I’ve been secretly dreading this post (seriously…my most awesome web designer, Liz Bemis, has wanted it for 6 weeks so we can launch the site.)  But the thing of it is, I have struggled terribly with what to write.  Writing 2 books back to back was easier than this blog post.

Seriously.

And then, in a moment of blazing clarity in front of morning TV, I realized this post was all about endings and beginnings. As I watched Diane Sawyer say her farewells on Good Morning America, I realized that each thing we end also allows us to go off and begin something new. The idea fest continued as I watched my best friend graduate from law school. Add in a move and a new day job of my own and, well, I had my post.

So here it is. The end of my life as a fairly anonymous writer and the beginning of my life in the blogosphere.

I promise this will be a place to celebrate books and words and authors.

I promise to blog as often as I can (which doesn’t mean every day, but it also doesn’t mean 6 weeks worth of wait as poor Liz has had)

Finally…I promise to have fun and make this a place you’d like to visit again.  I landed the most awesome gig in the whole wide world – I get to make up things for a living. I’m a lucky girl.

I am so grateful to have you join me. Welcome!!
