introduction

OK, I'll jump in with my introduction...

I run The Herb Growing & Marketing Network, a trade association/information 
service for the herb industry with around 2000 members.  I edit The Herbal 
Green Pages, a 450 page resource guide that's updated every 3 months (because 
these people keep moving around, changing names, etc).  I also manage 
herbnet.com and herbworld.com which are pretty comprehensive sites on herbs 
and the herb industry.  I design websites for businesses and host them as 
well.  

My latest obsession is Herbalpedia....an ongoing encyclopedia of herbs on a 
CD....The monographs are comprehensive ranging from 2-10 pages with 
everything I can find on a specific plant including uses and recipes from 
food and medicine to cosmetics, aromatherapy and dye plants.  I got tired of 
having to search through 20 books and the web to find material on one plant 
so now I'm putting everything together to save myself and others time (and 
it's been selling pretty well as well).  It's in Adobe Acrobat format and 
sells at $48....if people renew each year they get an updated CD with another 
couple hundred plants added for only $24.  Searchable with color photos of 
almost every plant.  Current edition has over 350 plants....2003 will be 
around 700 (I don't sleep much).  

Echinacea is the herb of the year for 2002 and you can find a monograph on it 
along with promotional pictures (and information about Herbalpedia)  at 
http://www.herbnet.com/herbalpedia_final.htm

I lecture around the country on herbs and the business of herbs, am a massage 
therapist and if ever truly desperate, I'm a CPA (past life thing)

I've enjoyed being a member of GWAA but this group has been more informative 
than what I've received from them without a doubt.
