Social Media, a publishing need!

In my last meeting with my agent, she told me I needed to up my social media game. Publishers are looking for a presence which translates to readers and devotees to an artist’s work. I have several platforms and used to be consistent with my blogging. I have let much of it go to other endeavors, but my intention now is to focus on bringing interest to my readers. I have hired a young, talented woman to guide and control my social media sites. she has revamped my Instagram, Facebook and website as well as creating a new business card. I am committed to being more consistent with my blogging. I would love to know what anyone would be interested in reading. I hope any content I create will be interesting and potentially inspire creativity in others.

I am currently working on a six book multiverse comic series based on my Gabriel Peters series with the very talented Zac Conley. In addition I am writing time-travel novels geared to the middle school and high school age readers. For the younger set, I am working with Laurie McAdam on a mix and match robot book.

I also have written four books, two picture and two board books with the titles Grammies Are My Jam! and Grampies Are The Bomb!

For adults I am finishing a trilogy. Cowritten with Ryan Wekenman. My first time ever collaborating with another author. Ryan is a compelling writer and fun to work with. We are bringing forth an original idea in trilogy about the life of Jesus, told through his maternal grandmother’s eyes.

So, I am very busy with these and other projects. My books tend to take on a life of their own. My time-travel trilogy is now planning a spin off for an emerging character who comes into my main character’s life and is also a time-traveler.

i am thinking of a weekly blog frequency. I would love to hear what you would be interested in reading about.
