Welcome Guest Blogger Eileen Dreyer!

Research Is My Life(she said as she got a stamp in her passport)
Okay, so I admit that when I got into the writing business, research wasn’t my strong point. Oh, all right. It wasn’t a point at all. What I realized when I began to hang around with more veteran authors was that I’d never learned how to really use a library for research. After all, I’m a nurse. Nurses don’t read about the topics they’re studying. They play with them. Not only that but after only 55 years I finally realized that I have ADD(which translates into “can’t finish a non-fiction book if it meant the fate of the free world were at risk).
