Kiva - loans that change lives


Please check this site out. You can really make a long-term difference in more than one life, and even help to end poverty in some of the most troubled places on earth. There is a reason why a man won the Nobel Peace Prize for a micro-loan program. Seriously, help save the world.

If you are a Kiva lender and live in Charlottesville, please join the Charlottesville team!

I am a bookseller in a large chain bookstore in a smallish town. I am also a bead freak and do all kinds of bead stringing and beadwork and collecting cool beads. Alas, more collecting than actually doing anything with the beads. I am a fan of sf/fantasy books. I am not a big fan of most of the stuff that is incredibly popular in bookstores these days, which sometimes makes life difficult in customer service in the store. I watch news tv compulsively and spend too much time on news websites. I have three cats and I adore them, even when they drive me almost as crazy as customers do.



Sandra Catherine Nix 1/11/1975 - 11/23/2005 The coolest sister ever.

Cat - I will miss you forever. You were my sister and my best friend and the one person whose opinion mattered more that anyone else's. You were the only one who knew what it was like to grow up with me. Your openness and your empathy for others inspire me more than I can say. Your loss is a hole I can not fill, no matter how hard I try. May you continue to inspire everyone who knew you.

I am the creator and maintainer of [info]bn_booksellers. If you work for B&N, or any bookstore for that matter, check it out.


Icons: yeah, I have a bunch of them. I only have a very few that I don't want taken, and all others are free for the ganking. If I have credit in the comments, please use it. Otherwise, I really don't know where it came from - if it is yours, please let me know! If I don't want you to take an icon, I make it clear. If you have any questions, let me know. I promise I won't hold questions against you.






Thank you [info]fluidic_icons for the colorbar.









I have referred to Ashley Blakemore and Marand Deltanon and others as separate people, but they are fictional characters. I am in the process of writing about them. Don't worry about me too much! They are just the characters I wrestle with as I try to write the books I have always dreamed of writing! ;)
