That’s what the bacteria or virus or whatever inside me has done. Spent last night unable to sleep, throat so swollen I can’t swallow. Hurts! Needless to say, if you haven’t realized, my Geekchats with Superstar Editor Jason Rennie – The Man Who Makes Amazon Bestsellers has been pushed back to next Friday on account […]

An author friend of mine wrote an interesting blog about social media and politics from the perspective of a European living in America, citing how bad it’s become.

There’s a LOT of posting going on now, messages, comments, fake amazon reviews, trying to troll me. I expected this backlash fully. What I did not expect… that these people don’t know how to troll effectively. There are some efforts going on that I don’t want to dissuade because I find it awesome, as it […]
