Do You Have a Second Life

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

You heard me right. Lone Wolf rented a space for me on Second Life. It has been a grand experience watching it build into something. The bottom floor is all about The Trilogy and the upper floor is all about Free Audio Bookshelf. We are located at 25 Gutenberg Alley at the corner of Lovejoy Square on Book Island. Just down the street from Quills. Come and join us in SL.

Upstairs Free Audio Bookshelf will be providing a library environment where you can go her hear in a play and later live the readings of The Mark of a Druid and coming soon The Fox. Later Arlene Radasky and myself will be bringing you many other books. If you stop by and we are not there feel free to click on things and get free samples find out about SL contests and connect to other events.

There are only 3 more days left to vote for your favorite Wicked Woman Writer in the Horror Addicts WWW Challenge.

New Office

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

If  you all follow me on Twitter then you know this weekend we moved my office back to where it was before my middle son moved home after serving in Iraq. For the last year I have been in the formal dinning room, with I must say a killer view of the trees but no doors and zero privacy. Now that he has his own place again I got my office back.

Wherever you move a creative space it is never easy to get set back up again. I thought it would take a lot longer than it did. So here is its.

The Work Space

The Rest Space

Take a nap? Hang out with a book and a blanket or play with the kitties as they hang out on their condo.

Coffee Bar

Nothing happens in my life without coffee and tea. Kena ground for a flat!

The New View

Still a great view and less glass for recording. I hope the recording doesn’t change a lot but I will work it out I am sure.

Above the Desk

A place for my stuff. I am going to miss the cover art when I award it dec 31 this year to a luck contest winner. What will I put in that space then? Can anyone tell me why I have frames magnifying glasses? Comment your answer here and the person that gets it right wins a signed poster.

Now Back to Work

Yes, it is all done and set up I am ready to crank out the next book.
