  Reviews 
  "Not to mention most grammar and self-editing books on the shelves today are stuffy snore fests. Much to my surprise and delight this does not fall into the category. I dare say this guide is engaging from beginning to end." - Josh Byrley 
  "The information is presented in a way that, unlike other style guides, won't leave you sobbing in confusion or brain-dead from grammar-related terminology dumps. Her examples are inventive but easy to understand." - K.t. Hoyet 
  "What makes Self-Editing On A Penny stand out, is that Forge uses her snark and sass to illustrate how to successfully edit your project. Her examples are clever and short to the point, and her explanations aren't bogged down in extraneously detail. If it's your first time finishing a novel, be good to yourself and pick up Self-Editing On a Penny. It will save your sanity." - K. Sholty

  ContamiNation - My Quest to...

  A few years ago, journalism professor McKay Jenkins went in for a routine medical exam. What doctors found was not routine at all: a tumor, the size of a navel orange, was lurking in his abdomen. When Jenkins returned to the hospital to have the tumor removed, he was visited by a couple of researchers with clipboards. They had some questions for him. Odd questions like, how much exposure had he had to toxic chemicals and other contaminants? Asbestos dust? Vinyl chlorine? Pesticides?From the moment he left the hospital, Jenkins resolved to discover the truth about chemicals and the "healthy" levels of exposure we encounter each day as Americans. He spent the next two years digging, exploring five frontiers of toxic exposure-the body, the home, the drinking water, the lawn, and the local box store-and asking how we allowed ourselves to get to this point. Most important, though, Jenkins wanted to know what we can do to turn things around. Though toxins may be present in products we all use every day, there are ways to lessen our exposure. ContamiNation is an eye-opening report from the front lines of consumer advocacy.
