I’ve let myself go – neglected my platform. Yes, I’ve been busy, but that’s not an excuse. It needs sprucing, pruning, polishing, and I’m taking time out right now get it all bright and shiny again.First up – my authors lists. I apologize in advance to those of you who follow them, but ‘authors-books, stories‘ […]
As usual on Friday morning, I checked my Twitter feed to read interesting news and to see my blog post tweet roll through. It didn’t. What the heck? Didn’t I schedule the tweets? Nope, I surely didn’t. Even worse as you can see, I didn’t post. The post was ready, but I exhausted myself trying […]

I’ve been fully involved in social media since last April, when I published my first novel, Sunrise on the Pier. Most of my time is spent conversing on Twitter. Love it, love it, LOVE IT! Endless […]
My original title for this essay was ‘Ruminations From the Parent of a TechnoKid’. Awful title – glad I changed it. The ‘TechnoKid’, or L, is my preteen. She’s been asking for Facebook and Twitter since before she was ‘double dij’. That’s right – double digits. She spent the whole day dancing happily because […]
I admit it – the title smacks of bait and switch. But there has been a facelift – for my Facebook page, not for me. I started the page in April, just as I published Sunrise on the Pier to Smashwords.com. It’s basically just my Twitter and blog feeds. It was hard to get the […]
