KevianLiley (Bournemouth)

I work across Dorset as an AI Consultant and have been writing books since 2007. I have published over 100 books on Amazon Kindle and have an author page on Waterstones online book store. I am an author with real creative output. I publish my work at www.kevianbooks.com . I write both fiction and non fiction. I plan long form work with clear structure and intent. I focus on future technology, society, consciousness, and narrative depth. My author experience includes: • Writing multiple book projects with defined chapter goals, structure, and themes. • Completing long form work with clear progression and continuity. • Managing my own author website as a professional portfolio. • Exploring complex subjects such as simulation theory, neural networks, AI, and future societies. • Writing across fiction and non fiction without losing clarity or voice. • Building detailed chapter outlines and summaries before full drafts. • Researching AI Technology and publishing AI Books. • Publishing consistently and developing my craft over time. I combine creative writing with analytical thinking. I focus on clarity when handling complex ideas. My work reflects discipline, range, and long term commitment to writing.

Sarah (Sherborne)

I moved to the area 6 months ago and have thought about joining a book club for a while. Im no literary nerd, but do love getting lost in 'can't put the book down' zone! It would also be great to meet some like minds. I enjoy a range of genres (except si-fi and pass on anything horror/violence related) just arrived today H is for Hawk. When I'm not working, I enjoy long walks with the dog, yoga, rowing, dancing and eating good food and 🍷 I hope by joining a book club it would also motivate me to read more and introduce me to new authors.

Fio (Bournemouth)

Hi, I’m Fio! I’m 21 and love all things horror, thriller, mystery and yes a little romantasy too. I read non-fiction now and then, mostly psychology or self help but i’m open to anything, so please do send recommendations! I also love true crime and I’m a big movie-buff. So if you like debating theories, chatting about true crime and mysteries or just want someone to share some books and movies with, lets chat! (Leeds and Bournemouth based but happy to have online book chatting!)

Mina (Bournemouth)

I'm looking for some reader friends, and maybe a book club! My favourite genre is fantasy (just read The Way of Kings!!) but I like reading sci-fi, dystopian, lit-fic and tbh a little bit of everything. Happy to try anything! Some of my goals for this year are to find a romance author I like and to try some historical fiction. I'm 24 and looking for people vaguely around my age so send me a message if you want to have a chat :))

J Anna (Dorchester)

I live just outside of Dorchester. I enjoy all sorts of books, but really love quite dark and beautifully written books, and stories with complex characters. My favourite book of all time is The Secret History by Donna Tartt, which I've read over 10 times. I am hoping joining a book club could introduce me to something different. Mostly, though, I'd like to find a like-minded group to share my passion for reading.

I love the series so much, the way the writer makes you think you know what will happen but then it changes last minute to something very unexpected, it keeps you hooked up.
