About this author

Raised in Philadelphia, Pa., I have a business degree in Business Administration, have worked in retail banking, telecommunications, and defense IT consulting. I'm married and have two adult children. That's on a serious note.

What else to note?

Well, I read books. Write books. Critique books. Review books. I babble on and on about books. I like books. Love books. And I publish books. My tastes are eclectic. Mystery, sci-fi, romance, chic-lit, literature, non-fiction, memoirs... it's only the story that counts. Come visit my blog sometime... when you have time. Take a peek around, sight-see, enjoy, check out what's behind the book flirt.

by Stella Maddox (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
I opened the book and liked the book. Snarky, but intellectually satircal-based writing at the start often holds my interest.

Very beautiful and easy on the eyes memoir to read. It's courageous, classy, full of charisma, charming in fact, and oh yes, weaved into Jessica's story made Natalie's experience as inspirational as it was inseparable!

Also, I list as much Harlequin news and author news as I can so be sure to watch for my updates.

Happy reading,

RYCJ Hi Jesse,
I'll add your book to my list. I certainly am impressed by some of the reviews I've read written by you. It tells me I'll likely enjoy Song of George.
Rhonda

Jesse Hanson Dear RYCJ, It's very nice to be included on your friends list here on goodreads. I'm quite impressed by your reading list as well as the samples of your own work. I hope you won't mind if I ask you to consider my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man for your reading list. It's fiction but is inspired by my own experiences.
Best wishes in all, Namaste, jesse
