		<description>My first novel beyond the classic variety was "Guilty Pleasures." And toting around this very suggestive cover gave me a bit of guilty pleasure in itself!</description>

I way to comment on the "Cloud Dancer" blurb on your website.

"Alone and bitter, the beautiful maiden learned the fierce Apache ways of her lost love White Hawk and vowed never to kneel before the enemy again. Spirit Warrior White Hawk was still very much alive. And his heart knew boundless joy when he found Cloud Dancer had not perished in the massacre of her people."

This is a prime example of the kind of Romance that I mock to no end. I agree that any reading is positive, but there are some books that are simply a waste of time when one could be reading something of actual quality. To me, Romance books are books that lacked enough plot to be shelved in the Fiction section. As I can think of nothing to say that will not simply offend you more, I bid you a good day and thank you for sharing your insights.</description>

Thank you, dear! Glad you like BB. :D

It's a rare moment when I don't have a specific book to look for, because I'm always getting great recommendations from my reader friends, but sometimes I do like to simply wander a book store, and pull out a book at random to check out the cover art and back blurb. I've found a couple of great gems with this method!</description>

		<description>I completely agree with you about the romance novels. I never pick them up. I usually buy books after they are recommended by any number of book loving friends or I've come across something interesting on the internet about a certain book. When I have no titles of interest I go to my favorite section in my store of choice and check out some covers. I usually shy away from some of the more unappealing ones but I always give a look to the description on the back before I completely pass one up. Covers are incredibly important though. I shudder at what some writers were thinking when they chose theirs. 
    I love your writing style by the way. It's very interesting. Can't wait to read more!</description>
