Extended Profile
Instead of writing reviews of the books I release I pick a quote which I think will give an impression of the book - the subject matter and the writing. The books I release are not my favourites - I cannot release those because they are my friends (unless
I have a spare one) and I keep them to read again. But one day, of course, they will move on into someone else's life.
