Coming Soon to a Blog Near You…This Blog, to Be Exact
I don’t know if I ever mentioned this outside my About the Author page, but once upon a time (from December of 2003 to February of 2014), I wrote reviews at the now-defunct consumer review-writing website Epinions.

Hello, there! Well, here we are on Sunday, August 2, 2020; it’s late morning in my little corner of Florida as I start this post – I’m not the world’s best or fastest typist, so it will be past noon when I finally post this – and, as usual for the Sunshine State in summer,…
