Photo Friday: Wherever You Go, There You Are
You might remember, last week I posted a photo tour of my book, Whirlwind, at My Love Affair With Books. One picture I didn’t include is a shot of one of the dorms on the Cal Poly campus (the inspiration for Santa Lucia Polythechnic):
A Red Brick Dorm
The funny thing? This ISN’T Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo! This dorm, identical to the ones at the center of Cal Poly’s campus, is found on the San Jose State campus. And I’ve seen the same buildings on the Pomona campus as well.
Do you live near a college campus? Do you have buildings like these? I wonder how many of them there are out there…
BTW, the title of this post is a quote from an old movie. 5 points if you know which one! Happy Friday!

The Bookish Brunette Reviews Whirlwind
Today’s tour stop and giveaway is at The Bookish Brunette. She gives Whirlwind 4 Stilettos:
“A delightfully quick and entertaining read- Whirlwind describes itself perfectly with it’s title!
The first 100 or so pages were like tortuously sensual, perfect foreplay between Jason and Mel. Yum. Jason is so hot like melted butter dripping off- Oh! TMI… I suppose.”
