As a mom of three teenage boys and 4 spoiled cats, (or is that 4 teenage cats and 3 spoiled boys?) and a full-time adult education teacher, I have little free time. What time I do find - I spend with my nose in a book - any book, contrary to the opinion of some of my friends who refer to me as a book snob! I'm willing to try any genre - as long as the author can keep my interest and weave a good tale.

My husband and I used to own an independent bookstore but were forced to close due to poor sales. Will I try the dream again? Probably. It's an addiction..what can I say?
