Cheap Thrills

Now that Confessions of a Frog Kisser is roaming about in the universe, I have found a whole new set of things to do instead of working on my new book. This week's cheap thrill was seeing where my book landed on various search engines.

Do a search for Frog Kisser and see what happens. This morning, I'm number 1 on Dogpile. I'm only number 4 on Google.

Please buy more books so I can be number 1 everywhere! Or at least troll around the Internet searching for the book. Because, I'll tell you, it is really cool to see my book come up in the top slots.

I also finally visited www.susanrose.com this week to see who has that domain. That Susan Rose makes beautiful quilts.

My other major cheap thrill this week has been checking the MySpace account I started. MySpace is a free community building site where you can joing groups, e-mail people, and generally feel like you have a social life without leaving your house. I joined for the discussion forums. Several men in Egypt think I joined so I could marry them. Ugh. It's interesting, though. And a really great way to procrastinate.

Oddly, despite all the diversions, I have been working on the mystery. It's coming along nicely and I hope to start submitting it to agents in April.
