Avon Books moved offices last week. It was recently decided that our 9th floor would be turned into a modern conference center and digital area, which meant moving the entire floor--Morrow and Avon editors, along with our respective marketing teams--to the 5th floor.

I would like to share with you some pictures:

BEFORE / AFTER
Yes, I actually have a bit more desk surface in my new office. But take a look at my view:

Before (that would be the side of St. Patrick’s Cathedral)

After (this would be the side of a brick wall)


Anyway, the move sparked a frenzied cleaning of my bookshelves and I discovered multiple copies of several titles. What to do with them?

Then, I learned about this wonderful organization, Share the Love. They donate romances to “non-profit organizations that provide assistance to women in transitional periods of their lives--homeless and domestic violence shelters, prisons and recovery half-way houses--and that help them establish independent lives.”

I couldn’t be happier that my books will find a new home.
