Some updated of graphics, and a new &#8216;landing page&#8217; to quickly capture newsletter signups. When you sign up for the newsletter, you get a free copy of the <em>Pre-Blink<\/em> prequel story of the <em>Light Blink<\/em> series.

You&#8217;ll find information about all that on it&#8217;s own web site http:\/\/bit.ly\/2QaJFs2 .<\/p>\n<p>Then some updates to the FaceBook pages for the <em>Light Blink<\/em> book, and the author page. And some new graphics. And some final tweaks to the author site at http:\/\/bit.ly\/2QcnEcf .<\/p>\n<p>And, for fans of the <em>Light Blink<\/em> series, I am doing some work on Book Three. Still in the first draft mode, and not quite sure of the ending (and most of the middle). But, progress is being made &#8211; which you can see on the <em>Light Blink<\/em> web site.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully all of this marketing effort will pay off. At least enough income to pay for this place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last couple of days, I&#8217;ve spent quite a bit of time on the marketing side of book writing.
