The necessary evil?

I created a Face Book account and deleted it within an hour of opening the page, then reopened it, trying to be brave. I have always been a private person, who doesn’t like putting too much out there for the world to see. After reading emails from other authors about advertising and book sales, it seems that FB is where they get the most coverage for their books. I have opened a twitter account, though I know nothing about tweeting, and I worry where this will all end. I love the ease of email submissions for manuscripts and editors contacting me directly through Gmail, but most have informed me that social media is a necessary evil. This Blog, Zarireede.com, Face Book and Twitter have given Minette Lauren a foot print in the cyber world. Go easy on me young whipper snappers…Rome was not built in a day.
