I always knew this day would come, and it has: it's gotten impossible for me to continue writing a book a year while personally responding to all my mail, blog comments, and FaceBook, MySpace, and Twitter messages. In many ways this is a positive development, of course, because it means the audience for my books has grown substantially. But it's sad, too, because I like to stay in touch with people who enjoy my books and blog, Heart of the Matter. So here's what I've decided to do...
I've created a forum that I hope will serve as a central location where we can all discuss the books, the blog, and anything else that comes to mind. My good friend, the multitalented Hank Shiffman, has agreed to help moderate. This way, rather than answering my email and messages one by one (which I can't do anymore), I can see everything all in one place. Also, the forum will enable fans to talk to each other, not just to me. Why don't you stop by now, register, and leave me a message? It would be great to hear from you there.
If you'd still like to send me an offline message, you can do so here. But please read the FAQ responses before asking a question; you might find it answered right here. And forgive me if I don't answer personally—it doesn't mean I don't appreciate the thought (I do), it just means I'm trying to get the next book done. I'll continue to try to read all my personal messages—except for business propositions and suggestions for what I should write about, which I immediately delete having read just enough to determine the nature of the message. Too many whackos looking for something to sue about, and I can only write my ideas anyway, not someone else's. Regardless, the forum is the best place to find me.
Another good way to stay in touch is to look me up on FaceBook, MySpace, and Twitter. And then there's my mailing list, which I send out about twice a year with updates on Rain, contests, sneak previews, and of course the tour schedule. The mailing list is private and your email address will never be shared or otherwise used for anything other than the occasional message from me. If you have a spam-blocker on your email account, you may need to put Barry_Eisler@mail.vresp.com into your contacts or on your approved list to receive updates.
Thanks for visiting my site and for enjoying the books!
