Hello, everyone! This is the new home of my blog, Outside of a Dog, which I had maintained on Wordpress since 2015. The title comes from a quote by Mark Twain: “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.” I was a reader long before I became a writer, and the sentiment expressed in the quote felt appropriate for what started as a book review blog.
I’ve decided to branch out a bit. I’ll still review the occasional book that I particularly enjoyed, and of course I’ll still keep you up to date on writing-related news. But I’ll also talk about teas I’m enjoying and adventures in birding.
