The Officers of The Rafael Sabatini Society

Frank Krieger, President

Frank is a network engineer by day and a bibliophile by night. Indeed he has been a bookworm all of his life. Many years ago, during a conversation on literature, he posed a simple and innocent question to his father, "so what kind of books did you read 50 years ago"? Little realizing what a profound impact his response would create, his father's enthusiastic endorsement would commence Frank's quest of reading and collecting the marvelous adventure novels of Rafael Sabatini. Years later, he has compiled one of the more extensive collections of Rafael Sabatini books sitting alongside the classics of Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson, H. Rider Haggard, Sir Walter Scott, Alexandre Dumas and hundreds of others that line his bookshelves.

His collection includes over 5,000 pre-1940 books in original dustjackets—about half of these books are juvenile series books and the other half are popular fiction including classic mysteries, adventures, swashbucklers, early sci-fi & westerns. He is a particularly avid fan of older mystery series up through the 1930s (whether "juveniles" including the Rover Boys, Tom Swift, the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew) or suspense and espionage tales like the thrilling pages of The Saint, James Bond, Fu Manchu, Philo Vance or even a Sherlock Holmes story.

A.G. Lindsay, Vice-President

A.G. Lindsay (rimfire) is a graphic and web designer, technical writer and illustrator, and is generally willing to jump into any project that she finds interesting. She and Jesse Knight founded the Life and Work of Rafael Sabatini and she still works as its webmaster and chief coder. In her "off" time, she makes jewelry, collects Fiestaware, reads, and caters to two extremely spoiled cats.

David March, Secretary-Treasurer

David March is a librarian in the Moving Image Section of the Library of Congress, where he works as a motion picture cataloger, archivist, historian, and projectionist. His appreciation for the 1935 film adaptation of Captain Blood led to an even greater appreciation of the novel and subsequent interest in Sabatini's other works. Besides his obvious love for film and historical fiction, David also enjoys musical theatre, opera (especially Der Ring des Nibelungen), video games, sports, and spending time with his wife, three children, two Pug dogs, and one cat.
