You may have noticed the “Sign-up form” that I have on every page and wondered what it was for and why you would want to give another website your email address.

That sign-up form is a way for you and me to stay in touch. It lets me know that you are really interested in what I have going on. That you want to be a part of what is going on in my life and my craft. That makes you special to me!

I want to reward those of you who want to be part of my inner-circle. But how can I do that? I am an active duty Dad (which means I don’t have a lot of disposable income) so I won’t be able to get everyone a new car if they sign up. So what can I give you?

First, you will get an occasional email from me. It will be a little more in depth on how my  family and I are doing and what I have planned for the business side of things. I may link to a couple of blog posts that relate, but most of it will be brand new and more personal.  I want it personal so you will feel free to email me back. YOU are my inner circle, talk to me! Let me know what you like and don’t like and what you are going through. When you reply to the newsletter, it comes to me. Not some ‘bot somewhere.

Second, you will be the first recipients of my book, Fifth Brother (working title, it could change) when it comes out. For free!

I don’t have all the detail worked out yet. In fact, the book isn’t finished yet! [Come on National Novel Writing Month!] But it will be at some point, and I want you there with me as I go through it all. And then I want you to read it. Not as a customer but as part of  the team that makes it a reality!

Now, for some other things to know about the newsletter. If you want to cancel, just click the unsubscribe link at the bottom and you will stop getting them. If you want to start up again, just come back and all is good. If you want to change email addresses that receive the Newsletter, just sign up with your new email address and then click on the unsubscribe link from a newsletter delivered from your old address. And if you have ANY questions or something isn’t working right, just email me! I will get right to work on it.

Oh, and have you checked out My Writings lately?
