Recently I posted my NEW SHORT BIO on this blog HERE

Today, I am posting a more expanded, 173-word Bio..

Keeping our BIO up-to-date is important because we need to be prepared when an editor asks us for a bio for a project that will be published.  Creating one that is about 100 words is good for the SHORT BIO.  And, a longer  one, around 200 or less words, is good to have on hand also.
