- Longtime participant on the Amazon discussion forums and others. I love talking about books, especially crime fiction.
My particular favorite sub-genres in crime fiction are Golden Age, Eurocrime, espionage and World War II titles.
My first career was academic librarian, and my second was lawyer. I am currently semi-retired and hanging out with my husband and our goofy mutt, Penny. - Location
