Tasks also include: Event Wrangler and Voice of Reason
The steady hand behind the madness. Plans events, keeps the schedule (and Sam) on track, and brings the calm, competent energy of someone who knows where everything is...even in the storage closet. If Wandering Crow had a brain, it would be Michelle.
Sam - Owner
Austin - Support husband
Michelle – Manager
Owner, social media manager, and book hoarder. Also runs customer service, the website, interior design, and every other task that sounded “fun” at 2am. Makes bold decisions and then asks Michelle if they were bad. (They usually were. She does it anyway.)

Bookcase builder, furniture mover, and believer of dreams.
Let's Sam chase every wild idea with quiet nods, patient smiles, and the occasional “Are you sure?” that’s never followed by “Don’t do it.” Believes in the bookstore, the dream, and Sam’s ability to pull it off, even when surrounded by 47 open boxes and a half-built bookshelf.
