Susan Cohen's Book Indexing Service

03/29/2015

Finished my last book, Word Warrior, by Sonja Williams. A nice book to end on. I have indexed a total of 200 books!

02/26/2015

After 10 years of indexing, I'm happy/sad to announce that I am retiring from indexing. It is time to move on to something else. I've got one more book to do and then I'll be done. I may come back to it someday, but may not. It has been an interesting 10 years.

Gosh, just realized how long it has been since I posted anything here. Obviously, I've been really busy. Right now, I am just finishing up this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Nursing-Civil-Rights-American-History/dp/0252080777/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417696643&sr=8-1&keywords=nursing+civil+rights
