A carbon-based biped with a high tolerance for exercise. BA earned at the University of Massachusetts, MLS from Simmons College. Served in the military six years, in the armored cavalry. Not many transferable skills there, but the camaraderie of being on a tank crew has earned me lifelong friends. I enjoy reading history (ancient to modern); biography; science fiction (hard, please, though I do enjoy William Gibson); and, as the bulk of my career has been in Young Adult services, teen novels. I like to cook, so a new cookbook really makes my day; I enjoy a good airshow, every sandwich, and every laugh. I miss Douglas Adams, Anthony Burgess, and Hunter S. Thompson.
