Writers in Residence

Where did some famous writers live while producing 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 architecturaldigest.com.

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; here’s Ron’s 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
