I have a theory about the impact of aka on book
My theory is, size doesn't matter. Unless you're a Kardashian, the parasocial pull towards a distant icon is not enough to get them to buy your branded product --- or memoir.

What matters is the depth and longevity of relationship. I've seen a very niche author make it to best seller status because 1) the book was perfectly positioned and 2) she'd built up cred in her corner of the internet over time. And those folks had her back when it came time to publish.

I want to see authors acting like old school bloggers, where you treat people on the internet as real friends and talk with them, and if you have 2,000 of those folks in your corner, that's real gold.

Online book talk tomorrow from University of :

In the fall of 1961, President Kennedy somberly warned Americans about deadly radioactive fallout clouds extending hundreds of miles from H‑bomb detonations, yet he approved ninety‑six US nuclear weapon tests for 1962. Since the attacks on & there have been over 2,000 nuclear tests; we envision the Cold War as a period in which nuclear weapons were not used when in fact statistically there was a nuclear detonation every 8.6 days between 1950-1989. Millions of people lived downwind from those nuclear tests, and tests raised radioactive fallout into the troposphere and stratosphere which eventuated in global distribution of radionuclides. Millions more lived near nuclear production sites, or accident sites like and . These are the “global .”

Before the loss of the previous social media site, I had had plans to market my books a lot this year. At least three books a month.

The calendar is sitting, unopened on my desk.

The lists I use haven't adjusted to the social media change yet. Waiting to see if they will. Or what the future has in store.

Not sure yet what I will plan, if anything.

I like still having them available on Amazon.

Hoping the doctor can find something to reduce the pain levels enough so that I can write again, and finish the last book.

Almost asked for Sophie’s World for Christmas but found the hardcover and paperback amongst my dad’s old books. Guess a spot for another book has just freed up.
What are you hoping to get for Christmas?
