About Me
I used to work for a legal publishing company in the UK while studying for an MSc in Information and Library Management at the University of the West of England. I am now an e-resources librarian at that same university.

With regards to reading, my main interests are science fiction and fantasy, but like most people, enjoy a good book in any genre, both fiction and non-fiction.

For the last 25 years of my life, I've been pretty much obsessed with sci-fi, starting off watching Star Trek and Doctor Who, but in the last 10 years or so, this has developed into a keen interest in literature. My first degree is in English Lit from the Open University.
