Friday Ramblings From An Author-The Future of Online Learning

Debut of the New Tuesday Guest Bloggers
I said we’d try something different this year. A new day for the guest bloggers to take center stage along with a Q and A format with the same questions for everyone. I thought it would be fun for you to read how the author got started, why they chose their genre and their writing…
