On MySpace

So, last week (while I was on my way to the Greater Rochester Teen Book Festival), I got a phone call. It seems MySpace wanted to feature my blog on the MySpace Books page.

Well, after a few days of figuring out what to write about and coordinating with the folks at MySpace, the blog is up and prominently displayed on the MySpace Books page!

Some of you may have mixed feelings about MySpace. My opinion is that it's like any other piece of technology -- it has the potential for good or for ill, depending on how it's used. I just can't see a downside to this sort of exposure.

I had a lot of fun writing the piece and I'm currently discussing the possibility of further entries with MySpace. We'll see how this goes.

Much as it isn't my thing, I recognize that this could have HUGE benefits for you, since the demographic there is perfect for what you do. Congrats! This could push you up a few notches, without a doubt.

It's been a pretty wild ride for the past couple of days -- lots of attention and comments on the MySpace blog. LOTS of friend requests. Pretty interesting to see it all develop!

Thought I would send a comment and tell you how great your book was. I just finished it 5 minutes ago. I really hope you're going to make a follow up to it, too good to end it there :( You are now my favorite writer and I hope your second book is as good as this one was.
Much love, peace.
