cross-posted from "announcements" because i'm just crazy like that...

AuthorScoop is pleased to announce the arrival of a new contributor (and old friend), Rob McCreery. Rob is a gifted poet and essayist and has served the online writing community as a labor of love for some time now as Poetry Moderator and Supermod over at the Absolute Write Water Cooler.

As you can see from his initial offering (below), his keen insights make for wonderful reading.

It’s great to have you here, Rob.

Rob's excellent first piece:

Famous Old Things

Outstanding news. Congrats Rob.

Shameless shout out, anybody who isn't checking out Author Scoop regularly is missing out. It's one of the first things I do in the morning.

I'll second that recommendation. Awesome site, and Rob will be an excellent addition. :)

How can so many of my favorite people occupy one blog?

AuthorScoop is a fantastic site, William. I absolutely love it. Now I have one more reason to visit AuthorScoop every day (as if I needed more reasons).

Great first post, Rob.

AuthorScoop is a wonderful website. Adding our illustrious Poet (hatted or not) will futher enhance it. Heartfelt congratulations to Rob, for the gig, and to AuthorScoop, for getting him to agree to it.

Congrats, Rob! This is the first time I've been to author scoop (don't know how I missed it) but I have it bookmarked and won't miss it again!

Wow. Many thanks for the big wrap, William. And thank you all for the encouragement; this should be a lot of fun. That is, if I can manage to uphold the standard. I've held William and Jamie in ultra-high regard for a long time now, and the Author Scoop reader list is full of the same sort.

It occurs to me that AW both attracts and produces a whole lot of wonderful writers and personalities. I dig you all, deluxe.
