Saturday fun picture -- My office
Derek recently took some pictures of me working in my office. The rest of them are still trapped in his digital camera, so for today I'll just post the one. And in huge news (at least for me because I've waited so long for this), a professional photographer friend of mine has some snazzy software that can do what I haven't been able to get done -- blow up my book covers to 20 x 30 inches for me to have framed. That's one of the things I'd always imagined and dreamed about all those years while I was working toward getting published -- having framed posters of my book covers on a wall in my office. I now have an office, and I'm about to get framed book covers. I don't know, but the framed covers will just make it all seem more real somehow. The wall I'm facing in the pic above is completely empty now -- but eventually will have framed covers for all four of my books (to be added as they're published). And I told Derek that if my publisher wants to keep my series keeps going -- buy my books and they will ; ) -- then we'll just have to start hanging cover posters out in the loft outside my office.
The technical problems continue with my computer -- it refuses to acknowledge the existence of our home network. So no Internet access for me until Derek can fix it. I'm posting this from his computer. His keyboard looks strange (all of the keys still have letters on them) a lot of mine are worn off. ; ) I can't check my email either, but keep sending in your requests for MLTF and A&M postcards -- I will get them.
Have a great weekend!

Oh my gosh, there must be some mistake. That can't be an office--you can see the floor!
Do all those swords and daggers ever make your visitors nervous? (Says the woman with a small arsenal in her closet and shooting trophies on her bookcase.) :)
I love your swords! Can you use them or are they only decorative?
That office is ENTIRELY too neat and tidy! You make me ashamed. My husband says that you'd better bring your battleaxe if you want to break into that office. What lovely swords and weaponry.
I agree, the fact that you can see the floor is amazing! Love all the swords and daggers, too.
Thank you, ladies! Actually I'll be adding some more daggers soon. And yes, the rapiers and matching daggers have been well used. The rapier and matching parrying dagger to the right are Derek's. The pair of rapiers and dagger to the left are mine. The slightly shorter rapier was custom made for me and is flawlessly balanced. Great weapon! And as to the neatness, my brain is cluttered enough, I simply can't work in anything but a spotless office.
BTW -- I'm on Derek's laptop. Mine still refuses to connect to the house network, so no email for me until either he can fix it, or until I get to work tomorrow morning. So if anyone has emailed me, I will respond.
Laurie, at the moment I only have one gun -- the shotgun I asked for (and got) for my 16th birthday. Hmmm, perhaps I should put that on my office wall too. ; )
I have a .44 magnum. I love it. BOOM! It has a hair trigger though, and it's kind of scary.
A magnum?! Oooo, girl. ; )
LOL Tia. You go, girl.
