My New Office

We're big on home improvement at my house. It's almost a form of entertainment with us. Yes, we are a very scary family!

I'm even planning a whole new Bravo series-within-the-series tentatively titled Bravo Family Business. The grandchildren of James Bravo--click here to see where he fits on the family tree--will own a sprawling business that covers everything from building to selling to remodeling houses. Flip This House meets This Old House meets Designed to Sell...anything on the TLC or the HG channel will be fair game. Can't wait to get into those books...

My point being?

I moved my office! More home improvement ensued as we revamped the empty space.

But this is about my new office. Right? Yeah!

I love it and I have pictures! As you may have already guessed, that's my new desk area above.

Beyond that...



Desk area--before desk.



Work closet--took me hours to organize this. Hours, I tell you. The boxes on the floor are full of my own books, seven copies of each, plus copies of various reissues and anthologies. Why seven? Good question. Seemed like a good number at the time.


These two bookcases are mostly research books, with that one row on the left of my own books.


Inspiration Wall.



My great-grandmother's rocker. My grandmother brought it with her to California back in the 1920's. Generations of babies rocked in that chair.

I'm Blogging at.....

....Tote Bags 'n Blogs. Come visit me here.

Also, I'm moving my office. From one of the living areas at the front of my house to a more private new location in what used to be a guest bedroom. Think I'm gonna like it there.

Started moving the bookcases. And the books. I cannot believe how many books I've got. I know, other readers are not the least impressed by this news. You've all got a million books, too.

More on this later. I'll get in there and take some pictures. Of piles of books...

More Cover Love

Found this cover today on B&N. Love it! I had no idea they were reissuing MIDSUMMER MADNESS, which came out as a Desire back in 1992--I was ten at the time, of course!--and was a RITA nominee, as well.

This edition will hit the stands in September. It's the story of shy Juliet Huddleston who's determined to make her next thirty years more exciting than the first thirty. Cody McIntyre is more than willing to help her with that!



Here's the original.


I bet you can guess which one I like better.... ;)

Oh, and you can enter to win a copy of the original edition on my website. It's one of the prizes in my current contest.
