Martin's Collection

Got a package today that said it was from Letterpress Publications. Inside was evidence that Lividian Publications is real!

You've dashed my decorating dreams!!! No HGTV show for me, LOL!!!

It actually looks great in the hallway we have it. That color needs light though. I welcome any suggestions!

I like Autumnal colors!

I find it fascinating that the two colors suggested are both in use in my house. This one is covering a wall of family photos in the front hallway. I actually painted a small piece of wall in the den with it and decided it was too dark for this room. This room has one small window and a lot of wood. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Something soft and gentle on the eye...I'd suggest a soft, warm, light olive green, like this:

It would also go with that cherry wood that you seem to have a good deal of in that room.

I like that color. It may be a little too close to the color in the hallway just through the door on the left. The hallway is olive green but just a shade darker than your sample. It is worth considering though. Will be going to a paint store this weekend to pick up some swatches. Will give that one a try. Thanks for the input!

So, looking for some suggestions. I have been re-working my den. It is now the room I spend 8 to 10 hours a day in since it is now my office. Most of the walls are covered by desk and bookcases but I have one exposed wall. I want to add color to the wall. This photo is probably not the final configuration but it will be close. What are your thought regarding what color I should paint the wall?

My Top Three are THE SPEED QUEEN, SONGS FOR THE MISSING, and A PRAYER FOR THE DYING...and in that order. Great stuff.

That is some great company. I should start this one next week.

Every time I read O'Nan I wonder why he is not a bigger name author. Then I realize that he does not fit into any category and is hard to market, but he can tell a story. My favorite O'Nan story so far is Songs for the Missing. That story really stuck with me.

Nice new stuff, Martin.

I have a signed 1st HC of THE SPEED QUEEN, too...a great read, and my favorite O’Nan (and he’s written some brilliant novels).

Speed Queen by Stewart O'Nan (Alternate title Dear Stephen King)
So I really love Stewart O'Nan's writing and am a big Stephen King fan but have never read this one. Found a signed first edition to remedy that.

For those that do not know the story Mr. O'Nan originally titled this book Dear Stephen King but Mr. King did not grant permission so the title was changed.

The first Chapbook from It Came From Beyond Pulp, Distinguishing Features by Kealan Patrick Burke and Illustrated by Corrinne Halbert.
I will read this next week and am also looking forward to it. I am also very interested in seeing what else It Came From Beyond Pulp produces.
