Between us, we have written millions of words – we make a living out of it. Lots of things are happening in publishing. What we find out, we will let you know. We will post reviews. We will give you honest opinions of what is going on. We also want to hear and share your experiences. So wander in. We will be posting blogs and updates frequently!
