I, Joan Reeves, am the owner of SlingWords which draws between 20K and 30K unique views per month. This is my personal blog about books, writing, publishing, life, love, and pop culture. My interests can be seen on the right sidebar under Something To Talk About. This blog is conceived, written, edited, and published by me.
As the owner of this blog, I may provide my opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics, but I always give my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences. This blog does not contain content which might present a conflict of interest for me. Anything I endorse is based on my experience.
I, Joan Reeves, am a Participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to products on Amazon. If a buy link for a book or product on Amazon is not provided by the Client, I will use an Amazon link embedded with her Amazon Associates referral code. This means I will earn a small percentage at no increased cost to the buyer.
