My First Blog

Alright, everyone.  I am brand new at this blogging thing.  And I’m virtually clueless when it comes to setting up websites.  That being said, I hope you are able to navigate the site without too much difficulty.  I’ve spent several hours setting it up.  Hours which would have been better put to use writing the second book in the Laurel Creek series.  Oh, well.  Website design is one of the many housekeeping duties I didn’t plan on when I set out to become an author.  However, I must admit I’m loving every minute of this crazy journey I’m on.

I am, by nature, a private person.  The need to market my first book, At Long Last, has catapulted me out of my comfort zone.  I’ve outed myself as an aspiring writer to virtually everyone I know.  Until last week, only a very select few people knew I was working on my first manuscript.  Even my mother had no idea until I downloaded At Long Last to her Kindle!  Since then, I have been humbled and amazed at the response.  The support and encouragement I’ve received has erased all of my self doubt.  Well, most of it, anyway.  Self publishing has forced me to take a leap of faith.  It’s been scary and exciting, but I am up for the challenge.

I’ll keep this first post short.  Wishing you all a goodnight!
