Friend Me

So we’re on the cusp of the first significant update to my site since its inception last October. I’ve updated the blog, of course, but the other pages are static, and much less likely to get TLC here in the early part of my career when it’s pretty much only friends and family looking at the site.

But next week is London Book Fair, one of, if not the biggest literary conventions in the world. My UK publisher will supposedly be handing out ARCs of my novel (if they printed in time) to a variety of people like reviewers and booksellers. Since that’s the case, and since I finally have a US title for the book, I figured it was time to update the cobwebby pages with more current news, art, links, and photos. Sometime in the next few days you should see updated material on every page except the Succor page.

While I was at it, I made some slight updates to my MySpace page, and I’m planning to set up Facebook one of these days, too. If you have a MySpace account, do me a favor and friend me. I’ll look like a total chump if some fan (should I ever get one) looks me up and my only friend is “Tom”.

Hopefully, this is just the beginning. As we get closer to the pub dates and more material becomes available, I will try to update with more regularity. Maybe I’ll give away some ARCs or something, too.

Okay, enough stalling. Back to work.

Later.

  1. I’m already your friend on myspace. It is nice to see it up dated. It looks way more “Hey I’m a kick ass author!” now. 😛
    Don’t worry, soon enough your fandom will be overwhelming.

    Site updates! Whoot whoot! I look forward to seeing them.

  7. OK, everytime I’ve gone onto myspace you’re online. If it keeps happening, I am prepared to launch an intervention.

  8. This is why I’ve avoided these social network sites for so long. The OCD kicks in and then I turn into a mindless drone, counting page views and friends instead of going out and living life.

  9. . . . or writing.

    Wait. Did you actually just say “Cowboy Up?”

    Hoorah! Can’t wait to see the crew cut. Here’s hoping we both get assigned to the same unit.

  11. I say “bollocks” a lot, too. Doesn’t make me British.
