I Make a Book

Yep. I’m gonna write a blog. I may be late to the party — Hey, where did everyone go? — but for the next year I’ll be posting periodic updates to this page, with new content arriving once a month or more. Or less. My subject is my book, Just Maria: how I came to write it, how I got it published, and why I ever thought it was a good idea to begin with.
