The Blog:
'A Turn of Page' is first and foremost a book blog written by a book lover. Anything having to do with books/literature has a potential home here, and this blog will be largely dedicated to book reviews.
The Author:
I'm a freelance writer from Pennsylvania. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in history and my Masters of Art in English. I truly love all things literary and enjoy reading more than is rightly proper. I'm a member of the MLA and the International English Honor Society, Sigma Tau Delta.
Otherwise, I'm a childfree, liberal, chocoholic, lit geek, writer. I enjoy just sitting in long, undisturbed quiet. I'm also a shameless chatter and sometimes when I start yapping, it’s impossible to shut me up. I enjoy sleeping a little too much, but am also a part time insomniac. I'm shy and hate drawing attention to myself, but I work as an English instructor. I am no-so-mildly obsessed with romance, enjoy cooking and love baking.
I married my soul-mate, Matt, on Valentine's Day 2000 and we've been happily married ever since. Though we have no human children, an never plan to, we're the parents to three sweet little fur-babies: two black cats, Eilistraee and Selune, and a teddy bear puppy, Kneesaa.
Commenting:
My commenting policy is simple: I hate censorship, hate it, and am not prone to doing so. I will, however, censor strong, repetitive profanity and hate language. I don't tolerate hate. I also don't consider religious or political opinions hate speech. Disagree all you want, just be nice about it and we'll be fine. Finally, don't attack another commenter without good cause, and I'm not talking about debate here, don't threaten another commenter, I take that personally. Long story short, be nice and I won't censor you.
Plagiarism & Copyright:
I take plagiarism very seriously. As someone devoted to the humanities, and more specifically to the English as a discipline, I consider plagiarism a serious offense. Don't do it, please. It doesn't pay to steal someone elses' work, ever. I consider plagiarism a manifestation of academic dishonesty.
