Still Riding the Dog

Riding the Dog has been on Goodreads for over a year and this is my first attempt at a blog. Why? Probably because I am what one friend calls a "reluctant exhibitionist." Introverts make lousy self-promoters, have you noticed? I guess you wouldn't, since we introverts prefer to be invisible.
