I’m sorry I have to do this to you guys.  But it was kind of inevitable.  Like knowing I am going to be dancing no matter where I am if Flashlight by Parliament comes on.

What am I talking about?

If you have checked my Home page, you may have asked yourself where the Devil this new pop-up came from.  It was my doing.  And why?  Because some people won’t listen to me if I tell them my material is worth opting in for a book deal or some other purchase.  They want me to prove there is a pre-existing interest in my work.  And to do that, I have to build an EMAIL LIST.

I know, I’m as excited as you are.  But please, if you like what you see here or even if you hate it, but don’t mind putting your email on the list anyway (remember you can always register things from me as spam or block me), I really need the help.  Then I can spend more time generating new stuff on the blog and hopefully publish one or more books.

If you are still skeptical, let me try to assuage your fears in the following statements.

I will try not to use your email address for evil.
I will try not to use your email address to send prank mail.
I will try not to use your email address to create free sign-up identities on unsavory websites.
I will try not to use your email address as a contact for my student debt collectors.
I will try not to use your email address for voter fraud activities.
If I use your email address as an emergency backup contact to retrieve a password, then you are my dearest friend.  Good for you…Good for you.

P.S.  The pop up thing of course appears to be broken, but there was a built in icon for joining the email list (less conspicuous and in your face).  Just find the icon at the bottom right of the screen next to “follow” which will appear as soon as you jump to any page on my website.  I will use this for now and maybe the other one will be fixed someday.
