Seems like everyone is blogging these days. When I redesigned my website, everybody said ‘you have to have a blog!’
‘Okay!’ I said.
Followed by, ‘what’s a blog?’
I mean I know what a blog is. Theoretically.
But I have to admit that I’m beginning to think that the world has gone a little blog crazy. I mean the other day, I saw an ad for some electronic device and there was a ballerina describing how she used the device to record photos and upload them to her blog from backstage ‘DURING A PERFORMANCE!’ I thought my head would explode. I mean, come on! Do we really need that much information?
Still, I can see the value of blogs. I mean essentially they are a method of communicating with an audience. As a writer I can respond to that. And so I see the value of communicating regularly with my readers through this space. But I’m not going to go crazy about it. I will try to update it regularly (most every Tuesday or thereabouts). I will let you in on the latest news about my books, where I might be appearing and the things about the world that interest me.
What things? You ask.
Well, I like books. Not just my own, but I read a lot and I like to talk about books I like. I like movies and a few television shows and I’ll talk about things I’ve watched that have moved, inspired or infuriated me. Heck, I might even let you in on how my fantasy football team is doing! (Not well!)
So I hope you’ll come back each week and spend a few minutes communicating with me. And I hope you’ll let me know about your views on blogs. Which ones do you read regularly? Are there any out there you think I should know about? What do you think I can do to make my blog stand out from all the rest and compel you to visit it each week? I can’t wait to hear what you think.
Hi, Mike. I really love your books and I can’t wait for your next Spy Goddess book, The Chase for the Chalice. It’s so cool that Rachel’s adventures are going to be a manga series now! If I come across any other blogs I think you should check out, I’ll let yah know!
OMG! I was looking up people with my last name and I found this site so I’m like cool. Then I see you like manga and KYAH! Tis so awsome to know! I can’t wait to read your books and your manga!!
I loved your Texas Rangers book!! The Spy Goddess books are action packed and awesome!! I listened to your radio interview today. It was fascinating hearing about the writing process. You are a very good speaker and author. Keep the books coming!
