Baker (they/she)

Hi! I'm Baker. I'm a co-owner and CEO of Queer Haven Books. Additionally, I am an Associate Professor of Sociology. I was born and raised in Lancaster, South Carolina, and I am so excited to be back in my home state to provide resources for queer people that I wish I would have had growing up. Queer Haven Books is one of many ways that I teach my own daughter about love, diversity, and equity. Queer Haven Books is a mission based, radical bookstore and we hope you will join us on our journey!

Russell (they/he)

Hello! I am QHB's Assistant Manager. I was born and raised in the Columbia area. I moved away for many years before returning in 2022. In college, I studied history and philosophy, and briefly considered joining the academic world. Life happened, and I ended up in my dream job here. I read mostly historical fiction (which I also write) and fantasy, with occasional forays into romance, sci-fi, and horror.
