About meI'm a bit like a feral cat, in that I am willing to interact with other people, but only on my own terms. Other than the obvious book obsession, I'm quiet, curmudgeonly (I grumble a lot) and a bit of a recluse. I've been a theatrical technician, a book store employee, an animal shelter employee and now I manage websites. For the canine curious, my dog’s name is Boru, and he’s and Olde English Bulldogge.

About my libraryIt's kind of an oddball mixture; speculative fiction, noir, survivalist manuals (I'm not a nut; I just believe in being prepared), and a growing non-fiction section.
