Greetings!
Welcome to my mind for the first time. If you’re reading this, my thanks for subscribing to this site while it’s still in its infancy.
What is this blog going to be about? Well I write genre fiction so obviously there’s going to be a focus on that, but I’m going to avoid sharing every excruciating detail of my own career because I’m sure you have your own life to worry about. Instead I’m going to focus on some of the issues that are important in the field, share market information for places I think are cool, introduce you to some really cool writers, and forward some interesting posts.
That said, I welcome comments and I will do my best to respond to e-mail within a couple of days so feel free to drop me a line. You’ll notice the little RSS feed in the bottom right corner of the blog. Click on that and you’ll be redirected to a page that contains an “RSS Feed”. This allows you to get automatic updates on the blog through a FeedReader program like Google’s Blog Reader (the program I use). Give it a shot, I’m sure you’ll like it!
Until next time!

Hello friend.
Not everyone knows what an RSS feed is but you can make it easy for them to subscribe to your news feed by adding the option to subscribe to your newsletter. Instead of there feed reader getting an update every time you make a new post they will get a Email in there Inbox.
The easy way is to use a service likerssfwd.com and squeet.com but I suggest a ‘hard to set up but in the end better’ solution via feed burner.
1) Create a feed burner account
2) Add your feed to ‘my feeds’ section
3) Click on your newly created feed in feedburners my feeds page
4) From the menu at the top click Publicize
5) On the menu on the left click email subscription and enable email subscription.
6) Add the code snippet to your website.
Also if you do use the feedburner option (i highly suggest that you do) then you might want to install the feed burner wordpress plug-in too. from http://flagrantdisregard.com/feedburner/
If you have any other questions feel free to contact me.
Hey Jord,
I agree with the last comment, I don’t know what a RSS feed is, but I do know what ‘subscribe’ is.
I’d like to read your writing. Do you have any links to some of your stuff on-line?

Hi Chloe,
My main website is under construction right now, but eventually I will be posting some writing there. It’s difficult to do because almost all of my stories are under contract to various publications. I do have some trunk stories (stories that haven’t sold, and I don’t necessarily feel reflect my writing ability), that I’m considering putting online… but we’ll have to see.
