My best friend at my favorite place on Lake Erie,
Marblehead and Marblehead Lighthouse, in 2005.
I post new photos
frequently below
my writer's cave
photos. Just
posted are photos
from the June 9,  
2008 book-signing
in Greensburg,  
Indiana, including
some  from Lori
Foster's June,
2008 event !
Sheena in my writer's cave. She's more cat than dog.  She'd sit on window ledges
and look out, if we had ledges! We have a family joke, she's half cat because of the
looking outside thing and because of how she pounces on her prey, half rabbit
because of the way she jumps (sometimes vertically), and half wolf because of her
howl.  According to my oldest son, she's also a "hair factory" because she sheds
so many times a year-3 times since the fall alone, and this year's fall and winter
shed hasn't even happened yet! My dustbunnies are hairbunnies, but I don't care, I
still love her anyway! Last night, August 23rd, 2008, she added a new suffix to her
name:  Sheena the dreaded mouse\rat\cat\groundhog\bat killer. She nabbed a bat in
midair last night in our house and killed it before I could stop her! Bats eat tons of
mosquitoes and other pesky bugs each night.
My office as seen from the living room. As
you can tell, I LOVE books! If you look
carefully, you can also see bits of my other
loves, Star Trek and my art desk for when I
have time for doing drawings with various
media.

June 2008.
Just one of the many tables of raffle prizes
at the event. The basket I won was off to
the right of the lady in white.
Kate Douglas, whose book, Wolf TalesVI, I
won in a tote with a cute stuffed wolf.
My sister-in-law, Cathy, and me taking a
picture of the door at Rainbow Books & Gifts
in Greensburg, Indiana, June 9, 2008
"My name in lights" well almost. But I was
surprised to see it! Me on a billboard!
That's my brother, Howard, and his wife
Cathy is in the background. The
photographer cut off her head. Sorry, Cathy.
Donna, the bookstore owner took the
picture. She's very gracious and helpful. If
you're ever in Greensburg or Versailles,
Indiana, stop in to her store and buy
something to support a good bookseller!

Books and Gifts. Much smaller than
at COFW's event last year!
