Hello..it's me...

I've never been one for blogging. I never figured I had that much to say that was interesting. At least not about myself. Hopefully all the good stuff that runs around my brain finds a way to channel down into my fingertips and taps out on my keyboard into a book. I've never felt in control of it...it just happens. When I stop to think of anything witty or intellectual to say, I sound like an idiot. So I refrain..or try to anyway. Not nearly hard enough. I'm pretty good at making people cringe. So the thought of writing a blog and interacting with the people who read my books, people who I actually respect and want to please, has been rather daunting all of these years and I have successfully avoided it. But as I'm so fond of saying, and enjoying the rolling of the eyes that I get back in return when I do, that was then and this is now. I must emerge from The Hermitage and...blog. I'll give it a try and you can read or not. I won't be offended if you won't. As John Younger says to the Pinkertons in my latest book, "We're all friends here." Of course we know how THAT turned out...
Cheers,
Marley
