Greetings and introductory post

[pbray]

Hi, I'm Patricia Bray and welcome to my livejournal. In here you'll find my musings on the writing life and whatever else strikes my fancy. You can use this post to introduce yourself, or if you find a topic that interests you, please feel free to chime in. I'd be interested in hearing how you found this livejournal, and what you like about it. You can find out more about me by checking the "user info" option on the left or visiting my website at www.patriciabray.com.

LJ-Friending policy: Anyone is welcome to friend me, but please don't be upset if I don't friend you back. I have a limited amount of time to spend reading my friends list, so I keep the list small to avoid having to keep skipping over large numbers of entries.

I don't think I'm a relation. My father's family came over from Cork, Ireland and settled in Connecticut in the late 1800s. Years ago I did some digging and found out that Bray is one of those names that crosses countries and ethnicities. I've run into English Brays, French Brays, as well as other Irish Brays who were from completely different parts of Ireland.

There's a Libba Bray here in the States who is a very successful author writing for young adults--also no relation, but simply another sign that the name Bray stands for "talented author" :-)

Adele, glad to have you here! I don't mind at all. Though I'm a bit slow to add friends back since my LJ time is fairly limited and I always feel bad when I'm hitting "skip 20/skip40/skip 400" when trying to keep up with everyone on my friends list.

Thanks! I'd have to agree. I wrote "The Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook," published by McGraw-Hill.
