About LemurKat:
LemurKat is a Zoology Geek and a Bibliophile rolled into one. This possibly explains why she has a Science Degree but chooses to work in a bookstore. Her love of the exotic and the unusual has led her on several overseas expeditions - to Australia, Hawaii and Madagascar, with further trips planned for the future. For now she lives happily in New Zealand with her wonderful (not-so-long-suffering) husband and spoilt inner child.
