Social media question

   I have a question for anyone that would like to share their opinion.  If you've read my blog you've probably noticed the Facebook and Google+ gadgets on the left side of the screen.  Facebook is somewhat useful, I feel Google+ is a waste of time but I keep it updated anyways.  I've considered opening up a twitter account in the hopes of getting more traffic for Book Gala.  My question is, does anyone actually use twitter?  I know lots of celebrities, politicians, etc use it but I would like the opinion of a normal person.  So yay or nay?  Useful or a waste of time?

Angel of Death by Adrian Ferrer Review

   Angel of Death takes place in Rome and revolves around a series of crimes that have a religious connotation. It was originally written in a different language, so there are a few grammar issues, but not enough to detract from the book. The book has a strong religious background; fans of Dan Brown's books will probably enjoy this one. I'm not overly religious, so someone that is will probably get a little more out of it than I did. I still enjoyed it immensely; for some reason, the book had a strong eighties movie feel to me. Perhaps I've been watching Stranger Things too much lately. But anyways, the hypothesis that the author presents in Angel of Death is certainly an interesting one, and the author has done a ton of research to back it up. The plot is well written; it doesn't move terribly fast but it's not slow either. To me it adds to the atmosphere and authenticity of the book; most police cases are solved in weeks, not days. For an indie book, this is one o...

   I went last year to Megacon; it was fun but I had no plans to go again.  But my sister found out Richard Dean Anderson would be there, so off we went.  We grew up watching Macgyver (we loved   Macgyver) and Stargate, so it was pretty cool to get to meet him in person.  Would I do it again?  Eh probably not, personally I think celebrities are worshipped a little too much in America. He did seem like a down to earth person though; unfortunately I couldn't say the same for most of the people waiting in line to meet him. One guy was dressed in the standard uniform from Stargate; alas he was behind me in line so I missed that interaction. Honestly I felt a little (ok a lot) odd standing in line just so I could get someone's signature. Had it been any other actor, I would've bowed out of that experience quite happily. (I can't stress enough how much we loved Macgyver.)  I did take a few photos, not as many as last year, but I thought I'd post them in...

Sorry for the delay in writing a new post, I've been a little busy the past two months! I did, however, want to share an awesome series with you guys that I've been reading. The first book is The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski.  Originally written in Polish, the books are set in an alternate reality; the world and characters are richly drawn, and his prose is simply amazing. The story focuses on a Witcher named Geralt, who is to put it simply a monster hunter. Although that is not entirely accurate, as he follows his own code and doesn't blindly swing a sword at every monster he sees. The books have a heavy emphasis on morality and shades of grey. There is no cut and dried right and wrong, and Geralt is not perfect; he makes mistakes like the rest of humanity. There are six books in the series, with a new book, Season Of Storms, coming out next year, which is actually a prequel. As it stands now Sapkowski has stated that no new books will be written in the Witcher series. ...
