Commencement.

"Ink is handicapped, in a way, because you can blow up a man with gunpowder in half a second, while it may take twenty years to blow him up with a book. But the gunpowder destroys itself along with its victim, while a book can keep on exploding for centuries." -Christopher Morley

I am on the threshold of beginning my very first book, a teaching novel (we hope), at the supportive behest of my friend/agent, and my mother, and the precious handful of other beloveds who believe.

This blog is the eye of the little storm I am about to generate. Not to blow up...only to blow away. So please keep checking in...and feel free to comment, if so inspired. The book is about connections...so, connect!
