Have Book, Must Blog

Have book…must blog…
It’s my new mantra, running through my head since last July’s marketing meeting with the fine folks at Zondervan, my publisher. I left the meeting (my “brain full” light had long since come on) and got on the plane in a daze. The flight attendant offered a beverage. I waved it away. “Have book, must blog…” I mumbled as I fell asleep. I dreamed of Paladin. “Have Gun, Will Travel” was his motto. (Imagine the trouble HE’d have getting on a plane these days.)

Paladin didn’t let anything get in the way of his mission–ever. So when I got home, I called my techno-wiz son, Alex (aka Catbox Boy) and told him, “Have book…must blog…” Thanks to Alex, my website is entering the new millennium. More tweaks, graphics and features will be coming soon, including a Community Fan Site, the Store, contests, book giveaways and more.

And I can say, at long last, “My name is Mary Pierce, and I’m a blogger.”

And that’s how I’ll introduce myself at the Overbloggers Anonymous meeting one day.

And duh… the new book from Zondervan, WHEN DID MY LIFE BECOME A GAME OF TWISTER? (click here to read a sample) is coming to a bookstore near you (or near your keyboard) on November 5, 2007. Must remember to mention book in blog…must remember… must remember…
