Shiny desk is shiny and inspiring! Had to ask about the keyboard, as I have never seen one like that. Is it easier on the hands/wrists?
Also huge congratulations on the three book deal, so happy for you and for all your readers. As a reader and a bookseller I am doubly happy, so looking forward to watching these titles come in and fly off of Uncle Hugo's shelves! Love the two titles you have settled on, especially like the "Trade Secret" titling, very clever, catchy and spot on.
On the worry side, hope you get your self checked out sooner rather than later, I do not like the sound of "dizzy and breathless" at all, especially since Steve just went several rounds with pneumonia...
Thank you for the congrats. I do like Trade Secret myself.
The keyboard is a Kinesis classic. The keys being in pockets, like they are, means that I have to type with my fingers down and less strain on my wrists. Which, since I have tendinitis in both wrists brought on by 40 years and more of daily typing, is a Good Thing.
I love the keyboard, now, but the learning curve is a bear, and I don't recommend it at all for someone who isn't what we used to call back in the day a "touch typist".
Congrats on your desk! Mine is now being used by 3 people in the family, and I have given up seeing it again for a bit. I do have piles of papers on the floor for all MY stuff though. Kathy in CA
