Bet you think I’m here as a writer.  Well, you’re part right.  I’m also here as a businesswoman, because that’s what being a successful writer demands.  It isn’t enough to write a good book these days; it also takes running a website, being on Facebook, even Twittering (as BarbaraDelinsky).  Oh, and blogging.  Can’t forget that.  I blog on my own website, and now, here, as a guest.
