About the Proprietor

I’m an antiquarian and medievalist at heart.  I’m intrigued by the psychology of western religion and medicine from the 5th century into the 1600’s.  My favorite architecture is gothic churches.  Several resident gargoyles live in my home.  I’m an book-loving introvert – and occasional writer – who haunts used bookstores, libraries and old churches (check out the North American Church Crawler Society).
