More Social Networking

[KD Easley]

My name is KD Easley, and my mystery novel, Where the Dreams End came out in August of 2009. My promotion efforts have been small thus far, mostly social networking sites and word of mouth. So, now I'll give Crimespace a try. I love being part of a social networking site where everyone here is a mystery fan. I kind of feel like I've arrived home.

So far, I like Crimespace. It's easy to use, friendly and I hope to meet some new mystery fans here, but do I really have time to maintain another social networking site? Time will tell. I love the ease of connecting with people that social networking offers, but they can be serious time eaters and anything that keeps me from writing is not necessarily a good thing. On the other hand, if people don't know about your books, your writing career is going to be pretty short. It's a bit of a catch 22. We'll see how it goes.

I'm rather friendless at the moment, so if anyone is looking for a mystery fan to hang out with, join me, or drop a comment on the blog. First five commenters get a prize.

Thanks guys. I don't know why I put off joining for so long. I'm glad I'm here.

This really is a terrific site. I am mostly a 'looker' and read almost all of the posts. If I feel I have something useful to contribute, I try, but I'm still in the process of getting my writing out there. There are a ton of talented and very knowledgeable people here, and I can't tell you how much I have learned and how many contacts I have made just from this site alone. Believe me, it's well worth your time. Joyce

Welcome, KD. I've been on Crimespace almost since the day it started -- two years ago? 18 months? -- and I bet I haven't sold 5 books because of it. I'm here to listen to other authors, hear what they think, how they cope with the publishing biz.

Sadly, I usually can't write four hours a day. :) I'll check out the forum, thanks.

Welcome, K.D. Why not participate on Forum? Chatting with people is relaxing. You can't write 8 hours a day.
