According to the statistics gathered by GoDaddy, it has been ninety-seven days since my last post. All of the technology for marketing, including My Space, Facebook, Twitter, and You-Tube, overwhelmed me. Just thinking about mastering all these "necessary" avenues for reaching an audience, branding myself, and building a platform left me mentally frozen.

However, with October's activities fast approaching, I'm attempting to thaw out. On Saturday, October 10, I will be speaking to a local writing group about the pros and cons of self-publishing. The following weekend, October 16-18, I'll be attending the Kansas Authors Club convention in Topeka, Kansas. Finally, on October 24, Bonnie and I will be selling our books at the Chisholm Book Festival in Duncan, Oklahoma.

With so much happening and a new book--Like Mother, Like Daughter--to promote, I am taking baby steps toward social networking with a goal of one activity a day. Since my books are on amazon.com, I started there yesterday by signing up for an author page with Amazon's Author Central. Having the page will allow readers to follow a link from my book sales pages to my author information. It will be about a week until the author page is available. I'll post a link here as soon as the page is live. 

Getting back into blogging is my baby step for today. I'll let you know what tomorrow brings.
