Possible articles for BlogCritics
Years ago, I downloaded and saved the following "How To Write a Book Review" and perhaps should share it with my readers. Reminding myself of the finer points of critical analysis is always in vogue. If I can't talk to me, well... who else will listen? The following quote is from a long forgotten website but I see the Los Angeles Valley Library has almost the exact same article published today online. ... read more
BlogCritics and I’m back in the saddle again!
It's been far too long between reviews. While assemblage art and 3D fun take up my studio time, it's into the book fray I must once again venture.

To which Ruth nodded, and said, "Yes." ... read more
