One of the bigger challenges I've faced as a new author has been staying in touch with the many people who have been so good to me. Facebook and Twitter have been my primary places of "socializing" but I can only do so much there, and not everyone uses the same sites to connect.

I consider my friends and fans to be part of my advisory team--my confidants and co-conspirators on this fantastic journey, and I've finally found a way for my reader partners--those who've been so instrumental in my success to date--to have a more personal connection as part of my inner circle.

I will be sending out occasional emails and videos to this constantly-growing group where I talk about my joys and my struggles, and keep you up to date on my upcoming books, projects, events, and creations. Most of this I will not put on the social networks, as it's more personal and not really geared for these formats.

I'd hate for you to miss out. If at any time you don't like what I'm sending (email will come to you anywhere from once every ten days to once or twice a week, just depending on what's happening at the time,) you can always unsubscribe. Will you join me on my journey?
