Writers in Residence

Working from home...



Mark Twain's Hartford, CT, home




Writers in Residence


Ever wonder where famous writers lived while creating great literature?

You can see the homes of 10 well known authors, ranging from Leo Tolstoy and George Orwell to Virginia Woolf and Charles Dickens and more on Architectural Digest.
 
By the way, if you're looking for something good to read, I've recently enjoyed Alan Furst's new Midnight in Europe and Ward Just's American Romantic.  And I'm looking forward to James Ellroy's new Perfidious.

Two old friends have new books: Ron Lovell's Murder Times Two came out in July. You can order Ron's books at: www.penmanproductions.com or buy them at Barnes & Noble. For more about Ron and his books, here's his website: http://www.martindalemysteries.com/pages/author.html And Peter Yaremko has Down the Edges in the works.  Speaking of where writers lived, Peter's house in Puerto Rico is on the market: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/04/greathomesanddestinations/homes-for-sale-in-puerto-rico-maine-and-south-carolina.html?smid=nytcore-iphone-share&smprod=nytcore-iphone#100000003083851
