Nine years ago, frustrated and unhappy
with my career choice, I went into my
favorite bookstore, Rainy Day Books,
to find the perfect romance. There was
a part time job opening and I snapped
up the opportunity. My husband agreed
to my drastic paycut: after all he was
going to reap the rewards of having a
happy spouse. Working at Rainy Day
Books has been aa wonderful journey. I
met Tanzey Cutter at the store and a
rewarding friendship has developed.
She offered my the chance to write in
her newsletter and in the Best
Reviews. It is amazing how finding
your niche makes life much more
enriching!
