I began reviewing in 1996 and have
since been reviewing for a number of on
line and print publications.
I have been married for 28 years and
have two children, the youngest who is
leaving for college. I am an in-school
suspension teacher in a middle school
and help to coach girls basketball. I
love to read, research history, swim
and do genealogy but reading Romance
and history are my great love.
