    Having someone who is experienced in literature like yourself going through independent authors can be an incredibly valuable resource. I’m not looking for the “free” stuff, but someone to accurately rate products out there not associated with the big sellers.

    Love your bio! The word “inflict” certainly rings true when considering my own propensity for bashing others over the head with what I feel are great books!

    Thanks for reading my blog and your comment. I’m very influenced by North American and Canadian writers – Carol Shields, Margaret Atwood, Anne Tyler and Suzanne Berne who I was lucky enough to have as a tutor on an Arvon Course here in the UK.

      Hurray for the Canadian Margarets–Atwood and Laurence–and Alice Munro, too. Stone Diaries is on my “to read” list. It’s amazing to me to witness how a geographic place can influence what we have to say, which is why your blog interests me. I, for one, would also be interested in a post or two about Arvon.

    I was wondering if you could take a look at my MeeGenius contest entry and let me know what you think. Honest feedback is excellent. Thanks and looking forward to more of your posts!

    Great bio! :-) I’m an educator, an American living in Canada and a children’s literature buff. :-) I’d like to think my taste in books is discerning. Are you on GoodReads?

    what a great blog! Very informative and witty. I love your undercover approach. And I’m happy to hear that you still consider yourself a Canadian. I can’t believe you never told me about it before.
    happy new year!!!
