This morning, in church, I decided to change the subtitle of
my blog. It was a good sermon, but the pastor said something on which I had a
fairly strong opinion. Nothing unusual there. I have fairly strong opinion on
lots of things.

Whoah! Back up a second...
In my day job as a marketing consultant, I tell my clients to
stick to the theme of their blog when posting. They need to provide value to
their readers that is centered around their particular area of expertise. I
guess I should also tell them, "Do as I say, not as I do."
In my defense, I'm not building my reputation nor my living
on the books I write. I write them because they are my passion. I blog, not to
sell books, but to connect with people who like to think and exchange ideas.
Although the exchange is a little one-sided at this point, I have hope.
Therefore, I have changed the subtitle of my blog from
"Romance that celebrates the American heritage" to "Here's what
I think..." Yes, I will still blog about the novels I write. To date, they
are all set between the Spanish-American War and the early 1800s. That also
means I will continue to share my thoughts on American History, a topic for
which I have as much passion as I do for my writing.
But don't be surprised if my posts going forward take a
decidedly more personal turn. You'll have to let me know what you think.

P.S. If you're wondering what opinion I formulated this
morning in church, I'm afraid I can't remember. I guess I should have written it down.
