Books have been a passion since I was a wee lass -- and now I find myself (as always, now that I think about it) with more books than there is time to read them. This certainly seems a wonderful way to release them into the universe!

As for me, I took early retirement from my work as a vp of private label printing for a book accessories manufacturer and decided to return to book selling (I worked in Massachusetts, Maryland and Virginia as a bookseller), but this time on-line so I could be home for my youngest son (still in elementary school as of this writing). Few books are bought by customers -- most of my clients come back for book plates, and that makes me happy (I love book plates)....

My other likes include travel -- thanks to my oldest son, Kief, currently living in London, we have a place to stay when we go abroad. He has extended the family by marrying into a wonderful Turkish family (the Buklu family). I now have a daughter (in-law) Ozlem, to add to my family of my three sons. My second son lives nearby, and is my connection to the community -- everybody loves Nick. My youngest keeps me active and alive. My mother recently moved nearby from Florida -- she is the writer in the family, with two books published (novels too racy for my website!!)
