Hi Folks!
Hello Everyone!
I stumbled upon this site from another eBook review site, and I'm glad I did. Although I know my husband had already found it a few weeks ago. Anyway, a little bit about me. My name is Jan and I am an avid reader, avid knitter, used-to-be avid digi scrapper and all around geek. I work from home and have done various things, most recently as a digi-scrap designer as well as a Beachbody Coach (the company that makes in-home workout videos such as P90X.) I have recently reinvented myself, however, as a publicist for my husband Michael Hicks (KreelanWarrior). He is the author (self-pubbed) of several Amazon bestselling books, but I'll post about them in the appropriate forum. So, let's see, my favorite genres (besides anything my husband writes!) are fantasy and historical fiction (Outlander! Yaay!). Having romance in the mix is always a good thing. I'm currently re-reading GRRM's series in order to prepare for his latest release (finally!), I'm taking it slow, in the hopes that by the time I'm ready for the new book, the price for the Kindle version will have dropped some. (One can hope, right!) Mike and I have had Kindles almost since they first came out, upgrading sometimes, but not always. We just recently got iPad 2s, however, and I pretty much read exclusively on the Kindle app on that. Let's see what else, we have two boys, the oldest one will be entering high school in the fall. Eeek! The youngest will be in 7th grade, so life is always kind of crazy around here. We have two Siberian cats, who pretty much rule the house. Oh, and we love going out in the RV. In fact, once the boys are out of the house, we plan on hitting the road full-time in our RV. Oh, and our most exciting news is that Mike is doing so well with his royalties now, that he is planning on quitting his 25 year govt. job to write full time come Sept. 10! Can't wait to have him home with me full-time! So, that's probably enough about me! I look forward to meeting all of YOU! Jan |
