I'm a librarian in Williamsburg, Virginia, where I specialize in readers' advisory and collection development. Lately, I've come to think of myself simply as a "bookman." It's a way of life.

I also write about books. 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 briefly had a monthly column, "Every Book Its Reader," for Booklist magazine.

I read a variety of fantasy and science fiction, nonfiction (especially history), historical fiction, mysteries, and literary fiction. I like theater, travel, movies, and puzzles in my spare time.

Tori Hey Neil! Maine is great. Quiet and uneventful enough to force me to focus. Not so quiet that I'm turning into a Stephen King character, although I've seen enough odd things to know where he gets the ideas for his stories.

I'm wanting to be performing again too. Keeping my eyes open for things to do this year. Let me know how you like Bedroom Farce. Is it in at the library yet and available to the public?
