I am a paraprofessional librarian (ILL clerk, cataloguer, assistant collection manager, sometime IT flunky, and general tech services gopher) in a small, friendly town somewhere in the Southwestern United States. I'm also a senior (currently taking a semester off) at Goddard College, working on my liberal arts undergraduate thesis. I work mainly in textiles but I'm also a semi-amateur photographer (which is to say that I've done some jobs for money, and wouldn't turn down the opportunity, but the level of competition in Western landscape and architectural photography is a stress I don't need in my life).

I love books, read widely and across many genre (though especially literary nonfiction and sci-fi), and am always on the lookout for a good book review. I'm an off-and-on member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (off at the moment - full-time job plus full-time school plus no shires within 50 miles equals major lack of opportunity). Most of my spare time is spent with my family or in my studio.
