Woohoo!!!!! Book 6 is with my editor!!!! Woohoo!!!!
Full disclosure: I still have about 2 days' work to do before I can really sit back, catch my breath and give my brain a wee break. I fell a bit behind with the travelling and fighting a horrid cold for the last week. But... book 6 is in my editor's inbox and she can start fixing my embarrassing typos. Woohoo!!!!!!!!

Edited to add: After reading all your comments - I'm an incredibly lucky person to have such kind, generous, amazing people supporting and visiting me here on Facebook. I'm honestly humbled and overwhelmed by your wonderfulness. *The* best medicine!

I spent four wonderful days in an amazing city with friends - old and new. I'm completely enchanted by the city and country, and will have to go back to explore a lot more. Just by looking at these photos you can imagine how overwhelming this place is in sight and sound. I managed to edit and work on book 6 in between all this inspiration. I hope you enjoy these few of the many, many, many, many photos I took. :-)

This is my view as I'm editing. Amazing, right? In Istanbul, still combining work and pleasure. Tomorrow we're doing a tour, so I'll have loads of photos. I'm finding this a fascinating country. Now I'm going edit to free up time for tomorrow's tour! Happy weekend, everyone!

Cat and mouse!
I'm combining work, travel and visiting dear friends this week. These pics are in my friends' kitchen with one of their gorgeous cats helping me with the editing.

Still here. Still editing. Still drinking buckets of coffee. Still forgetting to eat. Still giggling every time Francine irritates Manny. Wishing you a happy weekend!! :-)

Woohoo!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited, I've already started with the editing. The biggest part is done, a lot of coffee consumed and a lot of fun had. Now the editing, more coffee and fun ahead. Woohoo!

Feeling very Genevieve-ey. Listening to Mozart and other classical masters while writing like crazy. Hope you have a wonderful Monday!!

My writing spree got interrupted. I had planned to be further along with the writing, but then I had to go and think - a silly action that always happens when I'm on the treadmill. A bit of exercise and voila! I have brainwaves! Well, this one was little, but turned into a huge brainwave the moment I researched the idea. That led to a bit of editing, a bit more research, more editing and more research. But... I'm soooooo pleased with this key-element that just got refined!

Happy International Coffee Day!!!! A fabulous reader just alerted me to this very, very, very important day. (Thanks, Katie). Let's lift our coffee mugs in celebration. And quickly return to reading. Or refilling our mugs. Or in my case, writing and refilling my mug. :-)

The photo is a wooden masterpiece gifted to me by my sister (she knows me so well). It has an honorary place in my kitchen. Feel free to share the coffee-love today.
