The comments and suggestions received via private message are appreciated and have all received a timely response. However, I would prefer that readers post their comments, suggestions, questions, and critiques in the area provided at the end of each blog post so that they are visible to other followers of the blog who may wish to add to or respond to them. Thank you.
No book reviews are ever posted on this blog. Do not interpret a rejection of an offer of a free book for a review as a personal slight; there is no selection process. Any book I read is purchased from a vendor or borrowed from the local library. If curious, my reviews may be accessed via the My Books section of my Goodreads profile.
