My website designer Willa has helped me create a web log (blog) on TerriFarley.com. Now, I can visit with you more often online. Those of you who've emailed me know I've responded slowly lately. There's a good reason for this -- as PHANTOM STALLION and SEVEN TEARS INTO THE SEA grow more popular, I hear from more readers. I receive 100-200 emails each day.

Here are answers to questions I've already had about my blog.

Does this mean you'll stop reading our letters?

NO! I love hearing from readers and will keep reading as long as you write to me, but I'm actually falling behind on writing books because I'm writing email. Everyone agrees that's a bad idea!

What will be on your weblog?

I'll respond to reader letters and emails, tell you what Nevada looks like from my office window, announce book news, maybe share some research notes for past and future books and I won't stay away from controversial topics, especially if they impact the West's wild horses.

Does your blog have a name?

Yes. It's Wabi Sabi West. You'll have to read the first entry to find out why!

How often will a new entry appear?

I'll stay in touch at least weekly and sometimes daily.

Who will write your web log?

Me. Only me. Just as I've never allowed anyone else to answer your letters to me, I won't let anyone impersonate me in my blog.

When does it begin?
