EVEN MORE INFO:
I started out in bookselling at the Borders in Mesa, AZ (RIP, Store #69) in 2004, and have been working in books pretty much ever since. I was lucky enough to be a bookseller for Changing Hands in Tempe, AZ, The King’s English Bookshop in Salt Lake City, UT, breathe books in Baltimore, MD, and WORD Bookstores in Brooklyn, NY, and Jersey City, NJ. I then spent nine years wearing various hats for Riot New Media Group, Inc., including Director of Editorial Operations. Currently I podcast for SFF Yeah!, and with the brilliant Preeti Chhibber about our problematic fav The Wheel of Time at Tar Valon Or Bust.
