Greetings from Taos, New Mexico!
Hello to all! I just posted a book thread for TAOS SOUL in the Author Self-Promotion forum, so no more about that here, but I hope an excerpt from my official bio at http://www.farrfeed.com is acceptable. I've been writing for years, mainly online, and have no intention of stopping!

* * *

I was born in Bryan, Texas on the day Nagasaki was nuked. The oldest of five children in an Air Force family that moved over 40 times before I graduated from high school, I’ve lived in Texas, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., Virginia, Germany, Texas (again!), Maryland, and New Mexico. Things I’ll never forget include the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay, Yellowstone, Acadia, Big Bend, the Rocky Mountains, Taos Pueblo, and the fact that Jerry Garcia died on my birthday.

I’ve walked the streets of Abilene, Austin, Des Moines, Dubuque, New York, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Venice, Florence, Vienna, Munich, Leipzig, Berlin, San Miguel de Allende, Chestertown, Baltimore, San Francisco, Santa Fe, and Taos; worked as a college teacher, laborer, groundskeeper, office manager, cartoonist, songwriter, musician, painter, sculptor, Internet editor, Web designer, and columnist. I’ve been to operas and hoe-downs; seen Dylan, the Sex Pistols, and the Clash; and once watched Captain Sensible do an encore in the nude. I’ve capsized in the river, gotten sunburned on the beach, wandered in the desert, hiked in the mountains, dug myself out of the snow, seen Halley’s Comet, and gone loco in the woods. I’ve built my own boat and worn out at least two dozen cars. I have an analyst in Zurich, a graphic designer in Brisbane, two degrees, and most of my own teeth. The only computers I’ll ever use are made by Apple, and I’ve been married for nearly 30 years.

* * *

That's about it. My wife and I live at 7,000 feet in Taos, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Ask me anything you like—it feels great to be aboard here!

Wow, look at all these replies!
And Neil Marr "expects much" of me here! :-)

In gratitude for the fine welcome, here's a shot of Lobo Peak near Taos. I took this two days ago (lots more of these at FotoFeed.com). I'm new here, although I've been blogging for years, so let's see what MobileRead.com does with a 750 x 499 px photo...

(Aha! I see we get a lightbox with the actual size image, linked from a thumbnail...)

Thanks. It's not over yet, either. Ate my dessert first, so there's a lot to be done!
