From my posts this month, you might assume I had done nothing but read and review books.
You wouldn’t be far wrong.
One of my internships has wrapped up, but I’m keeping up with the second–a part-time arrangement with the Fair Trade store Amani DC–for some outside the house occupation during my job search. The status of my job search can best be described as “pending.” To be honest, after the crisis in July and the hard work that came with wrapping up my position in August, I’m grateful for a few weeks of relative quiet. I have made some progress in writing, and am currently looking to acquire more clients for my manuscript reviews.
Anyway, if you want to read a blog post by me that isn’t a book review, check out my latest at the Amani DC blog, on recent changes in the world of Fair Trade Jewelry. It was fun to research, even if I did get lost in the Novica galleries.
About Therese
Therese Arkenberg's first short story was accepted for publication on January 2, 2008, and her second acceptance came a few hours later. Since then they haven't always been in such a rush, yet her work appears in places like Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Analog, Daily Science Fiction, and the anthology Sword & Sorceress XXIV. Aqua Vitae, her science fiction novella, was released by WolfSinger Publications in December 2011.
She works as a freelance editor and writer in Wisconsin, where she returned after a brief but unforgettable time in Washington, D.C. When she isn't reading, writing, or editing (it's true!) she serves on the board of the Plowshare Center of Waukesha, which works for social, economic, and environmental justice.
