What happens when you put farscape fans, Stargate fans, star trek and star fans all under the same roof with comic book fans and fantasy fans and even..*gasp*...science fiction writers?????? Answer: They all sit down and talk about scifi. Join us!

This group is for those who love fantasy, supernatural and paranormal romance. Some of my favorites are Anne Rice, Charlaine Harris, Karen Moning, J.R. Ward. We will read and discuss a different novel. We can also discuss lore, legend and non-fiction as well. Our bookclub meetings  are informal and all opinions on the books we choose are welcome. At the end of each meetup, we'll decide what to read next.

We toil in obscurity, trying to write the next great historical novel. Or maybe just the *next* historical novel. Few who have not tried it understand the woes of the historical writer: you do not know your world as well as a writer of contemporary stories, and yet you are not as free to invent it as a fantasy or sci-fi writer would be. Still, there is something uniquely satisfying in transporting readers to a different time, or using real events and places as a backdrop for a story that gives t …

I enjoy reading a lot of serious books. But, I also enjoy reading urban fiction. I love the drama, the dealings, the thug romances and the swagger. I am looking for like minded people who would enjoy picking a book every month that we can all read and then get together and talk about it

I started this group to get in contact with other writers that live in the New York City area. It's nice to meet people who love to write! I want this to be a good community of writers who also would like to share their work and get feedback from others (no pressure). Also it is nice to meet for coffee and discussions, or just if you need someone to knock you out of Writer's Block/bounce ideas off of.
