I am a librarian, freelance writer, and artist. I co-authored the book Desegregation in Northern Virginia Libraries (History Press 2023) and am a columnist for Computers in Libraries magazine. I geek old manual typewriters and Alaskan brown bears.

If you're looking for a fascinating nonfiction book that will make you neglect your household chores, I recommend The Yahoo Boys. After his mother was duped in a romance scam, the author traveled to Nigeria to get to know the men and boys who deceive Westerners online for a living. #Booksky 📚 💙

Back matter includes a note from a Katmai Park Ranger, Katmai Conservancy-approved info on #FatBearWeek, and more. 📚 #nonfiction #kidlit 🐻🐻🐻
