About meI am actually the author of the three YA books on my list. Many websites list the mysterious(and apparently computer generated)Ariel Jennifer Jones as the author of my novels, but alas, she seems to get all the credit and do none of the work. Not that I have ever worked that hard to publicize my books. Marketing is something I dread even more than dental surgery. You would think with the anonymity of so many websites/ blogs blah di blah, I would have jumped on that wagon. But my computer at home is entering into it's senile tenth year and honestly, I don't like talking about my books. I have no interest in selling them. I could not sell clear spring water in a seven year drought. Apparently, that part of my brain is missing - despite all efforts of my logical mind to convince it otherwise. So it's quite the challenge to be a writer and not even try to sell your own work. So no, I'm not giving up my day job. And yes, quite irrationally, I'm working on a fourth novel.

About my libraryDue to space issues, I rarely add new books to my library. The books I buy now I usually donate to the library or local thrift shops once I'm done with them. I'm currently reading quite a bit of non-fiction now. But it's slow going. If I finish one in less than a year, I figure I'm doing fairly well.
