edit data

I'm a freelance editor (I've edited all 5 novels by GR author Pete Conrad: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... ), and I live in New Hampshire, longing to escape the confines of cubicle life... or just sell everything and get a bartending job on an island somewhere warm. That would work.

What I love:
Reading, editing, travel, live music, photography, roller skating, learning, laughing, people unafraid to take a chance, loving, observing, and participating.

What I don't love:
Negativity, fruit and meat together, fake people, corporate buzzwords, lying liars who lie, potholes, people who take themselves way too seriously, and Katherine Heigl movies. ...more
