It's another tool that authors need to have in the old toolbox; anything that helps keep their names in front of the public has to help.<BR/><BR/>The more outgoing authors that enjoy "talking" with their readers should do well on the internet...Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-71895031930164459052008-05-20T19:49:00.000-05:002008-05-20T19:49:00.000-05:00Hey, Maggie, thanks for the "Finn" link.
