First off please tell the readers a
bit about yourself, please.
Well after spending a lifetime working in or with the
military I finally had made enough to sit back and do as much (or as little) as
I wanted to and since I had always been an avid reader the jump to making it
one of my major pastimes was easy. I
have traveled all over the world, been to the top of the Eiffel Tower and to
the Devil’s Anvil in Saudi Arabia, been on top of the highest mountain in the
Middle East and the lowest in the USA. No
complaints here, I have read many different genres over the years but stumbled
into Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy after many years of reading mostly books
in the Fantasy genre. Found out I liked
books that did not spend pages and chapters telling the color of grass and the
feel of a rock, I wanted a good story about people of action and feeling that
did not always end up in some tragedy. I
have been married (somehow) for 30+ years and have 3 daughters and one son (who
is presently in the Mideast working for the military, runs in the family).
Besides reading what do you like to
do in your spare time?
To be honest other than reading and doing those myriad
tasks that come with living in a home I spend a bit of time honing my weapon
skills. I always felt that people should
be able to defend themselves but people that did not take the time to get
skilled in weapons were a danger to people around them. I go to the range and take my daughters most
of the time (and my son if he is in country) so they do not fall into that
category of victims who did not know how to defend themselves with a weapon.
What the hardest thing to do when it
comes to reviewing a book?
It is hard to write an average review, you know what you
really like and you know what you really hate, but trying to write a 3 star
review is harder for me. The other side
is also when you become enthralled with a series that is SO good you have a
hard time being unbiased and trying to figure out if that last book in the
series you just gave a 5 star rating was really much less because many times
you are so in love with your mental image of series itself. (Dark-Hunters anyone?)
