I began bookselling in New Mexico in 1999 and have expanded to multiple
venues during that time. In 2001, I left my day job to become a
full-time online bookseller. Last year, our family moved to
Connecticut along with the business and approximately 5000 books.
Now you see where the displaced business name originated.
A few years ago, a friend said the bookstore's name was also related to
Science Fiction, my area of specialty. "The universe, being the
stage for many Science Fiction story lines, is predominantly an immense
void, hence the universal desert." So even though we're now in
Connecticut, the name's still appropriate.
Along with selling books, I enjoy working with
Science Fiction and Fantasy authors obtaining signed books
and bookplates.
If I can help you find a
particular book, please let me know.
