Two changes have come in the past couple months, changes that have a bearing on my presence here at Good Reads. First, I am no longer, after several years of serving as such, a full-time caregiver. My mother passed the day before Easter.

This means that I can get out and about for the first time in quite a while. Which also means I'll have less interest in hanging around here or anywhere else online.

Second, as we all know, GR is now part of Amazon. This also makes me less interested in posting reviews and taking part. I will continue to maintain my author page, of course, but I'm taking a step back. otherwise. The only reviews I'm likely to post are those of newly published books I might read.

And I am probably going to start up a separate review site/blog, as I had before coming here. We'll see how things go but don't expect to see a lot of me here anymore.
