The Web Site is Finally Here!

*gasps and whistles and a few detached groans*

I know it seemed like I would never resurrect this web site–or my communication with fans. Seriously, readers (and other bystanders): I owe you a big, fat, hairy apology.

Okay, leave out the hairy part.

But, I am sorry. SO sorry. For not writing back to fans, for not updating the old site sooner, for not getting hip to the blog life before now.

I could rattle off a zillion reasons why I failed. Here are the top 8:

My Nana had it right when she told me, "Don't bite off more than you can chew." (Chomp, chomp.)
I had three kids in a row and slid into mommy land, leaving a lot of writer land behind.
I wasn't paying attention and suddenly four years went by. Jeepers, some of my Madison Finn fans from way back are probably out of college by now.
Kids took up more time and energy than I expected.
Did I mention that I had kids?
I joined Facebook. Oy.
I am easily distracted by just about–Hey! Look! Squirrel!  (Yes, that is an UP reference.)
And the truth: my original "flash" web site was a lotta fun–but I could never quite figure out how to update it on my own and then the person who designed it for me up and moved away to become a musician and not a web site designer and then I just gave up when I should have tried harder. Boo hoo.

But let's face it, we can all beat ourselves up for our mistakes. You know what I mean? End of story: I'm here to start over.

And so, without further ado, may I present this way less flashy but waaaay more informative web site. As the snow from our winter-from-hell begins to melt, I'm coming out of my own huge freeze. There's a big thaw all around.

I like new, don't you? Like a new pair of shoes or the smell of fresh paint. I'm embarking on new projects, new writing workshops, and new everything–and I plan to keep you all updated right here. Click around for all the information. And visit often!

Thanks to each of you who ever read/is planning to read/is reading one of my books. I owe you a very big virtual hug for stopping by and sticking by me. I promise I will do better. Drop me a note and tell me what you think–and what you'd like to see on my page.
