About this author

I am mostly a reader, reviewer, and social media coach.

My taste in reading is eclectic, romance, sci fi, fantasy, mystery,suspense, YA, paranormal, urban fantasy. Prefer to stay away from graphic sex, violence, and language but find my tastes expanding.

As a coach i work 1- on-one to teach people how to brand themselves and how to use social media effectively.

Currently I am co-authoring a book about Jewish vampires to be released in 2013 as an e-book. This will be my 1st fiction. I'm writing a short story along the same theme to be released in 2012.

I have written a number of computer manuals and managed a tech writing group as well as editing others work for 20 years. Tasha Turner is my Pen Name and has become my professional name also by d...more

“Jewish vampires: blood can’t be kosher… can it?”
Tasha Turner

“Sometimes girls, especially those whose tastes aren't routine, don't get a fair break. Too many of us have been bred to timidity. That is why those who escape must run, not stroll, toward what they desire. They mustn't look back. They mustn't question their own instincts. And they mustn't listen to the naysayers. If they can only follow their own true course, well then, they will be as renowned for their bravery as the greatest men are.”
Chandra Prasad

“I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.”
Amelia Earhart

“Dogs get after big living. They seem illiterate of worry, yet able to read joys that elude us. They quietly shout to us: Wag your backside to music instead of your tongue to malice.”
Michael Cogdill

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours”
Alan Bennett, The History Boys

Tasha Turner I'm way behind on typing up reviews I have close to 30 books to take my notes and turn them into GR reviews... Ouch I need to do better at staying on top of them. I've read some good books and some not so good but nothing really bad.


message 5: by Tasha

Tasha Turner After weeks or even over a month all my library books on hold came in. That's about 15 books to read and review not including other books I've committed to review. Wheee time to really hide in the bedroom and read. Who is making sure I eat and drink enough water?

Thanks I had fun creating them and finally remembered to copy them over here from my blog. I guess I won't be putting a warning "no coffee harmed while creating these quotes"...
