Extended Profile
I'm a science fiction lover, but I also read lots of other genres. I'm never without a book, a true bookaholic. I'm also hooked on sudoku, Wordle, sedecordle, solitaire, and yoga. I also crochet, knit, quilt, mosaic... I live in beautiful San Diego. I've
spent many years working as a statistician in high-tech and also teaching college statistics, and I am now retired. Much less stress, lots of fun, and more time to read! In the Myers-Briggs personality typing I'm an INFJ/INTJ/INTP hybrid.

My released books don't necessarily represent my taste in books -- I buy a great many books just for the fun of releasing them. Check GoodReads for what I really do read.
"In my experience, well-read people are less likely to be evil." - Lemony Snicket
My wishlist is up to date. I love books on CD's and paper copies equally as much. I’m open to swaps, book requests, RABCK's, and friend requests. I can’t ship internationally as I used to, the postage is just too much. I also enjoy chocolate, handmade items, anything with or about embroidery, crochet or knitting, bookmarks, haikus, hamsas, bracelets, earrings, .... My books live in a smoke-free home with dog hair :)

My released books don't necessarily represent my taste in books -- I buy a great many books just for the fun of releasing them. Check GoodReads for what I really do read.
"In my experience, well-read people are less likely to be evil." - Lemony Snicket
My wishlist is up to date. I love books on CD's and paper copies equally as much. I’m open to swaps, book requests, RABCK's, and friend requests. I can’t ship internationally as I used to, the postage is just too much. I also enjoy chocolate, handmade items, anything with or about embroidery, crochet or knitting, bookmarks, haikus, hamsas, bracelets, earrings, .... My books live in a smoke-free home with dog hair :)
