Time to say goodbye...
by Bernadette Geyer on 07/11/12
Dear Friends,
After 15 years, I am refocusing my energies on my own creative writing and will cease regular updating of this web site.
I will continue to post occasional reviews -- in much shorter format -- over at my personal blog, so if you would like to follow me there, I would be very grateful.
The reviews here at the berniE-zine web site will remain as a static "archive" -- because there are so many books here that I believe people should know about, and I want these reviews to remain available to anyone in search of a good book to read.
Thank you for your support over the years. I wish you a lifetime of good reading...
--Bernadette Geyer
