By Way of Introduction...

Good day to you all,
     My name is Duncan S. Jackson and I am a published writer under the name Duncan McTeague. I can say with all honesty that while reading literature is my love, writing is my passion. I have one novel, All the Pretty Girls, available through Amazon and Barnes & Nobel.com, and have had several poems printed in various publications. I have been a featured journalist on the editorial page of a local newspaper, and have several essays and analyses that have seen print as well.
     I am excited about beginning this new blog, and invite all who care to tag along to accompany me on this journey. Be forewarned: This is not going to be all puppy dogs and rainbows; I will address issues that more times than not prove to be controversial, be it political, theological, sociological, etc. My opinion is not meant to be the final word in anything (as my friend Dennis used to say, "I will defend to my death your right to be wrong"), and I gladly welcome any feedback any who reads this would offer. Please, be tactful and constructive. We are all adults here and should conduct ourselves as such. Namecalling, gratuitous use of profanity...these things are not welcome here.
     For those of you already familiar with my writings, please indulge me as I integrate older posts to this new site. I hope to bring two old for every one new until I am caught up. For those of you not familiar, I ask only that you give me the benefit of three posts before deciding if this for you or not as I am sure by then I will have made some kind of an impact on you. And now, without further ado...
