I have exciting plans for this space--updates, reviews, contests, random comments, and more. And I've also given Blue--the main character of Haunting Blue--her own space to spout off as she feels the need.

Soon I'll announce the name of the forward-thinking publisher of impeccable taste that snapped up Haunting Blue and sets out to make it a sure-fire bestseller.

How's that for positive thinking?

Thanks to everyone who helped get me this far, particularly my agent Kelly Mortimer, who has shown in countless ways how much she believes in my talent. Kel's fine taste is only surpassed by her ability to match a sure-fire bestseller with the perfect forward-thinking publisher.

Words can't express my gratitude to Debra Holland, my primary peer editor since 2001. Deb's insight into my work (plus her ability to beat me relentlessy over the head with the flaws in my craft) reminds me why we keep pursuing "the dream" when things go south.

Thanks always to my wife Linda for...well...pretty much everything. And my parents for their unconditional support, even when I suspect they have no idea what the hell I'm doing.

And Chuck, my best bud. You rock! No matter what anyone says. :)

So. Take a look around, make yourself comfortable. Check out the first exerpt from my novel. And in a couple weeks, come back to read a real column.
