About me

IntroductionI am one of the two district sales managers for Random House adult books, covering a territory of Texas, Oklahoma, and Mississippi. I joined Random House after working 9 years at BookPeople, the large, independent bookstore in Austin, Texas. I am the result of a double major (English and History) from a liberal arts college who sort of learned to think, but never learned how to have career aspirations. There are a lot of us in the book industry.
InterestsBooks, baseball, basketball, the National Parks (and visiting all of them), absurd and potentially offensive gifts, and books
Favorite moviesAntonia's Line, Thelma & Louise, Tremors, Office Space, Casa Blanca, All About Eve, Finding Neverland, Gosford Park
Favorite musicI don't really listen to much music, but there are some nice Muppets songs--The Rainbow Connection, Being Green--that I like.
Favorite booksBeloved, Sula, The Hakawati, Cloud Atlas (the David Mitchell novel), A Room of One's Own, Written on the Body, We Were the Mulvaneys, Blonde, John Henry Days, Surfacing, just about everything written by Margaret Atwood, Joyce Carol Oates, and Zadie Smith
