More About the Author

As might be guessed, I am a librarian and have been one since 1990. In my previous lives, I taught college English and fought fires for the United States Forest Service.

I earned a B.A. In English from Boise State University in 1981, an M.A. In English from University of California, Berkeley in 1985, and an M.L.I.S from University of California, Berkeley in 1990. My career as a professional librarian has included stints at New Mexico State University (1990-1996, University of Houston (1996-1997), Houston Academy of Medicine-Texas Medical Center Library (1997-2002), and the University of California, Merced (2002-present).

Besides libraries, writing interest includes the literary history of the American West. I have written a play, La Turca, that is set in the American West of the 16th Century.
