Writing is in my blood.  It is as essential to me as breathing.  Since I was a young child, I have written.  My early memories involve snuggling up with my notebook and writing stories and poems.  When we were given a writing assignment in school, I could feel the excitement bubbling up while the other kids groaned.

I am not a first generation writer.  My grandfather was a sports editor and writer for a local newspaper.  My favorite picture of him shows him sitting in front of his old-fashioned typewriter with a cigar in his mouth and a glint in his eye.  My mother still has the typewriter.

The tools of the trade have changed a little since my grandfather wrote his articles on that typewriter, but some things remain the same.  Such as the joy that comes from breathing life into words on a page.  Taking the passion that others have for what they do and translating it into the written word.  Or,  slipping into a zone where hours pass in minutes. 

Maybe someday my grandchildren will have a favorite picture of me.  There will be no cigar, and there will be no typewriter.  Instead, it will be me with my computer.  And a glint in my eye. 

As Managing Editor for Paranormal Underground, as well as the Marketing and Promotions director (and head cheerleader!), I am really excited about what is coming in just a few weeks.

While I currently blog forParanormal Underground on their MySpace page, our new site is just a few weeks away.  One of the features will be a blog.  But that's just the beginning.

Along with the aforementioned blog, we will have space for user galleries of all types - EVP, ITC, photo, video and personal experiences.  We invite users to share their data with us and analyze the data of others. 

We'll still have the e-magazine in the familiar flip book format; but, for those of you who have requested HTML, that will be available, too.  We will also have a roomy new forum and, of course, chat.

We're growing at Paranormal Underground, and we hope you'll join us.  Look for great new features like live chats with leaders in the field, podcasts, interviews, recommended reading, issues with special focus, opportunities to participate in paranormal experiments and more. 

We want you there as we become the most dynamic and interactive paranormal resource on the web.  Skeptics, believers, those in between are all welcome.  There is a place in the discussion for everyone. We hope you'll all join us as we uncover  the mysteries of the universe.
