Thank you.
Now that I am retired from real estate sales and have discretionary
time I am working my way back to writing. Book reviews are good
practice.
Homestead list members who appreciate reviews will profit from this
endeavor as our interests coincide. So, while I was raised to be
modest, self-effacing, and not be pushy, I think this is a win-win
deal for members. If I can in fact find a way to get advance reading
copies because of my reviews you will have early warning of books that
may be of interest.
