Recently I posted my NEW SHORT BIO on this blog HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, I am posting a more expanded, 173-word Bio..<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 Creating one that is about 100 words is good for the SHORT BIO.\u00a0 And, a longer\u00a0 one, around 200 or less words, is good to have on hand also.<\/p>\n
