My blog talk went pretty well last night. I hope I gave everyone enough information to get them started. I know there were concerns over safety brought up during the question and answer portion of my talk. I’d like to address this concern.
Anytime you put yourself out there into the public there’s a chance you will attract the wrong kind of attention. It can’t be helped. I try to do things to keep my privacy relatively intact like having an unlisted phone number, not being specific about where I live, not using the last names of friends and family, etc. The point is to be smart about what you share. No matter what precautions you take, the reality is if someone wants to find you, they can. The upside of this is chances are they won’t want to. Be safe.

If you’re ever in my parts of the woods please read Charley’s Kiss.

by Jordan March 9th, 2005 at 3:58 pmPirate, Thanks for stopping by and bestowing such kind words. As for Charley’s Kiss, is it a story?
by Jordan March 9th, 2005 at 4:00 pmhey! I was at the “blog talk” and it indeed did go over very well. You’ve got a wonderful sense of humor. I like the idea of blogs for authors at all levels…it’s just a good place to “sort” out what’s happening (or not happening- as the case may be). I didn’t realize that so many published authors are offering information and topics on their blogs- that was news to me. Most blogs I have read have been sort of stream-of-consciousness things. It’s nice to know there’s a little cyber-support out there.
by jill March 9th, 2005 at 11:40 pmThanks, Jill! I’m glad you enjoyed the talk. You never can tell how it’s going over, especially after everyone has eaten and they start to fade from the carbs. LOL!
by Jordan March 10th, 2005 at 9:48 amPirate, I found your story. I didn’t see the vampire thing coming until the character started in with the small bites. It was a nice surprise. You can lose the ‘left’ and ‘right’ things in the second to the last or last paragraph. They aren’t necessary. You’re off to a good start.:-) Keep at it. I tried to leave a comment, but for some reason it wouldn’t allow me to.
