 After
three years of steady growth, we're now receiving a constant
stream of requests from authors to tour our offices. We're very
happy that so many of you are so interested! We'd like to meet
you too!
But, if
we brought you in for visits, we'd need a full time staffer
just to give tours and serve you coffee! So, in a lame attempt
to appease you, we thought we'd show you some pictures of
where we work, and tell you a little bit about it.
Our building
is a large 90 year old townhouse, or brownstone, in Frederick,
Maryland, a clean, well lit, quaint, touristy sort of town
just east of the western Maryland mountains. The area is very
rich with Civil War and rural, mountain  oriented
history. Known for being culturally part of rural areas and
farming, Frederick is now thriving partially due to being
reasonably close to Washington, DC and Baltimore, Maryland.
Since
we're in our fourth year of steady growth, we've been tempted
to move several times, but we've always ended up staying since
we like our old building so much.
Originally
heated with coal when built in 1910, the building was upgraded
decades later to the higher tech solution that we enjoy today:
clanking, hissing radiators, that put out lots of moist, comfortable
heat. The building offers other niceties also: the hardwood
floors creak, the windows rattle, and a glass door knob will
occasionally come off in your hand.
