Ponderings, Politics and Prose

One of the great things about being a writer and being part of several writers' groups is the chance to read a lot! Right now, I have the privilege of being an alpha reader for Tamara L. Waters and a beta reader for Rissa Watkins.

I've also recently added book reviewing to my myriad of skills -- like I needed another excuse to read.

But I did discover that many of my favorite authors, including Laura Benedict, do book reviews. Michelle L. Devon mentioned, in her continuing font of good advice, that it is yet another way to gain exposure for my own writing. Plus, it means I get some really awesome books as review copies. Cool, huh?

If you know me, then you know I'm something of a political junkie, so politics and random thoughts may also show up here. My politics are usually pretty middle of the road, which means I am almost always offending someone. I listen, on occasion, to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, though I rarely agree with either of them. I listen largely because I think the world would be a pretty dull place if we all agreed all the time. If you don't know me, that's even more cool. Welcome to my site.

I believe, above all else, that education comes through the exchange of ideas and I invite you to become educated with me. This blog will talk about whatever interests me at the moment, which can be flighty or serious, fun or silly. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
