Hello Again!

I see it's been over a month since I posted here. The thing is, I focus this blog on my writing process, and there hasn't really been any in awhile. 

As I posted before, we moved. It's taken awhile to get settled. That included getting our studio moved and set up, as well as moving my office trailer. (Remember the office trailer?)

We had so many things destined for my office that they were in the way, so I applied myself to finishing the trailer and moving my stuff into it. That is mostly done now. 
Oh, it's pretty messy still. The wall panels are a patchwork of different types and finishes. Not that it matters, for the most part they are covered by bookshelves and pictures. I finally retrieved all of my boxes of books from storage and put them on those shelves. It involved some weeding. 
I have six bookshelves in my office. Two tall library type metal units, and four smaller units. I made this my limit. If my books don't fit on those shelves, then I weed them until they do. I pretty much did it. 
It may change, since we have books in the house as well, and that layout is in process, so I may weed further. 
Did I mention I love books?
I got the books up on shelves, and I'm still unpacking other related office stuff. I'll post finished pix when I get it done. That will also include painting the exterior. 
Working space, man cave, whatever you want to call it. It's here!

Books

A good friend of mine, Sophia Agapedis, has written a racy and wonderful memoir."The Nigel Sessions". Knowing the lady and some of the principles, it makes for some very unusual insight into the hidden parts of lives I thought I knew. Amazing! My partner, Cat Dancing, is reading the book now. As soon as she finishes we'll post a review here!


I also just finished "The Cat Who Saw Red", number four in the "Cat Who" series by the late Lilian Jackson Braun. I've read a good many of the books, and recently came across a stash of them I hadn't read yet. I've usually enjoyed the books. They are a very light read, but sometimes that is what I'm looking for. Over time the books have become, at least for me, more of an exploration of the characters and settings than a true mystery. The escapades of Qwilleran, Koko and YumYum and all the quirky characters around him are always fun and entertaining. 
There are lots of books in the popular series. When I've read too many "hard" suspense stories the "Cat Who" books and their like make a welcome break.
The process of moving and working on the office, etc., has short circuited my writing for a bit, but I'm still reading constantly. Nothing gets in the way of that!
Namaste!
