About me I write. Therefore I am. I have published my poetry and short stories, once worked as the poetry editor of the Cream City Review, a national literary magazine, and used to write a column for North Western Lines, a Railroad National Historical Society Magazine. I have a novel in the works, but hey, who the hell doesn't. I'm also broke and in debt up to my eyeballs. But that's the american way, right?
I now own Xenith Booksellers, LLC in Milwaukee, WI. I have 800 sq ft and 11,000 titles for sale, and all are also online.
About my library Rebuilding it after selling all my books at a garage sale many years ago. Just bought 32,000 books from a used bookstore that lost its lease. Gonna cherry pick the ones I want to keep and sell the rest. Just begun listing them. So so many boxes...

We share a very interesting bunch of books in common. What fun it is to be a collector, eh? :]
I just have to say after reading your profile that my heart breaks with sympathy for you having to sell all your books at a garage sale! What horror to lose such friends in books all at once like that.. however, to be able to rescue 32,000 books from a store going under and savor the most delectable ones for yourself is a rare treasure, indeed!
Happy hunting & much good luck on your dreams coming true by opening your own bookstore!
