I am a reference librarian at a public library on Long Island.  I am an avid reader   especially of romantic suspense novels. I also self-published a novel and just finished my second book that I am hoping to try to publish traditionally. I have a husband, daughter, and two cats. I am a member of the Cat Writer's Association and the Nassau County Library Association. I write and edit reviews for my library's monthly staff picks newsletter and order the fiction and mystery books for our collection that serves 40,000 patrons.
