- Sobre mí
- So here's the thing...
Yes, I work for a major publishing house.
Yes, most of what I read comes from that company.
HOWEVER, I have worked in bookselling for a LONG FREAKING TIME and I don't/won't skew my personal opinions to push mediocrity.
I spent a dozen years working at every conceivable position at independent bookstores (from janitor to owner) before getting the tap in 2000 to be a Sales Rep. for Random House.
I now travel the Midwest to talk about books 'n' stuff with some of the best minds in the industry and do what I can to glean their wisdom.
I figure that this gives me the right to force my opinions and recommendations down the throat of any willing listener.
If I give something a good review or a lot of stars it's because I genuinely think it was worth my time and might be worth yours.
I try to keep my reviews short, informative, and passionate in the interest of giving readers and colleagues a handle. If you want something more in-depth, feel free to contact me directly!
I also have a FB page where I post occasional reviews and observations:
