I am a SAHM who is also a freelance
journalist. I have been a book reviewer
for the Times Record News in Wichita
Falls for the past six years, and was
also a reviewer for Bookbrowser.com
until they were bought up by Barnes &
Noble. I look forward to reviewing for
TBR.
My favorite reads are cozy mysteries,
romances, and women's fiction.
