I own a business with my husband, Jeremy, who is a sort of classic car arteest. Check out our other action on the "Cool, Man" page. We have four crazy, fun kids.
I am writing a book! A paranormal fantasy, of course - a faerytale retelling. In October 2012 I won 2nd place in a short story contest. *Eeep!* Read my creation on the Winners Post.
I am happy to review books & I accept pdf and epub as well as print copies. I don't post books I don't finish. (DNF) I post my reviews on Colorimetry, Goodreads, Amazon, LibraryThing, Facebook, Twitter, Barnes & Noble, BookSneeze, The Christian Bookstore, Shelfari, Edelweiss, NetGalley etc. I am not able to accept as many books as I'd like to.
My Rating system:
5.5 - Instant Reread. 5 - Love It! 4.5 - Great! 4 - Pretty Darn Good. 3.5 - Worth the Time. 3 - Cute. 2.5 – Meh 2 – Not My Cup of Tea 1. 5 – Confusing 1 – PainfulI also highlight books as I have time. I am interested in Author-Interviews with Giveaways. I enjoy promoting books including Indie & Small Press Authors. I receive more requests than I can respond to for reviewing and highlighting & I'm scheduling 2-4 months out. A new option is Prism Book Tours. I offer the same attention to detail & personality while coordinating a larger promotion.
