I have a new agent, and he's rather unhappy that I don't have my own website and blog and that I would rather live anonymously somewhat (no pics on jackets, no booksignings).<BR/><BR/>It may be the straw that breaks the new camel's back. I admire that you blog most days, but I'm not sure I have anything interesting to say most days, for starters, and how effective is a blog anyway? And, until I have a book cover, what is the point of a website? (I know his answers, I'm curious for yours.)<BR/><BR/>And, having been a successful writer for a period of years, did you notice a big change in profile and sales once you had a website and/or blog? Is it just a way to have a closer pulse on your fans?<BR/><BR/>My apologies if you have really answered these before and I've missed the entries. Really, I do have four kids under 10, and most days, I'm happy if everyone is fed and dressed and have to let little things like checking your blog go. I manage about three days out of the week, and regardless of having something I want to comment on, diapers and bottles and broken toys and hurt feelings prevent most of them making it here.<BR/><BR/>Now I find that I am incoming president for my local RWA, and I wonder when I will write!<BR/><BR/>LWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15451736.post-70608199582960757602007-10-08T02:03:00.000-04:002007-10-08T02:03:00.000-04:00I trying to think who it is.

I can think of several females ones like Minette Walters or Martina Cole. But this is probably me.<BR/>The biggest thiller/mystery writers seem to be Scottish at the moment -- Ian Rankin or Alexander McCall Smith. Ian just did his last Rebus novel (or is it his last?) Or maybe it is more a reflect of what my dh and son are reading as they tend towards the thillers. My dh is currently really enjoying Micheal Dibdin who recently died and who used Italy as a backdrop to his murder mysteries.Michelle Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400990189443593076noreply@blogger.com
