Alexxmomcat
When not working, I am an aspiring author,avid book collector, reader & reviewer. I look for stories with well-developed characters, including heroes that I can empathize with, and villains that I can readily despise. Whether or not a story is HEA or HFN, if the characters don’t reach out and grab me, the ending really does not matter.I have no qualms about noting poor editing or proof-reading in one of my reviews. I enjoy book signings, and blogging and chatting with authors.
