Welcome to Deckles and Dragons! Please grab a mug of ale, sit by the fire, and listen to the minstrel sing tales of heroic deeds. Your quest is about to begin!
Who am I?
I am a recent graduate from the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Simmons College in Boston. At any given moment, I am a bookworm, gamer, writer, librarian, fan, antiquer, musician, and/or crafter. But most of all, I am a geek. I bake Lembas bread on a regular basis and keep Star Wars Mad Libs in my purse.
