Why You Should Subscribe To My Mailing List

Because it’s amazeballs.

Obviously.

What my mailing list isn’t is a lot of spammy BS about how you need to buy my book because it’s un-putdownable and the best thing ever.  It isn’t links written by other people, to things you don’t care about and it isn’t reminders to read my blog.  I’m kind of hoping that, if you’re interested enough in my writing to consider signing up for my mailing list in the first place that you’re also maybe considering buying one of my books, so I really don’t feel like I need to insult your intelligence by telling you that they’re there.  Just waiting, on Amazon, the proverbial fruit that’s “resting on the vine” and “calling from the trees.”  And the same goes for my blog; that’s what RSS feeds are for.

No, what you get on my mailing list is the following:

No more than two emails per month.
Exclusive content that’s actually interesting: teaser chapters from upcoming books, elsewhere unpublished short stories, and other things to entertain you on your lunch break.  That are, you know, actually entertaining.  I believe that a good mailing list should read like any good publication and that means, first and foremost, that it actually be readable and not some self-serving drivel.  I may include some information about release dates, but as I don’t release a new book very often that shouldn’t be too bad.
Writing tips (above and beyond those found in my book on how to write).

So you should totally sign up.  There’s a widget.  And I, in turn, will continue to work on making my mailing list amazing.
