Red Ribbon From Millicent Ashby Red Ribbon From Millicent Ashby Red Ribbon From Jeannie Walker Red Ribbon From James Barney

About Me:: I have enjoyed a lifelong love of reading. My younger brother and I spent hours in our grandfather’s lap while he would read to us. I have never outgrown my special love of Science Fiction and Fantasy stories and doubt I ever will although my overall reading tastes today are really quite diverse. I like to have a variety of books in different genres on hand so I can always have a book available to match my mood.

When writing reviews, I make the effort to give my personal, honest appraisal of the book without giving away any particulars of the story line. My goal is to provide valuable information from a fresh, candid view point that will help the perspective purchaser make an informed decision.

I like reads which flow smoothly and logically from one point to the next. I like authors who take me into their worlds; who can cast the line and hook me with their ideas. I'll go almost anywhere in my imagination through books but the author must set it up and make it believable.

I am retired from Verizon Communications where I mostly worked as the Senior Accountant handling Employee Benefits in Corporate Books. Through the years I assisted and/or worked with various teams writing policies, procedures and LOTS of responses to Audit questions. This experience has been beneficial to my review writing skill-set since I am accustomed to writing concise and specific narratives.

I'm new to book blogs and would like to send you a review request. What's the best way to contact you? I've written a paranormal romance for young adults with a sci-fi edge entitled, Being, about about a female extraterrestrial whose ship crashes outside Lancaster, CA, after colliding with space trash orbiting Earth.
