I'm a National Internet Business Examiner at http://www.InternetBizBlogger.com and my company has launched http://www.WeTeachWebMarketing.com to help people promote their brand, book or business online.

Favorite Books

TURTLE MOON by Alice Hoffman
POSSESSION by A.S. Byatt
Favorite Authors

One author had something I didn't -- a blog (in January of 2008 I didn't even know what a blog was).Not to be outdone, I said to myself: I have to have a blog too.
