My first review was published a couple of days ago. Since then I've read that book's sequel and will be reviewing it today. I have one more book in that trilogy to read and review before I move on to another book that's sitting in my living room. And two more books are already on the way. At least now when Dave sees me reading I can tell him I'm working!
Since I retain all copyrights to the reviews I can post them here too. Here's the first one:
Fish of Souls
Author: Gary Williams
Publisher: Infinity Publishing.com
ISBN: 9780741411440
It’s September 1999. Curt Lockes has recently purchased a tantalizing 400-year-old manuscript on e-bay. On the morning after Curt is shaken by a horrifying nightmare, Scott Seymour spies a bizarre cloud on the horizon. Following the clues divulged in the manuscript, Curt and Scott set out to uncover its secrets, as well as the meanings of the nightmare and the cloud. They will soon learn that the ultimate secret connecting all of these things is rooted in the Old Testament book of Genesis.
As Curt and Scott set out on their quest they visit some of Florida’s enticing historical venues: the Castillo de San Marcos, Fort Caroline and Fort Matanzas. Their exploration of these sites is enriched by the manuscript’s revelations and their discovery of an odd skeleton. But the skeleton’s secrets are deadly. When a friend is brutally murdered, Curt and Scott realize that sinister events are unfolding, events they must forestall if they are going to save their own, and hundreds of other, lives. To make matters worse, time is running out quickly because a hurricane is bearing down on the east coast of Florida. As family and friends evacuate the region, Scott and Curt stay behind to rid the world of the skeleton and its malicious effects.
Their adventure strains Scott’s family life but strengthens his friendship with Curt. It includes deadly encounters with sword-yielding Huguenots, a ferocious fish, and a vindictive Timucua Indian. It includes the loss of friends and the initiation of new relationships (including a love interest for Curt). And, no surprise here, it results in the dramatic triumph of good over evil.

That's cool Evie! Too bad it's not a paying job, but it's a fun one for you and getting autographed copies of the books is fantastic.
When I find time to read, I find myself picking up a book relating to Nonverbal Learning Disorder, or something in that vane. I watch Matthew devour books and wish that I had that same desire.
What a fun job ! New books all the time at no cost. With any luck this will turn into a paid position for you.
this is a good exposure for your skills.
