Now I need a Book Shelf

It’s my ambition this tax season to make some home improvements starting with my office. [Yes, I said tax season. I’m counting on that rebate this year!] The first thing I want to do, in lieu of getting a door on my office, is get rid of the dog’s couch. Of course I won’t leave Saber without a place to lounge away his blissfully uncluttered afternoons, but I really need a better piece of furniture in here. This one is 13 years old and ugh.

After than, I want a new bookshelf, but I’ve decided I need a very special bookshelf. One to hold all of the print books written by my crit partners and writing buddies. We’re getting quite a collection going and they really should have their own shelf.

In addition to finding out that Fresh Blood will be sharing print with Annalee Blysse’s Never a Sunset and Marie Morin’s Eternity in an upcoming anthology called Immortal Lovers, I found out that Annalee’s Starlit Destiny will also go to print in the coming months.

So along with Conjured in Flames, Hunters, and Immortal Lovers, I need to make room for Starlit Destiny, the Relic Anthology, Michelle Perry’s Cain and Abel and her upcoming In Enemy Hands and Love: An Anthology featuring a story by Judith Fox.

That shelf is going to get full pretty fast. Amazing, isn’t it? A year ago the majority of us were unpublished and none of us had print books available. Look what a year can do. Imagine where we’ll all be a year from now.

Where were you last year? And where do you see yourself a year from now?
