Over the weekend and a few short weeks before publication I started a Facebook Group for my new book Blacklisting Myself. I could be cute and say “I was just doing the trendy New Media thing,” but actually I am kind of intrigued by the process. It sets up an immediate response mechanism with readers that is rather impressive. As of this writing 244 people have joined as members. I don’t know whether that’s a good or bad number in the time allotted, but it’s enough for a dialogue and I assume (hope) it will grow as the book is published and reviews and advertising roll in. [It better or you're sunk.-ed. No, I'll just dismiss Facebook as a fad.] I would be flattered if any of you who are of a mind to read my book, join the group and engage. (It’s what they call an “open group” on FB.) I promise to post all reviews – even the bad ones – unless they are by…. [I told you not to publish his name. He'll link this.-ed. Okay, okay.]

I will check the local paper for the obituary (I live in Wilmington).
There is no doubt the book will be facinating, the question will be, will “Hollywood” be ready to accept the facts? “Reality” is a big game show on TV, but
when it comes to reading a non-fiction by one of their own, can they accept and praise the writer? Those of us that follow you on PJM and readers of all your Moses Wine Book’s are counting the day’s, I wish you only the best.
I’ve been doing the reading of you thing for a long time, and you really do the good writing thing too much to do the use of that grating construction thing.
