I am currently proofreading the following projects for Project Gutenberg. This is an organization that offers over 58,000 free eBooks of the world’s greatest literature. These eBooks focus on older works for which U.S. copyright has expired. My proofreading corrects any errors that occur when scanning the original pages to the eBook format. With my eye for details, I am helping to bring education and enjoyment from the past to today’s society.• Luck on the Wing, Thirteen Stories of a Sky Spy~Elmer Haslett• Bedouin Love~Arthur Edward Pearse Brome Weigall• Fighting Joe (1893)-Oliver Optic• Pride and His Prisoners (1860)~ALOE

My blog entries examine the world of proofreading and all of its quirky little dips and turns! I give my readers rules for correcting punctuation, strategies for improving grammar, and ideas for clearly expressing your thoughts. All of this is wrapped in a humorous (slightly sarcastic) writer’s voice that makes you smile as you read each entry!

Published Work…Love, DadIn December of 1995, my father passed away from a ruptured aneurysm on his aorta. At that time, our family consisted of my father and me due to the fact that I am an only child and my mother had passed away four years earlier. In 2003, I wrote a memoir that encompassed the emotions and the memories of that day…December 24. You see, this day is etched in my memory not only because of the suddenness of his death, but also because of the Christmas gift I received from him. Three hours after his death, a beautiful Christmas bouquet of carnations, chrysanthemums, and roses-my dad’s favorite flowers-was delivered to my home. Weeks earlier, he had arranged the delivery to be made on Christmas Eve, never realizing how poignant the delivery would be. Instead of seeing the time of this gift as a sad coincidence, I viewed it as a very special message…a message from my dad reminding me of his love. In 2004, this memoir was published in A Cup of Comfort for Christmas which is a collection of memoirs from across the globe. This publication is one of which I am very proud!
