What you do for work outside of blogging?
Well, in my everyday life I am a Spanish teacher for a middle school in Alabama. I have been teaching for 15 years and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences.
I am also married and have a beautiful daughter.
Besides reading...I love photography, spending time with my family and friends, watching movies or my favorite TV shows.
What you do besides blogging in the literary world (editing,
book reviewing, etc…)?
Besides blogging, I do reviews and I beta read at times...
What’s the one thing you feel you’ve gained by doing the
above?
Being in this community and being able to review or beta read has allowed me to make some amazing friends. It has also strengthened me as a reader in my opinion.
How did you find Utopia?
I found Utopia through some of my favorite authors. I was watching them attend the very first one and man, I wanted to go so bad. So, the very next year, I made sure I was there.
What did you learn or gain at Utopia that you don’t feel you
would’ve gotten anywhere else?
When I first attended Utopia, I found a camaraderie among authors and readers that I haven't really seen at other Cons. Not to say that it isn't there at others, it's just that it felt like a family...
What’s one thing you’d like to see folks in the literary
world do (together or separately)?
I would love to see people get over their bias and bullying. Aren't we all just readers who want to fall in love with a book and to just escape in to the world that was created in it's pages?? Why do we have to put down what someone else is reading just because it may be something we disagree with or wouldn't read?
How do you feel you contribute to the writer world at large?
I think I contribute to the writer world by giving feedback on the books that I have read. Letting authors know what I love and what I may not have liked as much.
What’s your ultimate blogging goal?
For me...blogging allows me a way to express and show my admiration for the books that I love. My ultimate goal really is to just be able to continue doing that...
