I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My mom taught me to read at age 4, and I've never looked back. I work at Book People , a large independent bookstore in Austin, and I've been a bookseller for 15 years. I'm also the Books Editor for Revolution SF . Books are my passion, and I love to talk about them, but I also love music and movies and pop culture in general. And in my not-so-secret life, I am fascinated by the deep ocean and all it's myriad critters and downright obsessed with sharks and cephalapods.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Print Junkies, Word Nerds, Geeks, Biblioholics, booksellers, TWOPers, Revolution SFers, Readervillagers, Squid Heads, Octopus Lovers, Shark Fanatics

Blog Entry 31: The Billionaire’s Vinegar
