Patricia M. Cryan is, by turns, a retailer who never sleeps, a walking library of children’s literature, a repository of memories gleaned from a lifetime of reading non-juvenile science fiction and horror, and a freelance editor who makes strong folk cry at regular intervals.
She serves as General Partner for Mike’s Comics [http://www.mikescomics.com], a mail order and Internet company established in 1976, which carries comic books, science fiction and fantasy books and collectibles, roleplaying game supplies, fantasy greeting cards, and much, much more.
She has been active in bookselling since 1987 and is a member of The New England Children’s Bookselling Advisory Council, an offshoot of NEIBA - the New England Independent Booksellers Association. Their website can be viewed at http://www.newenglandbooks.org/index.html.
Her most current literary project involves editorial work on THE EDGECLIFF STORYBOOK; an excerpt can be found at http://www.edgecliffabbey.com.
For the most part, the Blog function here at MySpace is a mirror for her book blogs at LiveJournal and WordPress. Suggestions on how better to use the Blog function are most welcome.
