Hello out there!

Hello out there! This is something I never thought I’d do. Blog. I’m a novelist, I whined to my publisher. I wouldn’t know how to blog. It’s soooo not my style. And I can hardly keep up with daily emails. I don’t have time to blog, I howled. This autumn is going to be clogged with readings, book club appearances, touring the Atlantic. I want to steal some time to resume keeping a journal, which I’ve always done except for when composing a new novel. That’s what serious writers do. They don’t blog! I growled.

Then I saw the movie Julia and Julie and I read the front page headlines of the Globe and Mail. That famous serious writer, definitely a lead wolf, Margaret Atwood, is flogging, blogging, twittering, ‘long pen-ing’…the works!  I’d better get in line.

I am meeting within the hour with my publisher Blue Butterfly Books Pres. Patrick Boyer and Author Relations person Jodi Franklin and I am to bring with me my first blog.

This is it, folks. And the next will be better. No more whining. There’ll be info. The cringing wolf is left behind. Heffron is learning to blog!
