This first post is just to tell everyone hello and welcome to my little corner of cyberspace. There are many things that this space can accomplish, but I suppose the most important, to me anyway, is just to inform people of my existence. I am a newly published author and although I have two books on the market, I am still an unknown to the reading public. This is my self introduction to the world. So, hello world!

This will also be my venting place; a place where I can simply voice my opinions and gripes of the world in general or my praises of same world. Sometimes good things do happen and I like to be able to talk about those as well. Beware. I do have opinions and I am not afraid to use them! Feel free to disagree in an agreeable manner and post your own opinions here as well. I do not expect everyone to agree with me. In fact, most people don't. But that's okay. As long as neither of us gets hateful and abusive, a little disagreement never hurt anyone. I'm also not afraid to admit when I've been wrong and have been known to change my opinions on some things. On others, well, sorry, but I'm stubborn. Sometimes, I just won't change how I think and feel about certain subjects. I'm sure you're the same way.

Come back and visit when you get a chance. Hopefully something that gets posted here will make you think, or cry, or laugh. Even if I make you angry, I will have achieved my purpose; human interaction even in cyberspace. I can't invite everyone in to my living room for coffee (you won't all fit), but I can invite everyone here for virtual coffee and a chat. Pour a cup, or tea if that's your cuppa, and dive in.

Welcome.
