Meet the Reviewers
Stacey
Hi, my name is Stacey, and welcome to Whispering Stories Blog which has been running since February 2015. When I began this blog I quickly realised that I needed more people to join me in reviewing books as the TBR pile was taller than me. There have been many reviewers over the years. Below you can discover the current people who review for the blog.
I’m married with three adult sons. I live in the UK.
I have always been an avid reader, it is a form of escapism for me. You will often find me with two or more books on the go. I love most genres with exceptions to sci-fi and horror.
Selina
Hi, I’m Selina, I have always read books from a young age and in recent years due to a Chronic Illness and having to give up work I have become an avid reader.
It helps me to escape the world that I now have to live in. Libraries and charity shops have been a rock with my reading.
I prefer Chick Lit, Women’s Fiction and the occasional Autobiography of someone I am interested in. I also review on Amazon, NetGalley and Goodreads.
I am honoured to be part of Whispering Stories blog team
Julie
Hello, my name is Julie and I’m a former NHS medical secretary. Currently, I read, write, review and give talks to local groups. In addition, I’m a church verger, school alumna and blog at www.jhbooksblog.wordpress.com.
I’ve been part of the reviewing team at Whispering Stories since 2016. As a published author, I understand how much every book means to its creator and appreciate the opportunity to deliver a balanced critique. I read across most genres but for children’s books, enlist the help of one of my growing band of grandchildren. #WSRT
Clive
Hello, I am Clive. I have been retired for the last five years and they have been the most varied years of my life with many new activities which include being a Church Treasurer, a National Trust Room Guide, a Countryside Ranger. I run and cycle which keep me fit for hill walking; I recently completed the Lake District’s Wainwrights.
I have never written a book but being married to a published author I appreciate how much work is required, so I hope that my reviews are balanced to benefit both the author and the potential reader.
George
Hi, I’m George. I live in Chicago, Illinois, USA, with my wife, Sharon, and our dog, Sheldon Cooper. I am retired after a 45-year career in information technology, giving me more time to devote to reading and writing. My mother infused a love of reading in me from a young age, which made me a lifelong bookworm.
Until recently, I mostly read history and biography, with the occasional mystery thrown in. That changed when I wrote my first book, a murder mystery called Stalking Horse. Since then, I’ve expanded my reading list to include a mix of different kinds of fiction along with my traditional reading fare.
In addition to Stalking Horse, I have short stories in two anthologies published by the Ohio Writers’ Association: Outcasts and Metamorphosis. My wife and I raised three daughters and are grandparents to five grandchildren, ages 6 to 15.
I discovered Whispering Stories while compiling a list of book review blogs for the Ohio Writers’ Association. I am active in the Association and attend their monthly writers’ workshops when my schedule permits. In my “spare” time, I work for the Chicago Cubs Baseball Club and maintain a true crime blog at www.georgepallas.com
