My first love has always been BOOKS. My favourite gadgets are my phone, my kindle, and now my laptop. I write from my heart, when my emotions overflow and words demand to be set forth. This year I decided to explore my creative side and set forth to explore new avenues. So now I am a #bookblogger, #reviewer, #blogtourorganizer, #publicist, #betareader, #editor, #artist, and hopefully a lot more
