My Favorite Reviewers

Becky Kyle

Becky Kyle was born on Friday 13, never mind how long ago.  She lives between the Smoky and Cumberland Mountains with her husband and four cats, none of which are black at the moment. Her favorite past-times are reading, listening to music and writing.  She is working on a mystery series of her own.

Jean Tribull Harris

Jean is currently an Environmental Compliance Coordinator at the Bremo Power Station for Dominion Virginia Power. She holds a B.S. degree in chemistry and biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, NJ and a M.S. in environmental biology from East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania.

Frances Boynton

Frances has lived in Richmond, VA for almost her entire life.  She has 3 cats of her own and does pet-sitting for a fair portion of the cat & dog population of Richmond.  She loves animals, history, wandering around exploring (getting lost), and, of course, reading!

Wendi Chapman

Wendi lives in Richmond with her husband and four dog kids: Wobbles, Acorn,  Care Bear and Chester. She works as a customer care specialist in the  freight industry. She tutors in elementary education every Wednesday and  reads every book she gets and every chance she gets in a lot of different  subjects, not just mysteries.

P.J. Coldren

P.J. Coldren lives in northern lower Michigan with her husband. She owns a lab/pit bull mix named Bruno and is owned by a large feline named Mongo.  She reads widely in the mystery genre and selectively from almost any other book category.  She deals drugs professionally (works in a hospital pharmacy) to pay the bills.  She has been a judge for the Malice Domestic/St. Martin’s Press Best First Traditional Mystery Novel contest for over twenty years and has reviewed mystery novels for almost that long.

Laura Taylor

Laura lives in a converted 150-year-old gristmill surrounded by mountains and cow pastures, with her teenage son and devoted, if noisy, dog. She holds a Master’s degree in Medieval History from Western Michigan University and hopes to teach high school history. In the meantime, she keeps busy reading and working on the mystery novel she wrote for NaNoWriMo 2009. She blogs, when the mood strikes, at The Two-Fingered Typist (http://keystrokes2backspaces.wordpress.com/) and has recently started posting book reviews at Beyond the Blurb (http://beyondtheblurb.wordpress.com/).

Jennifer Hancock

Jennifer graduated from VCU with a degree in Craft (Furniture Design) and minors in Philosophy and Art History.  She happily resides in the neighborhood of Oregon Hill.  She is blessed with a tolerant partner, a house crammed with books and enough cats for every lap in the house plus guests.  Her pastimes include reading, community activism, running two book clubs with an iron fist, herding cats and wrestling with an unruly library.

Alva Hughes

Alva teaches at Randolph-Macon College. She has a B.S. from R-MC and an M.A. & Ph.D. from the University of Maryland.  She finds living with at least one dog necessary.  When she is not busy trying to understand cognitive processes in humans and dogs, she reads, knits, & eats chocolate.

    I saw your post on DorothyL and would be interested in blogging for you and/or reviewing for you. Please let me know what my end of this requires, if you are interested. Thank you.

    Aloha,
    I found your website through a posting on DL. My husband, Douglas Corleone, has a debut novel coming out April 27. It is the winner of the 2009 Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America Best First Crime Novel award. Would you be interested in reviewing his book? He would also like to guest blog on your site.
    All best,
    Jill
