Your Old E-Mail Pal CDE

I am, right now, about a third of the way through my next book. I am hoping to finish the first draft around Christmas. After that, I’ll need to get it edited and proofread. I would like to have it ready by March 2014 but I make no promises in that. (I am not telling anybody anything about the book except that it’s got a connection to the late, great George Jones, and let’s leave it at that.)

Here’s the thing. I will need to get the word out about that book when it’s published, whenever it’s ready. The easiest way for me to do that is to send out a mass e-mail to a bunch of people.

So I have a question. I don’t think that hardly anyone reads this blog, although I could be wrong about that, but I’d like to find out. If you read this blog, would you sign up for an e-mail list, if I PROMISED that I would ONLY send out e-mails if there was a new book?

I LOATHE the idea of asking people to sign up for an e-mail list, mostly because I am not the kind of person who signs up for e-mail lists. But if, you know, people actually WANT to sign up, who am I to say no? Let me know, in comments here or elsewhere.
