Where to Find Books by BookCrossing Authors?

A solution is on the way!

Within the worldwide scope of BookCrossing is an amazingly large number of members who are published authors. They are published in many languages and many genres. Also within the global BookCrossing community are readers who have wanted to purchase books by BookCrossing authors. Until now, there have been problems getting the authors together with the buyers.

TexasWren has graciously volunteered to add a link to her wonderful website www.texaswren.com, which will list BC authors and their book(s). It has been my privilege to research and compile the initial listing which will soon be posted there.

The listing is currently limited to books written in English or with an English translation. TexasWren is eagerly anticipating that comparable lists will be compiled and submitted in other languages. If you would like to undertake a similar project in a language other than English, she would like to hear from you. You may send her a private message (PM) or send her an email through her website.

If you are an author and would like to have your book(s) listed on the site, please send me a PM. A draft of the listing is also available through several forums (chit-chat, book talk, announcements and activists only). If you would like your book included in the listing, please post in one of these threads or PM me with your BookCrossing screen name and the title of your book(s). Including your real name is optional but encouraged.

This project has created a win-win-win situation for BookCrossing, BookCrossers and authors. Please contribute and enjoy!
