My love of reading has led me into the publishing field.

I do not write books... But I've started two open memoirs as I am inspired... on my blog Book Readers Heaven
But I do a lot of writing!
I am a professional book reviewer.
I've also written short stories, poetry, mostly in response to others words that have affected me, since I have no real training in poetry (I do not review poetry except as discussed with the author), articles in trade magazines, as well as business manuscripts...
A number of years ago, before the present review process was developed, the AD director at that time asked me to provide book reviews for members. I did that for a number of years, but had to stop due to four major health surgeries, the last being cataract removal from both eyes. As a result I am no longer able to read print books given the size of print now being used by publishers. However, I'm now back to reviewing ebooks routinely...
Birth Place: McClellandtown, PA United States
Accomplishments: My greatest achievements are when an author is able to come back to me with a thank you for helping!
