Flora Bell
I'm a housewife in mid-age crisis who
lives in the country with 12 cats, 4
dogs, some cows, a husband and a kid.
I read about a book a day--romance (all
genres), science fiction, westerns, and
mysteries top my favorites list. I
write reviews now and then and have no
real desire to write anything else.
