More of an Intro

I have always loved to write letters. The computer enabled me to send the same letter to more than one person, and in 1997, I formalized the group nature of my letters with the salutation "Faithful Readers." I'd lost the personal nature of my correspondence, but found a way to share with more people. And it's a pleasure when others enjoy what comes of it.

If you'd like more of an "about the author" thing, here that is, too. For comments, visit "When Readers Write." I do welcome your comments at ggghostie@earthlink.net. Thank you for visiting.

"A lie is the worst thing in the world. Art is the ability to tell the truth, especially about oneself." -- Richard Pryor

"As the U.S. Supreme Court held in New York Times Co., Inc. v. Tasini, displaying a work in cyberspace is a publication for purposes of copyright law. Thus, the simplest method by which unpublished works can be protected for the extended period is to have those works displayed on the Web." -- Leonard D. DuBoff in "Publish or Perish," Communication Arts, September 2002
