About meI work in IT, and am in progress on my Master's in Information Science.
I write, and have had a story or two published, nothing major. Maybe some day I'll get more out there.
When I am cleaning out my library, I make books available on BookMooch. You can see my inventory here: http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/meijhen
Many of you may know that Terry Pratchett (author of the Discworld books, among others) recently announced he had been diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's. Just this week, he made a 500,000 pound donation to Alzheimer's Research (that's about $1 million US). There is now a movement among his fans to match that amount. He has a lot of fans, it shouldn't take much on the part of individual donors to match it! Please take a moment to visit http://www.matchitforpratchett.org , and to pass along the information to anyone who might be willing to donate.

I see you recently added a couple of Jim Butcher books - he's a favorite of mine too!
Good luck on your Master's...when will you be graduating? Just so you know, we're building a new library in Wylie and will be hiring librarians in a year or so. We actually will need an IT person/librarian, so keep us in mind!
Best,

When I started the book, I figured it was just another basic fantasy plot that, I had hoped, would develop it's own wings as it went along. Unfortunately, the deeper into the book I got, the more I found myself easily predicting what would happen next. I didn't mind the writing or the flow of the book, but it was that tired formula that really turned me off from it.
Now I'm left to wonder if I should continue the series.

I enjoyed looking at your library catalog - really just the history stuff. I particuarly enjoyed your books on courtesans. How interesting that was!
As for finding primary sources for my research, it's really a mixed bag. In the early period when executions were public, there is little primary documentation. The executioners themselves seemed to have written almost nothing, and when they did, it's little more than a list of people they killed with precious few additional tidbits. On the other hand, by the late nineteenth century, the hangmen in England began recording their life stories; but again, they primarilly concentrated on the celebrated, notorious criminals rather than on their own circumstances.
I see you are pursuing your MS in IT. I work by day as a programmer - for the last 20+ years. It's decent money, intellectually stimulating, a reasonably flexible.
Cheers,
Alex
