Becky Kyle

Thanks to Dr. Seuss, Becky Kyle is a voracious reader. If left strictly to Dick & Jane, she'd probably still be in the second grade. And if anyone deserves thanks for her reviewing, she wishes she could remember the recruiter at the UCO Library School who suggested she write a review of every book she read as both a mnemonic and a reference tool.

She has always loved music. The first records she can remember playing are the gorgeous colored kids' vinyl records with songs like "Rockin' Robin" (the old version) and stories like "The Little Match Girl."

She moved on to cassettes and then CDs. She had a brief affection for mp3, but really dislikes the compression rate -- it seems the only thing mp3 does well is loud. So she is back to CDs and seeing if she can figure a place to put all those pretty shiny discs so she can access them.

She lives in Knoxville, TN, with her spouse of 26 years and four cats, the oldest of which is 19. She was born on Friday 13 and, yes, one of her cats is black!

Other interests include doll collecting, creative writing, traveling....
