I am a medical professional by day, which pays for my book and shoe addiction. By night, I"m a struggling writer/aspiring author. I am also a book reviewer, under a pen name, which feeds my addiction for the written word.See me at my Bebo page: http://DeniseMMcClain.bebo.com and my website: www.denisemcclain.com
