telling on this site. Let me know which approach you prefer.

Thanks,

Harris Tobias

Harris--

If you're asking about our Reading With the Author Book Klubs, all of our Book Klubs (whether with the author or not) are based on member interest.   After you have been a member here for awhile, and as you participate here on KindleBoards, we'll get an idea of member interest in your books/stories.  I'll add you to the list of authors who have expressed an interest.

Thanks for your interest in being a Reading With the Author author.  Cheesy

Thanks, Bryan,

I'll add you to the long list of interested candidates.

For the record, our RWTA clubs are driven not only by author interest, but especially by member interest.  We do the books that members tell us they want to read.  So develop a following!  Keep your book thread up to date, and wander off into the other parts of the forum and post, as time permits.  (But no book promotion outside the Book Bazaar, please.)  Grin

I'd like to throw One Insular Tahiti into the ring. If/when there is enough interest, i think it would be a really fun experience. Especially since I'm expecting Santa to bring me a Kindle. I've been veerrry good

Hi, I am an author with several books available on Kindle.  I have been looking for a book club to participate with and would love to be an Author to Read With.  I realize there are a lot of us asking for that, but I would love to be added to the list.

My name is Bryan Alaspa, and you can find all of my books online or via my website www.bryanwalaspa.com.  I just published a new thriller and mostly write suspense, thriller and horror stories. 

Of course, if I am also in the wrong place, let me know!

Thanks,
Bryan

I would also love to participate in the Reading With the Author program, as I'm sure most of us authors would. I write under two names. My real name Morgan St. James as co-author of the comical crime capers of the Silver Sisters Mysteries and many short stories in anthologies. I also have a single author anthology, Women on the Edge that is only available as Kindle or ebook. All of my others are available in paperback, Kindle, ebooks, audio CDs and MP3 downloads.

I also write as Arliss Adams with two romantic suspense novels currently in print and in all other formats: Devil's Dance and The Devil's Due.

What's the next step? A new Silver Sisters Mystery will be released later this year. It would be fun to have it in this program.

I'd like to add "Don't Call Me 'Baby'" to the list. It's a contemporary erotic novel set in the go-go 1980s. My book was just accepted by Naughty Nights Press, and I expect it to go live in the fall. So I want get a jump here and develop more interest so that my book has a shot at Reading With The Author by the time it comes out. Smiley
