About My Library: My favorite authors include Campbell, Cisneros, Hesse, Kingston, Medeiros, Ondaatje, Roy, Speare, Yoshimoto, and Woolf. I have an unhealthy obsession with historical fiction; it's like crack. I started this library as a way of cataloging my possessions before a move, in case anything happened to them; but now, I love reading the reviews, connecting with other authors, and sort of letting people glimpse into my psyche, as it has been formed by my reading materials, at least... ^_^
About Me: I am a fiction editor and game writer, so I have pretty high standards for my reading material, but I will try any genre/content, so long as it’s written well.

I love Victorian houses, saber fencing, chocolate-covered cherries, and cats. In my spare time, I volunteer at the SPCA and ballroom dance.
