I have long been a writer, but have never blogged. It took me a couple years to get a Facebook account, and I still prefer email -- faster and fewer distractions. Now that I have "retired" I am publishing more of what I write, and would love to have people read my books or articles. Does that happen if you sit in a home office and keep the cat off the laptop keyboard (which kitty believes is her electric blanket)? Nope.
So, here I sit with not a clue about how to use a blog to my advantage and willing to learn. Did I mention I can't update my web site because the host site (Yahoo) no longer allows Microsoft Front Page? Learning new software for the web site and creating a blog? Yikes.
Learn about my writing, thoughts on writing, and how you can show the world your words. Understated humor is featured in the mystery series -- Jolie Gentil (at the Jersey shore), River's Edge (along the Des Moines River in Iowa), Family History Mysteries (in Western Maryland mountains) and Logland (small-town Illinois). Live life with friends - even if some of them can be a pain now and then. The name Irish Roots Author reflects my heritage, as expressed in my family history books.
Elaine Orr and I are legally bound with a partnership recognized by the state of Maryland. This was largely a tax shelter arrangement, and although we are long time companions we remain at odds on the topics of pet care and housekeeping.
