OUR KNIGHTS

Roundtable Reviews would not be online were it not for the support of our small, supportive staff.   Our reviewers are our knights!  If you are interested in reviewing for Roundtable Reviews, please send an email! 

Unfortunately, we have had a few reviewers sign up and then disappear for whatever reason.  The following names are reviewers who accepted books and then failed to complete reviews.

Carol W., Erin K., Hattie C., Jamie C., Jeannie L., Mendi C., Molly G., Summer H., Terri V., Tricia G

Debbie D.

 

SYLVIA COCHRAN lives in sunny Southern California.  She is a Christian poet, an opinionated freelance writer, and teaches online classes for SuiteU.  Seeking to support a 3-books-a-week habit, she will read anything and everything, including the back of cereal boxes.

JEFF COOK is a corporate communications specialist who lives with his wife Tammy and two kids in Illinois, where he is often suckered into buying novels based on the cool-factor of the cover.  He reads a little of everything, but particularly enjoys fantasy, suspense, thrillers and non-fiction novels based on World War II.  His favorite authors include Stephen R. Donaldson, John Connolly and Jeffery Deaver."

TAMMY COOK also lives in McHenry, Illinois with her husband Jeff, two kids, and numerous pets.

DAVID FARNSWORTH loves to read, but rarely has time to indulge in books.  His love for sci-fi prompted him to join the staff. By day, David is employed full-time, but the rest of the time he is die-hard Red Sox fan, Patriots and Bruins fan and participates in many online fantasy leagues.

TRACY FARNSWORTH is pretty much gal of all trades.  By day, she spends her time as a freelance writer for many tourism and SEO article Web sites.  She's been published in the "New Directions In Nursing" Fall/Winter 2007 issue, the April 2008 issue of Earnshaw's and was a finalist in a Writer's Digest monthly competition.  When not working, toting her daughter to basketball games and practices, or her son to GeoBee practices, Tracy likes to find a quiet spot with book in hand.

DEB FOWLER returns after a hiatus.  Deb lives in Vermont and is a member of the National Book Critics Circle.  Between life, her family, reading, and her work, Deb keeps herself extremely busy!

ROBERT GOSS is an avid reader living in Vermont.  A graduate of the St. Johnsbury Trade School, he worked for a year as Apprentice Woodpatternmaker in the Fairbanks-Morse scale factory before his ten year stint in the U. S. Air Force. Following his enlistment in the USAF, he worked for three years as a civilian employee in the USAF Depot at Chateauroux, France then for twenty three years as a computer programmer with IBM. Following his retirement from IBM, he worked for ten years with Barrecrafters. Robert spends his spare moments working on genealogy and reading, of course.  He is not picky on the genre he is reading, though he will name Jean Auel and Kathleen Woodiwiss as favorites, among others.

TONI KELLEY returns after a year hiatus.  Toni is a lifelong resident in the state of Michigan, as well as a wife and stay-at-home mother of three beautiful children, six dogs, and three cats.  In her spare moments, she has found time to become a freelance writer for several magazines along with becoming a published short story author.

An award-winning journalist for over two decades, RANDY O'BRIEN'S first novel, JUDGE FOGG, was recently published by LiteraryRoad.  He has been a finalist and semi-finalist in several major creative writing contests and has optioned four screenplays.  He is a former President of the Tennessee Screenwriters Association and a former board member of the Tennessee Writers Alliance.  An avid reader, he reviews audiobooks for AudioFile magazine and has taught nonfiction creative writing classes at Middle Tennessee State University and Watkins College of Art and Design.

JERRY UNANGST lives in Ogden, Utah.  He is happily retired after serving twenty-two years in the Air Force as an AMMO troop where he got to play with bombs, bullets, rockets, missiles, and other various weapons of war.  During his service, he visited several far off lands such as Iraq, Turkey, England, Okinawa, South Korea, and Las Vegas.

He is an avid reader of almost every genre of books.  If he had to pick a particular favorite genre, it would be horror.  He understands that truly good horror stories are few and far between.  He also has this annoying habit of talking in the third-person.

BOB WALCH, a retired high school English and Journalism teacher, stays out of trouble by "practicing" what he once taught.  The Monterey, California, resident does freelance work for local newspapers and writes weekly/monthly book columns for eight west coast newspapers and magazines.

 In addition to Roundtable Reviews, his online reviews appear monthly on the following Web sites: I Love A Mystery, the Midwest Book Review(Bob's Shelf), ParentClick.com (Children's books) and My Shelf.

JENNIFER WELLS lives and works in Vermont.  Having grown up with Tracy (next door neighbors throughout their childhood), fate stepped in and suddenly the pair found themselves as neighbors again--this time as adults raising their own families.  Jennifer loves contemporary romance, chick-lit, and romantic suspense!

L.L. WOODWARD is a ubiquitous representative of what was once referred to as "the silent majority." L.L. Woodard identifies with no particular race, organized religion, or ethnicity. He does admit to being part of the "Boomer" generation, whose thoughts, opinions, and insights have been garnered by experiences from the 1960's to the present in America.
 
 No longer satisfied with remaining silent, L.L. Woodard now shares his ideas and experiences via the written word with the intent of engaging others in thought-provoking discourse. In addition, his time is spent as a proofreader and copy editor.
