I enjoyed this slideshow* on Flavorwire of the beautiful estates of 15 authors. I especially liked the creepy gate on Stephen King’s abode. And they’re not kidding about how lovely Ernest Hemingway’s home in Key West, Florida is – I was lucky enough to enjoy a tour of it a year ago, and it was absolutely beautiful. And anywhere with that many cats (many of whom have extra toes!) is aces in my book.

*why does everything have to be a slideshow now? I understand it from an advertising perspective, but find it irritating – I would much prefer all the images on one page.
