Borg Reading to an SRO crowd at the library

Even gorgeous Mt. Ranier can't seem to distract Sandy from her new book! 

Pat in camping mode, doing one of the things she likes best

Chester the Wonder Dog got hold of a rare advance copy of Tahoe Hijack and wanted Joan to check in on Spot.

This is the tacky view looking south from Tahoe City. Sailing at 6230 feet in the mountains is like nothing else. In the distance, sans snow, are just a couple of the hundred or so ski runs at Heavenly, the huge resort that Vail bought a couple of years ago. (They also bought Northstar.) On the lower left is "The Face," 1700 vertical feet of the meanest bumps in the country, and to the right "Gunbarrel." Up above is Jobs Sister, the second tallest mountain in Tahoe, It looms more than 4600 feet above the lake. Freel Peak, the highest Tahoe mountain, is just out of the picture to the right.

Taya, Mike, Russ, and Annie reading Tahoe Hijack at Lake Superior

The Golden Valley Book Club from Minnesota got together at Alpine Meadows (The famous ski resort just down the Truckee River from Tahoe City).

They gave me Harlequin Great Dane bookends!

For TESTIMONIALS ABOUT BORG'S TALKS,  or a list of venues where Borg has spoken, please visit the SPEAKING page of this website.

A little snow to shovel??? It's true that we live in an especially snowy part of Tahoe. But 10 feet on the ground outside of our house on March 25, 2011 was a bit much! Our drive sits a little above our house, so this is the walkway that goes down, then turns to the left to continue to our house. Keeping the drive and walk clear can be a full time job. 

For more information about Tahoe snow, go to this same picture near the bottom of the Tahoe Tour page.

Kittens love the way Great Danes are so gentle

This view of the sun peeking through the clouds is from Sand Harbor State Park, an amazing collection of sand beaches, giant boulders and turquoise water. Sand Harbor is also the location of the famed Shakespeare On The Beach theater, as seen below. You can sip a glass of wine while you enjoy the best of the Bard from the perfect amphitheater with the world's most amazing backdrop.

When Sandy decided to take a ski break at Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia, she opted for some Heat to counteract the snowy winter.

Power boat and two kayaks from a shore cliff. The shadows on the bottom show how clear the water is!

This is a view of 10,000 foot Steven's Peak as seen looking down south down Christmas Valley, which is south of South Lake Tahoe. Just behind Steven's Peak (out of sight) is Red Lake Peak. Below them to the left is Hope Valley (also out of sight)

This is Hope Valley an hour before October's first major winter storm. Hope Valley sits at 7000 feet, just south of Tahoe, over Luther Pass on Highway 89. The mountain in the far distance to the right is 10,400-foot Roundtop. just up from Woods Lake near Carson Pass.

Borg Getting a lesson from Mark Twain

This is the main pedestrian street in the Village at Squaw Valley. In the far distance, silhouetted against the sky, is the cable car tower at the top of the cliff.

Some readers just gotta find a way to cool off when they're reading a hot book! This woman from Portland found a cooler big enough to float in. (Photo credit: Sarah O)

When the Lathams and the Buttses were waiting for James Taylor to perform at Tanglewood in Massachusetts, they passed their time reading a good book and sent me a picture...

My readers are the BEST! Here is JoAnn James who drove 100 miles to one of my signings, and brought me a beautiful and exquisitely-crafted wine bag that she made by hand - special compartments for wine and glasses and padding to protect everything. (JoAnn correctly reasoned that if Owen McKenna likes wine, probably the author guy does, too.) Not only that, but she put her gift inside a bag with Spot's picture on it!
