| Introduction | I'm addicted to reading. My neglected house, overly cuddled cats, and exasperated husband can all attest to it. Several years ago I decided it would be beneficial for everyone if I could spin my love of reading into a financially profitable endeavor, so I pursued being a writer. And while I enjoy writing and have talent in some aspects, I seem to lack a little something in the way of follow through. And creativity. Oops. Fortunately that road funnelled me into an area where my strengths can really have a field day, which is editing (where 'picky' is a good thing!) My editing company, Romance Refined, is thriving, and I'm happy to be working in Romanceland. |
