    <about><![CDATA[I started editing books back in the 70's for Vantage Press in NYC.  I was a part time freelancer while I was trying to figure out what to do with my life.  I finally decided to go back to school and study music.  After a long hard trek as a singer/songwriter/musician/audio engineer/music teacher and single mom, I fell back into freelance book editing. I rediscovered how much I truly loved editing a good story, especially teaching unpublished authors how to craft their stories and improve their creative writing skills.  <br/><br/>Now I have so many ideas for books, that I'm writing 3 books at one time and creating time to make it all happen and keep up with my kids, my exercise and my wonderful paying job as an editor/ghostwriter.  Life is good. ]]></about>

          <body><![CDATA[The most amazing thing about re-reading this book is to understand that in order to make somebody into a more ethical person, you have to understand the basic mechanism of what makes a person do bad things and how to handle him so that he realizes HIMSELF that those bad things are bad.

          <body><![CDATA[Great recipe book for those interested in improving their nutrition with raw food.  What I like about Carol is that she's not a raw food zealot.  She just wants people to improve their diets and gives you some super yummy suggestions on how that can be accomplished.  ]]></body>
