Raised in Philadelphia, Pa., I have a business degree in Business Administration, have worked in retail banking, telecommunications, and defense IT consulting. I'm married and have two adult children. That's on a serious note.

What else to note?

Well, I read books. Write books. Critique books. Review books. I babble on and on about books. I like books. Love books. And I publish books. My tastes are eclectic. Mystery, sci-fi, romance, chic-lit, literature, non-fiction, memoirs... it's only the story that counts. Come visit my blog sometime... when you have time. Take a peek around, sight-see, enjoy, check out what's behind the book flirt.

To be in love with storytelling. Aspire to be the owner of your story by avoiding critiques, particularly for fiction/novel writers. No matter how well intended advice on your writing may be, you own your work when it's solely your voice. Don't fret too much about critics. They will be around to critique you and your original critics long after the first round told you to do it this or that way. (less)

Harlequin Books Hi RYCJ, I'm sorry it took a bit to stop by and say thanks for being a friend. I swear my day is over before it properly began! While here, I want you to know that if you ever have any questions about the books on my shelves or about Harlequin.com, Stop by the HB profile and I would be delighted to answer them. Also, I list as much Harlequin news and author news as I can so be sure to watch for my updates.

Happy reading,
Kim S., Harlequin Books ambassador

RYCJ Hi Jesse,
I'll add your book to my list. I certainly am impressed by some of the reviews I've read written by you. It tells me I'll likely enjoy Song of George.
Rhonda

Jesse Hanson Dear RYCJ, It's very nice to be included on your friends list here on goodreads. I'm quite impressed by your reading list as well as the samples of your own work. I hope you won't mind if I ask you to consider my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man for your reading list. It's fiction but is inspired by my own experiences.
Best wishes in all, Namaste, jesse
