Who Am I?
I'm Sally Apokedak, and I live with my son
and my daughter and my old, old mother, in
the lovely city of Atlanta.
Born to missionary parents, I spent my
early years in Taiwan. By the time I was six,
I'd been around the world. The wanderlust I
acquired early, followed me into adult life,
taking me to work in places as far-flung as
Barrow, Alaska, and Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
My most fulfilling job, though, was staying
home, taking care of my family. My husband
was a quadriplegic, and we adopted two
children.

What Am I Doing Here?
I'm talking about life and children's books, because the two seem to get all tangled up together for me. I've loved both ever since I was...well...a child.
When Am I Doing All This?
It's hit and miss.
if you'd rather
hit, than miss.
Here’s my tentative posting schedule:
Marketing on Monday: Or Me on Monday,
because, truth be told, the thing I want
most to market is myself
Toastmasters Tuesday: Something about
public speaking
Wednesday Writer: On writing
Enthused on Thursday: The book I just
have to share
Faith on Friday: Faith and fiction
Where Do I Get My Review Books?
I review books that I have bought or
borrowed or begged. Sometimes I beg them
from authors and publishers.
Why Do I Write Reviews?
No matter where I get the books I always
give my honest opinion when I write reviews.
I am not qualified to review books, really. I'm
just a reader with strong opinions. I love
talking about what I read and want to get
others excited about children's books, too.
How Rich Am I Getting?
Many links here lead to Amazon.com.
If you like my reviews and you click on a book
title or cover picture and then buy the book
(or anything else) from Amazon, I will get a
small percentage of the sale price. Feel free
to do that. It helps support my book-buying
habit. I made about thirty bucks this way last
year.
