This blog is a voluntary, part-time effort written by a passionate reader who loves to share that passion with others. Read my about me page to get a tad bit more personal.
UPDATE MARCH 2012: I AM CURRENTLY NOT CONSIDERING PITCHES OR ACCEPTING REVIEW COPIES OF ANY BOOKS. SERIOUSLY. I STILL GET EMAILS EVERY DAY ASKING FOR EXCEPTIONS. NO. I WILL NOT.
AND DID YOU NOT NOTICE THAT THIS BLOG HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED FOR NEARLY A YEAR? THAT SHOULD BE A SIGN TO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH ME RIGHT NO.AND NO. NO AUTHOR INTERVIEWS. NO TELLING MY READERS ABOUT YOUR PRESS RELEASE.
WHEN I START BLOGGING AGAIN, I WILL UPDATE THIS INFORMATION. AND SORRY FOR THE CAPS, BUT I SWEAR PEOPLE AREN’T READING THIS.
