So I’m going to do a small online ‘Live Chat’ through Twitter using their TWUBS system, which I’ve done twice before. I’m thinking of running this a week from this Saturday from 8PM-11PM EST, which gives more people time to get involved. This is going to help me get a feel for the system again and see how people react to the idea. Part of me is considering doing a monthly TWUBS chat just for a fun, interactive event with readers/friends/etc. So, how does it work?
Well, I’ll post the link that will bring you to the chat area on the day of the event, which does require a Twitter account. You posit questions and I reply. It can be to me or one of my characters. We can chat too, but I will be trying to keep things mature and somewhat professional. For example, I’ll probably be ignoring questions about character’s favorite underwear style.
I have noted that the responses you make end up in your Twitter feed to help bring people into the conversation. I know I’m giving out odd warnings, but these are things that people felt should have been mentioned the first time I did this. For now, I’ll leave you with the hashtag that will be revived:
#windemerespeaks
Hope to see people there when the time comes.




Best of luck with the chat! I’d love to join you, but 8 pm is 4 am in Athens, so… 🙂
Also, an update; I have a cover reveal for Shannon Thompson, so I rescheduled your guest post for the 20th. The address remains the same – http://wp.me/p4h3m4-10D. I hope that’s not a problem.

I do have an event, but I will try to get there.

Thanks. The hard part is finding a time that works for people and doesn’t have me trying to do it with a kid bouncing around. 🙂

What is the easiest day for you? I’ve been considering trying doing 2 during the debut week for my next book.

Noted. Seems a good idea to do a weekday.

Hope the chat goes well. I’ll try to remember to participate. I’ve never done one before.

Thanks. At least I have a week to prepare for it. Glad I didn’t plan it for this Saturday since it sounds like I’m going to have a rough weekend.
