I'm an editor who lives and works in the lovely Sacramento area. Former English major, grammar nut and book addict! Words are my everything. I know more books and know them better than I know people. Words can make my heart stop; words can make me stop breathing. They are my nearest and most loyal companions.

I'll read most things, but... more »

    Greetings Shelfari friend!

    Haven't been around much recently, too busy with life!

    How are things with you?

    Read anything good recently?

    I'm on my 75th book so far this year!

    Hope all is well...

    I just read "For The Thrill of It" and wondered what others thought. Do you think the verdict the judge handed down was the right one? I can't believe they did not go to the gallows!

    Did you like "The Dead Travel Fast" because I loved it......just like I loved "Stiff". Since it's on your shelf, just wondering your opinion!

    Hi There, My name is Aliza. Wanted to extend an invitation to you to join a group I started recently Meditation and Inspiration. If you wish to take some time to red the shares maybe you like it. You have a great shelf we have books in common. Veronica Decides to Die is one of my favorite books, and I am reading Like Water for Chocolate at this time. Love it it is delightful. Peace to you. Aliza

    Dear Kestrien: I hope my intorductory words don't stop your breatjing. You won't be able to read the rest of this. I am an author, so I obviously like words, too. Especially when they create great stories. My debut novel HUNTING THE KING came out in April. It's definitely a page turner. The novel revolves around a charismatic young woman named Molly O’Dwyer. Molly was five years old when she witnessed her mother die in a fire. She never knew her father. After her mother’s death, she was raised on the campus of a Jesuit college. Now an archaeologist, she has been recruited to participate on a dig in war torn Iraq. As a scientist she is compelled to discover whatever or whoever is buried under the sands of ancient Babylon. As an observant Catholic, she is scared that whatever she finds will have devastating consequences for her faith. There is a wonderful YouTube book trailer well worth watching if you have the chance. If you do get to see, please let me know what you think. Thanks. Peter

    Aloha from Kauai,

    I lived in Citrus Heights before moving to Kauai.

    I grew up in the Sacramento River Delta and will be returning Oct. 10th for a Book Signing at the Rio Vista library. My thriller, River Bones, takes place in the Delta.

    Cheers,
    Mary

    Glad to see there are still plenty of Da Vinci Code haters left in the world!
