    <about><![CDATA[(You can skip reading this if you just go check out my website, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.loriwhitwam.com!">http://www.loriwhitwam.com!</a>)<br/>My first &quot;real&quot; job was 7 years working in the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library (Eagle Branch, GO EAGLETS!), where I met some of the best friends I've ever had.  I also worked for a year in the Anoka County system after moving to Minnesota, before following my &quot;other&quot; love, and have now been in veterinary hospital administration for 10 years.  I read a bit of everything fiction.  I seldom read non-fiction, even if the topic fascinates me.  I read mysteries, techno-thriller, horror, vampire/werewolf/occult, fantasy, humor, chick-lit, nearly everything but hard core sci fi or the intense contemporary &quot;life crisis/epic&quot; stuff.  Life is hard enough, so I don't need my guts wrenched out by someone else's fictitious agony.  Mainly, outside books, my life revolves around my dogs (three big beautiful boys) and husband of 26 years, and writing. Hopefully you'll be able to list and review MY book on here in the not-too-distant future!]]></about>
