Ken,
The talkspot site is great. I set up a site there, but haven’t had a chance to muck around too much yet. I like the fact that it takes no programming knowledge. I think that’s really missing on the Net lately, since it was founded on the idea of free sharing of information and Tim Berners Lee’s initial idea for the WWW that everyone should be able to design a web page. The Internet has gotten a lot trickier since, but talkspot looks like a good place for reinforcing that original idea.
I’m working on putting together a links list for gamequestnovel.com that will link readers to all sorts of sites related to the themes/settings/events in Game Quest. I’m going to put in a link for sierragamers. If you’d like, I could provide a link to talkspot – and also mention your book. Let me know. I had a quick read through the sample chapters and it looks great. Made me laugh. I’m moving across the country in a week or so, but I think I’ll order it when I get more settled.
The page a day via email idea is great. I’m all set up for once a week at this point, so I think I’ll stick to that for now, but I’ll definitely keep that in mind for the future. I’ve got a mail list, but it takes time to build that up…particularly with people so wary of spam…
Thanks so much for the advice! It was a real pleasure to hear from you.
Leopold
