Guest TBR: Patti O'Shea
Think your TBR pile is big? Take a look at Patti's 'cathedral'. Love it!
Patti says:
This is my unfinished basement and book cathedral. Unfortunately, time is short and I haven't finished unpacking my books since I moved into my house. Plus, my dad is still putting some of them together hence the tools and shop vac.
On the left, my bookcases are lined up back to back, so behind the two you see are two you don't see. I have three bookcases completely full and two others partially filled. There

Guest TBR pile: Mary-Theresa Hussey
Get a look at this TBR pile! And it's...alphabetized! This one belongs to Executive Editor Mary-Theresa Hussey, who edits the Luna line at Harlequin/Silhouette. What a great way to start our guest TBR pile month with this fascinating look at an editor's hoard. :-)

This is the TBR pile for the A-R authors with a few scattered that I want to read sooner. There is another bookcase in another room at home for the rest of the alphabet (and more hardcovers), and a bookcase and

Updates
Finished ANGEL SLAYER yesterday and don't have to mail it in this time, but can actually email it. Such ease! So Monday will mail that in to NY. Also have a proposal for #2 to write—tentatively titled FALLEN—and I think I actually know what I'm going to do with that story. Though I haven't a clue how to end it. I've heard some authors wish they could send a proposal that goes to this effect: Hero and Heroine meet. Fall in love. In the middle stuff happens. Happily ever after.

Guest Desks: A Look Back
In Feb and March 2006 I did Guest Desks. Those were fun! I love to pour over the details in a person's office and what they keep on their desks. Hey, so I'm snoopy! Here's a link to the desks, which if you page down, you find the first was Alexandre Dumas' cottage in France (this was posted after my trip to Paris). The order of desks is backwards. And at the end of February I had a few desks to start. And if you want to see pics from my Paris trip keep paging down.

Guest Gardens: A look back
In the summer of 2006 I did guest gardens. Here's a link to the archives. I don't know how to bring you right to the point in the month of July where the gardens start, so it brings you to beginning of July. Page down about halfway to start viewing the gardens. Or scan the posts and check out the cool pics 0f hawks visiting my birdbath that summer.
Remember to stop by next week to view the Guest TBR piles!

To Be Read (but not as fast as I wish)
If you're a reader or a writer you own a To Be Read (TBR) pile. No way to get around it. It is simply a fact of life. We love books. We adore books. We hoard books. When a new book comes out we want to read, we buy it. But it doesn't always get read right away because, well, we are reading other books! So it goes on the TBR pile. We adore our TBR piles. They are a symbol of our riches. We loathe our TBR piles. They are a symbol of all the ignored stories we haven't had a chance to ge

Nope, your eyes are not fooling you. This is the cover for one of my three September releases. Seriously! I have been known to do down-home, feel-good, funny stuff on occasion. This is the seventh in the Mossy Creek series and features pets. I was invited to write a short story in the collection a few years ago, and it's finally coming out! My story is about a cat. And yes, I did cringe when I saw a dog on the cover. :-)
