About Me

My photo
A.R. Wilmer
My name is A.R. Wilmer. I've started this blog because I'm an impassioned writer and avid reader, and love to talk about both, so I've chosen to do it here. The way my blog works, is every Friday, I will add a post, each one alternating each week between writing and reading.
