Authonomy note: I'm probably not cut out for this site. I will not give you good reviews or back your book unless I genuinely feel your work merits it. Likewise, please do not back MY book unless you feel it too merits it.

I will try to review books whenever asked, and I will try to give honest, helpful feedback. Please be aware that I have the attention span of a gnat, and even if your book is excellent, I probably won't read more than a chapter or two. :-)
