Petrona began in December 2005 on Blogspot (Blogger). In May 2006 I moved to this Typepad site. I write mainly about books (usually crime fiction), reading, publishing, science and the web, but anything goes.
I welcome readers, and hope you will comment on my posts. I try to reply to all comments, either on Petrona or via email. Thank you for visiting Petrona.
Petrona is my own personal weblog, and does not represent Nature or the Nature Publishing Group. It is maintained on my own time and with my own resources.
