The Best Mailing List Ever

Or, as I like to think of it, the only mailing list in the world.

I have a mailing list.  I’m told that this is a good thing to have; that periodically spamming my followers will somehow increase book sales.  I don’t know.  But I do know that I have an awesome mailing list.  Here are some things about it that contribute to its awesomeness:

I only send something out maybe once or twice a month.  If that.  I hate spam.  And I can speak with some authority on the topic of spam, having eaten the real thing.  Because, you know, food pantries.  It’s actually not bad, cooked in the oven (or fried in a pan) with brown sugar.  Ah, the joys of American poverty…
There is exclusive content.  Which will mean, going forward, exclusive first chapters of The Black Prince (look for this sometime after Christmas).  And yeah, excerpts from other books too but I’m pretty sure no one cares about those as much.
Free things.  Or, at least, access to free things.  I’ll let you know about free promotions through Kindle and such.

Or you can just, you know, not get spammed and just read my books (or not) as they come out.

Also if you reply directly to your mailing list, it goes straight into my (real, actual) in box.  Which makes a much more convenient mode of delivery for hate mail.  Or questions.  Or whatever (I’d appreciate more whatever and less hate mail).  So there’s that.
