Still a whirlwind a top the Hill of Beans; contracts are off to our newest writer, Michael E. Benson's second installment in the Frank Petrovic series is being prepared for pre pub reviews and Emjae Edward's sixth (!) book goes on sale the second of July. 

Speaking of Emjae, the Boss gave her a couple of bowls as a 'just because' gift. Bowls may not seem like great gifts to the rest of us, but these had birds on them, and Emjae loves the birds she's discovered since she moved to the desert.  I won't say where the Boss found them, (imagine a bull's eye) but Emjae loves them.  Who knows, she might be inspired to write a book about birds, or bowls, or friends who give bowls, or friends who are for the birds.

Here's a couple of pictures, if you're curious.

The Boss is still working away on the two new offerings, so I decided to play with the Official Smartphone of Inknbeans, the Inknberry.  I found a video we made of some snow geese near the office last week.  Add a little Vivaldi, and voila...my first Youtube video.

Nothing like a brisk winter morning to make you appreciate a fire and good hot beverage. 
We were in the office by six thirty this morning, but as soon as things were set up, we took a break to look at the flora and fauna, while having our breakfast.  We get many birds here; from the tiniest hummingbirds to red tail hawks with a wingspan like a jumbo jet.  Every morning we are visited by quail and mourning doves and tiny birds in yellow waistcoast which the Boss says might be finch.  The Boss is always feeding them breadcrumbs so every morning we have more birds and a greater variety.
Once the routines were seen to, we came back to the office, started a fire, and got into position for another busy day.  Today we're working on the website.  The Boss said I could have a blog to talk about what matters to me, although I don't what I would talk about.  I guess, today, I talked about birds.  And bread.  And hot beverages.  Maybe next time I'll talk about the Boss and books. 
Have a great day!
