Office space vastly improved... !

I posted about my office months ago. Click here to see what it used to look like.





This is what it looked like around 1 yesterday afternoon.















This is what it looks like today!


















Little did I know that I would be treated to an amazing acoustical box effect, as well. The sound from my Bose speakers is channeled and amplified by the desktop and shelf above it. Anyone who knows me, knows that sound is incredibly important to me. I plugged in the speakers, turned on the music and just about fell on my bum. I literally cried with joy!

My husband is the best man I know.

Two more Blog Stops today!

Read a review of Madapple, by Christina Meldrum, at The Book Faery Reviews. I love the name of this blog, by the way!

And read Susan Woodring's (author of Springtime On Mars) thoughts on why short story collections are great for discussions in book clubs at Books On The Brain. There is a link to a review of Susan's book and a book giveaway at the bottom of the post, as well.

Wow! What a week!

Yes, I know it's only Thursday, but it feels so like a Friday. This week has been an exciting, emotional roller coaster for me.

Saturday, May 31, my daughter graduated High School and moved out on her own. Monday was the first time there have been three books to promote with Blog Stop Book Tours. Tuesday was a presentation at the WAH Expo. Wednesday, more blog stops to promote, and an internet radio interview with Erika Geiss. Today is the last day of school before my other three kids start Summer break.

I'll be grateful to see the weekend, if only to decompress from this very full first week of June.
