As part of the Armchair BEA festivities, I present a mini-interview with a fellow book blogger whose books are presented mostly list form with a sense of style.
Let's welcome...
Guest Blogger Interviewee: Midnight Cowgirl of The Fashion Planner and In Mixed Company...
Brief bio
I like to describe myself as an actor/model and cling to the glory of having once been a background actor on E.R. and a t-shirt model for a now defunct online store. While waiting for my agent to call me with my next big role, I pass the time by blogging about fashion, movies, and anything Jane Austen.
