About My Library

My library basically has three components: my massive RPG collection, other assorted geekery (graphic novels, speculative fiction, etc.), and nonfiction. Nonfiction is mostly languages, linguistics, East and Central Asian studies, and Native American/indigenous studies. I also use LibraryThing to catalog my library at work and keep track of books I've worked on either through developmental editing or acquisition.

About Me

I've been an enormous bibliophile my entire life. I will literally read anything and everything. I'm a big fan of speculative/genre fiction and graphic novels. I also read a ton of nonfiction -- especially in my former academic interests of linguistics, anthropology, and Asian and American Indian studies.

I'm also a book editor. In that sense, books have become my entire life -- both figuratively AND literally! The main disciplines that I develop (and subsequently read) at work are anthropology, natural resources, geosciences, and theatre. But I've worked on everything from engineering to music and love all of it!

Finally, in addition to my 9-to-5 job in book publishing, I've started my own publishing company, Unsung Voices Books! We publish nonfiction focused on historically marginalized and underrepresented voices, as well as stories that enrich our understanding of the places that make up our world.
