I’m an avid reader, librarian with a MLIS degree, former information industry professional at ProQuest.com, where I managed and developed information databases for libraries around the world, a startup entrepreneur with a U.S. patent, a longtime national board member of the Women’s National Book Association, and former chair of Great Groups Reads, a program of the National Reading Group Month of that association.
Family and friends call me Bebe; work colleagues know me as Sarah; I answer to both. I was born and raised in the deep south, lived many places since then. I have three grown children, a wonderful daughter-in-law, and a remarkable son-in-law and a new grandchild, born in September 2017.
In 2016 my best friend, true love of 46 years, and husband of 42 years, died of cancer. I now live in Las Vegas with my two rescue dogs, Beau and Bessie. I am a member of Desert Spring United Methodist Church.
