43 years old, B.A. in English (Lit, with a concentration in medieval studies) and a B.S. in Criminal Justice. Favorite types of reading include thrillers/mysteries, horror, science fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, and lots of nonfiction--history, mythology, anthropology, and criminology. I've won several writing contests and have poetry and short stories published in several literary magazines and on the web.

The last time I counted my library, there were just under 6,000 books in it. Most of these are in boxes in my basement, as my small house simply doesn't have shelf space for them all. Some of these are in my permanent collection, but others are up to trade. With that many books, of course, there's no way I could possibly put them all on my bookshelf here, so if you're looking for a trade, ask me if I've got something. If I do, and can lay hands on it, I'll register it here then and send it off. :)
