About this author

edit data

I'm a librarian in Williamsburg, Virginia, where I specialize in readers' advisory. I also write and blog, mostly about books. Lately, I've come to think of myself simply as a "bookman." It's a way of life.

I blog in two places, Blogging for a Good Book at Williamsburg Regional Library (http://bfgb.wordpress.com) and Book Group Buzz for Booklist Online (http://bookgroupbuzz.booklistonline.com).

My first book, Read On... Fantasy Fiction, came out in 2007, and my second, Fellowship in a Ring, a handbook for science fiction and fantasy book groups arrived in late 2009. I love speculative fiction, but I think my next project will take on something different. Stay tuned!
