Okay, here it goes... This is my first blog and my first entry. As a long-time writer, you wouldn't think the task would seem so intimidating, but at the moment, my heart is literally beating faster than I can type. Is it excitement? Is it nerves? Perhaps a bit of both. Anyhow, I'm pleased to join the rest of the online writing community in this increasingly important venue for aspiring authors. Now, back to working on manuscripts!

Whew...that wasn't so bad.
