About
I’m from near-Seattle, married to a German, and living in southern Germany, near Munich. I knit. I read. I need a job but I’m not much of a self-promoter, so um, that’s going to take awhile.

I am a former bookstore owner who would like to write about my book scouting trips on weekends.My area of special expertise is getting up early (ok-not that early) and seeing what fresh used /rare books have been laid out for me at our local flea market.I have been going to this particular market for the last 7 years and have found all sorts of strange things there.
One of the strangest was a mimeographed ( 1945/6 era) book which was kind of a yearbook for displaced persons -mostly Eastern Europeans- awaiting passage to the USA. They were organized by nationality and were held in camps in the Netherlands before countries could be found to take them.
I have found innumerable books signed by their authors-most of them quite justifiably obscure.Still they are a source of interest to me.
Another thing I do know a great deal about is books about jazz.For some unknown reason, I was personally compelled to read many hundreds of books on jazz music.As a result,I am an excellent reviewer of jazz books -far better at reviewing jazz books than playing good chord/melody style jazz on the guitar.Another area of expertise is science fiction-an possibly outdated genre today.It’s almost like the western genre -going not so slowly out of existence.
I’d like to post blogs on your site.What do I have to do?
