Avoiding Facebook

FRIDAY, 9 JANUARY 2009

So I have successfully avoided Facebook up until now. Why? I can give you the philosophical/social theory, but mostly it’s because I am OLD in cyber terms, and could never get my head around posting my photos and life on a virtual wall for people to see. Now you all think I’m 80. I’m not. I’m middle-aged though (I’m 39, and that’s sort of ‘middle’ aged, unless I plan to live to 150. And you never know). Anyway, here I am with a Facebook fan page. And happy to be here. I get a lot of emails every day now from people who have read my books or seen the movies (or at least the trailers!) and are inspired and excited and kind enough to take the time and tell me how they feel about them. So though I try to answer most emails personally, I realized it might not be a bad idea to have one place which I can update with news and new books/movies/videos. I hope you enjoy it. I will add more things whenever I can, and please let me know what kind of thing you’d like to see.
