about me

Retired English prof. Undergrad work included lots of literature and biological science. Postgrad work included lots of philosophy, theology, literature, linguistics. Sometimes, if you have a question on any subject, I have an answer.

My watchlist is full, and I'm a S-L-O-W reader, savoring phrases and words. My shelf changes VERY slowly. If you want me to read your book, it helps to be both patient and persisent! Also, it's helpful if you've read enough of one of mine to know if it is to your taste (Faust's is a paranormal crime thriller and Stony Path is a poetry/ flash fiction collection).

Don't worry about offending me if your taste in books tends toward the highly popular. Look at some of my faves.

I like scary books, children's books, SF, crime thrillers, all sorts of books.

I can be contacted at probill43@att.net.

One of my books has already made the ED; the other isn't even close, and I have no hope of its ever getting there. See the trailer below for the ED book. I have a Facebook page there too, but I don't go there often.
