Hi. I'm the author of a SF/technothriller called WIRED. I have a sequel due out in April, and numerous people have written to me over the months, telling me they enjoyed WIRED and were looking forward to the sequel. I suspect there are others out there who enjoyed the book who would want to know about the sequel as well (believe it or not, about 200,000 people have read it so far). About 655 pe... read more »

Hi, this really isn't a review, it's just me alerting anyone who is following me that I have a new book out (there is probably a better way to do this, but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this stuff).

Douglas Richards Hi. I am a pathetically poor user of Goodreads, and I have no idea what I'm doing. The sequel to my book, WIRED, is now out, and I'm trying hard to find ways to alert WIRED readers that it is available. Since it became a NY Times & USA Today bestseller, I've been inundated with people writing me asking about a sequel, and I told everyone I would let them know, but I'm a poor organizer and I didn't keep track of who contacted me as well as I thought I had. Anyway, if anyone out there ever sees this, and you know someone who has read WIRED, please let them know. Thanks! All the best, Doug.

P.S. and if my attempts to alert readers are working better than I think, and you've already seen something about this through another channel, sorry to be such a pest.
