I have been selling online since 2003. It started out as a way to make a little extra cash to help out with family finances.
My husband and I also operated a lawn maintenance/landscaping business full time here in Florida for over 20 years. I have always loved books and really liked meeting new people so this was just a fun, part-time hobby for me.
Then my husband of 34 years was killed suddenly in a motorcycle accident two weeks before Christmas in 2005.
I am still operating our lawn business but I prefer not to hire any employees so I had to scale back, I do everything myself and I stay in good shape. My bookselling has now become a neccessity because I was also left with a seven acre mini-farm complete with dogs cats and horses!
I have two sons that are grown with families of their own so financially I am on my own. However I am doing what I love. I run both of my businesses myself and so far I have been pretty successful.
I keep very busy and I get to interact with many interesting people both in the "real" world and online.
I really couldn't ask for more!
