Loretta Carrico-Russell

Thank you to all who critiqued this piece. I submitted it to the local daily paper where I live because I received a hate letter threatening to expose my secrets if I ever published another thing in the local paper again when my piece on vultures and recyclers was published. I'm dying to find out what my secrets are!

Once in a blue moon even a lowly book reviewer earns a byline. In this case, I was asked by Kirkus to interview the author of “The Spinoza Problem,” a writer (and psychiatrist) who managed to contrast rationalist philosopher with one of the supposed conjurors of German
fascism. Here's the interview link: http://www.kirkusreviews.com/blog/author/gary-presley/
Here's the link to my review of the novel itself:

Kirkus online sometimes requires a sign-in via Facebook to read the whole magilla.
