I coordinate author events, marketing, and manage the website at Bookworks, and have worked here since 2007. I'm a professional violist, having just finished my M.M. at UNM, and I perform with groups like Santa Fe Pro Musica, Opera Southwest, and other artists around Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The number of books I own is growing exponentially the longer I work here, and I've started building a nice collection of current-ish fiction.
Right now, I'm reading an upcoming book called My American Unhappiness.
