Off the Shelf Cast and Crew
Kghia Gherardi
Kghia Gherardi – co-host, producer and book geek
Kghia Gherardi is an Aquarius, but her typist is a Gemini. One is a water sign, the other air, so the result is a lot of steam.
Kghia is co-founder of Bookstacks, a volunteer at the Caledon Library, and she has been actively creating online reader communities for a decade.
Simeon Beresford
Simeon Beresford – co-host, producer and confirmed reader
Simeon Beresford is younger and fitter than his typist. However he is also less intelligent, so their rivalry remains on the whole friendly.
Simeon is co-founder of Bookstacks, manager of Awen, and a wicked quiz master.
Gabrielle Riel
Gabrielle Riel – technical director and founder of Radio Riel
Gabrielle Riel is the Leader of Radio Riel and owner of two Estates in Second Life, Edison and New Toulouse. She is dedicated to exploring the frontier of new media in virtual worlds.
