Cover Art Sneak Peak
My book cover is out in a sneak peak at Facebook!
:sigh: The author is always the last to know. LOL!
Thanks to Tia Nevitt for emailing me the link.
I'm always so antsy about cover art. I think it's because I'm too close to the subject to be objective. But go over and see what you think.
I really need to join Facebook, don't I? You guys are going to drag me into the dark side, I just know it.
You're so evil.
But what if I sign up and nobody friends me? What if I sign up and the wrong people friend me?
Oh, great. Now I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Right now, I'm active on Goodreads, this blog, Absolute Write Water Cooler, Twitter, and a couple of gardening forums. I'm on MySpace but I never go there anymore. I also eavesdrop on OWW and Broad Universe.
And let's not forget those 500+ blogs I scan daily. Some of them I visit regularly.
It's a full social calendar. I try to stay active with the writing/reading blogs, but the rest, a mixture of gardening, financial, and coupon-posting blogs, I read only if something grabs my interest.
This week has been unbelievably crazy which is why I haven't been visiting as many of you as I normally do. But it's the good kind of crazy, when you know it's all going to be worth it at the end.
So tell me... How many social networks do you belong to? Do you ever feel you need to cut something out?
What one social network would you never give up?

Greg's shop is almost finished. It is HUGE! Poor Greg hasn't even seen it yet. I've been taking pictures as it's been going up. I'll post some photos next week. It was a pretty awesome event.

Here, I'll throw you a line *tosses rope* and I'll pull you in ever so gently. Come on Maria, the water is just fine. Dip your big toe in...see I wasn't lying *tugs on rope*
All kidding aside, you really should set up an author page. You can even link through Twitter though I don't know the process. If you don't use Twitter to do it, you can link your blog posts directly. You would hardly have to be there at all if you don't want to. As for friending, same things apply to any social network...check 'em out first.
Saw the cover...loved it! Can't wait to read it.

Now maybe that's doable. Thanks!
Ted: I don't think you have to belong to Facebook to view pages.
I was just looking at some of the author pages on FB...most of them update via Twitter. So you'd be right at home.
BTW, awesome cover :-)
I have a personal page on FB, which my sons talked me into setting up, and a writer's page, which I set up the same time as my blog (with the same tiny following). But I'm still a Twitter hold out. Just don't feel the need to Tweet.
MySpace just seems dead. The only thing I liked about it is that you could customize your page.
I'll probably follow Sherri's suggestion and just do an author page. --if I can find the instructions on how to do that.
Was it easy to set up?
Ref: Twitter
I like Twitter, but I don't have a lot of time for it. I like to visit it first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, which means sometimes I miss stuff. Dems da breaks.
And... if you join FB, I'll be your friend! :)
Come on and play at facebook - it's fun and relatively quick and I have my business fan page post automatically to twitter which makes life simpler. It's where I end up posting the most now. I'll like you, I promise!
Mind, Facebook in particular I find quite gossipy but perhaps a really useful networking tool
You're both evil, you know that, right? LOL.
I like the idea of the author page, especially if I can build one without creating a profile.

Yup, and I have the dirty fingernails to prove it. :)
Hey, networking is work. It's not my fault that I happen to enjoy it. How do you think I find out so much?
I do a little FB, blog, and twitter. Somewhere out there (I assume) is a Myspace that I haven't visited in ages.
Twitter is fun; sort of like eavesdropping. ;)
We had work issues with FB so I can only use that in a very limited way.
Thanks for visiting the site!
Could totally live w/o Twitter as I hardly ever Tweet, but am a wee bit reluctant to give up rights to my handle. I can't give up Facebook now for two very important reasons: 1. It's the only way to keep up/stay in touch with various family members (none of them use the damn phone anymore) and 2. I've recently become addicted the game, Café Life & need it to live. :)
I also couldn't give up Goodreads and would have a hard time leaving Blogger/LJ behind.
I'm really fond of Goodreads. It's very easy to navigate too.

Now that's scary. I barely have enough time now.
I would gladly give up the MySpace page as do not visit it anymore either....
I have Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, BookBlogs, Bitten By Books, Tumblr, WordPress, My own Blogger Blog that I use daily, Windows Live and some others that are social sites and do not visit all of them daily they are networked to my blogger site and really the only ones use a lot are my Twitter and Goodreads to connect with people daily! And of course my blogger blog!
I hope the new book does well when it releases!

Oh and it is now on my Facebook wall today as a comment and heads up for others to see !

Jackie, you are so sweet! I could just hug you.
I use Goodreads to list the books I'm reading.
I love the cover of your new release.
