I don’t know where other authors keep copies of their books or even if they do, but I keep mine on a shelf in the sitting room, near the TV.
My books.
When I first published The Truth about Tomorrow, I kept looking at it on the shelf. I’d be watching something on TV and then find myself staring at my own book cover instead. My own book cover! My own book! A book I published! A book I wrote, edited, proofread, then rewrote, re-edited and re-proofread before sending it to the professionals to work. It was such an amazing feeling when the dream of being a published author finally came through.
I think my books deserve pride of place.
