This is just a quick post to let you know that I have rearranged the site a bit and added a section at the top tabs – NOVELS. Here, you will find announcements and updates about these projects, as well as release date – as soon as it is available, and other information … Also, I will keep you posted via regular posts.
I added a FB link to the right of this blog, where you can link to my FB author page, if you would like to friend me. If you Tweet, you can friend me there as well.
In addition, you may notice that under Inkspeare, I added my author name. I opted out of a pen name for a single reason, and this is thanks to a comment that was made by Indi author Cliff Burns on one of my older posts –Writer’s Wisdom 17, Pen Names – he commented,
“I have a real aversion to pen names/pseudonyms. I’m aware that some very fine writers have employed them but I want my real name on everything I write (including postings on the internet, I never hide behind safe anonymity).
Any book or writing project I would resist putting my name on probably isn’t worth publishing. I take responsibility for what I release and when it’s bad, I’ll to take my fair share of blame…”
Until I read that comment, I had considered the possibility of writing under a pen name that might sound a bit more “sophisticated.” I have to say that Mr. Burns’ comment opened my eyes on this topic, and I thank him for this. Therefore, I am using my real name as my author name – Maria Antonia Diaz.
