About Me
A ravenous reader with a burning love for pop culture and balloon twisting, I write about comics, libraries, and comics in libraries. I have two master’s degrees, one in Library and Information Science from Kent State University and the other in English from Ohio Dominican University. I now work as a collection development manager for a public library, and I am the Graphic Novel Selector for a library vendor. I live in Greater Cleveland with my husband, two dogs, a cat, and pet rats.
