Grandma Bev

I have lived in Alaska for the past 20 years. I raised six children, have 14 grandchildren, 1 great-grandson, and a new
great-grandchild on the way.  I am well up in the senior-citizen category, but not retired.  I have an income tax
preparation service that is seasonal, and sell books on the Internet year-round.  At one time I owned a book store,
and still have around 40,000 used books.

I have written nonfiction mostly for newspaper publication. My main hobby now is reading and reviewing books and
interviewing writers. I write a bi-monthly children's book column for
MyShelf.com, and recently started reviewing for
TeensReadToo. I do read and review all kinds of books except SciFi, romance, and religion, but specialize in
children's books, history, historical fiction, biographies and most non-fiction.
