I work with numbers (I'm an accountant), but I love words! I'm a reading addict, and I also love writing about reading (and plenty of other stuff) on my blog. I'm afraid of running out of books to read, so I currently have somewhere between 150 and 200 books in "TBR Purgatory" on LibraryThing.
Somehow, in between reading and writing, I have to make time for my husband, kids, dog, job, extended family, and all that other stuff of life :-).
I see that you’re a dog lover, and so I thought you might be interested in a dog rescue-related book project I'm working on.
I’m raising awareness about puppy mills and supporting dog rescue groups by publishing breed-specific and region-specific books full of stories about adopted dogs. The books give proud owners of adopted dogs a chance to showcase them, raise awareness about dog adoption and breed characteristics, and generate funding for dog rescue through the donation of a portion of each sale. “Lost Souls: FOUND! Inspirational Stories of Adopted Boston Terriers” and "Lost Souls: FOUND! Inspiring Stories About Golden Retrievers" are already available on Amazon.com, and it's possible that by the end of the year we'll have also published books on Labs, Dachshunds and Pit Bulls.
The stories submitted for the books are truly thought-provoking; they’re a good read for any dog lover. We are currently selling books and collecting stories from anyone who has a great one about their adopted dog. Is there anything you can do to help us spread the word?
More information can be found at http://happytailsbooks.com, and a sneak preview of the Golden Retriever book is at http://happytailsbooks.com/images/Golden_Retriever_Book_Preview.pdf.
Hi Florinda, I want to introduce you to you my debut novel "A Circle of souls" which is a murder, mystery, psychological thriller and a tale of justice and hope. I was wondering if you would like to review my book for your blog or sites such as Amazon. Do visit www.acircleofsouls.com to read more about the book.

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
