I'm getting ready to update my FAQ page on my website and thought I would toss it out to y'all to see if you had any questions you wanted answered!  About me, my books, writing -- anything!

Thanks!

I blogged about the first day in my DTW tour over here (sorry not to paste whole blog here... am trying to consolidate blogs :)
