I seriously don’t even know where to begin this post.\u00a0 When TwinsieTalk was started we never ever thought it would be what is it today.\u00a0 We have so much fun and love reading for so many authors.\u00a0 Many of the authors have grown to be friends and family to us.<\/p>\n

I thought an easy thing to do was to introduce ourselves to you all over again.\u00a0 We have had a few people come and go though the years but the 6 of us are a strong team and work together flawlessly.<\/p>\n

I am a Pre-K Special Education teacher by day and a mom to two 2-legged kids and four 4 legged kiddos.\u00a0 My husband and I are loving life and all that is has to offer.<\/p>\n

I love to read Paranormal, Historical, Contemporary, Dark, Cowboys, MC, RH…pretty much a little bit of everything.\u00a0 Starting this blog was just something fun that I never would imagine would become so important to me.<\/p>\n

From the blog, Melinda and I have also started co-hosting a charity event called Writers on the River with the 501(c)3 Non-Profit host, Healing with Words with Jillian Jacobs and Anya Breton.\u00a0 The four of us founded this charity to help raise awareness of trafficking survivors with the help of Thistle Farms. (Thistlefarms.org<\/a> for more information)<\/p>\n

Hey everyone, I\u2019m Twinsie Melinda. I have been with Twinsie Talk since August 2013. My go to\u2019s are Paranormal, Mafia, Military, RH and sometimes YA. When I\u2019m not reading in my free time, I am running my daughter all around to and from Tumbling, Cheer, Cross Country, and Tennis. On the weekend you can find my husband, daughter and me at the lake skiing and tubing. I also spend my time working with our wonderful Writers on the River Team.<\/p>\n

Hi everyone! Twinsie Kelly here! I have been with Twinsie Talk for about 6 years and it has been amazing! I am from central Illinois and currently live in Pennsylvania.\u00a0 I am recently engaged to an amazing man and couldn’t be happier. I’m also a hot mess of a mom that loves dropping the f-bomb and am mostly inappropriate with the sense of humor of a teenage boy. I am proud to say that my two sons come by their sarcasm naturally, LOL! I’ll give most stories a shot. I enjoy reading a good rom com, fantasy, and Sci-fi. However, my absolute favorites are of the paranormal variety. The more twisted the story, the better! The book community is incredible.\u00a0 I love meeting authors and bonding with other readers over our favorites. I have made some great friendships over the years with authors and readers alike and wouldn’t trade them for the world. I love being a word nerd!<\/div>\n

Hi! Twinsie Tenise here. I live in Central Illinois with my wife and fur babies. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, crafts, spending time with my grandkids, and of course reading!I had followed TwinsieTalk for years and eventually met them in person. Then I was asked to be a volunteer at their local book signing, Writer’s on the River. Honestly, I thought that was the highlight of my book life. Well, until last December when they asked me to join the blog and become a Twinsie. I still feel like I’m dreaming about that at times.<\/p>\n

I have been blogging for about 10 months. Before that I would submit reviews to TwinsieTalk and be a Twinsie for the day. I will read just about anything. My favorite romance genres include; suspense, mafia, MM, and contemporary. Don’t even get me started on my new love for vampires thanks to one of my blog sisters for introducing me to them! You can find some more of my favorite genres by checking out my reviews here…\u00a0http:\/\/twinsietalk.com\/?s=Tenise<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
