WRDF launched in February of 2008 and its membership has grown steadily. I hope that means we are doing something right for our members.

We have some fabulously talented writers among us. I would encourage you to take a little time to visit a couple new pages each week. The photos, videos, blurbs, excerpts, bios, blogs, graphics, and I could go on and on, are super fun and so interesting. No one has an excuse to be bored on this site with so much to read and see.

I hope you’ve kept up with WRDF’S newest features. All are great promotional opportunities for writers and great fun for our readers.

The Bookmark giveaway page (BOOKMARK TAB)
The Free reads page (FREE READS TAB).
Bingo Mania (Main Page)
Editor Chats (WRDF Calendar)
Trendsetter Blogs (Advertising page – sub-menu of Main/Map Tab)

Our book discussion club, LOST IN A GOOD BOOK, is going strong. We’ve had good participation and if you haven’t kept up with some of our adventurous discussion comments, you’ve missed the action.

We’ve also launched a new online newsletter, WRDF Online. Be sure to open and read your copy when it comes. You never know what you might be missing.

Lastly, you’ll notice a new WRDFCalendar Tab on your page. What a nice way to keep all our members notified of current and up-coming events. You’ll notice that Fridays are Guest blog days at Between the Lines. Why not take a moment, check the calendar, and reserve a couple of spots for yourself during 2009. You can request your dates at: promo@lyndacoker.com

Thank you for spending time with us. Stay safe and well,
Lynda

At 5:34am on September 17, 2008, Author Ernie Johnson said…: Good morning; and welcome to WRDF. If you're interested, I have, on my website, the AUTHOR WEBSITE LINK EXCHANGE where, to make it simple, I put a link to your website on mine and you put a link to mine on yours.

The theory behind this is simple: Not everyone who goes to my site will want my book, and the same scenario goes to all author's websites, but they do generally browse. They do sometimes see links to other authors and out of reader's curiosity, they click the link.

On my website I post the author's link, their picture (if available) and up to two book covers. Not every author is that elaborate. Some post the book cover and a short blurb. Others just a link.

Come and join us in our quest to see more sales. You can check out my website at http://www.ernierjohnson.net

I don't want to spill the beans so I'm being vague on purpose. Email me privately and let me know. I can't wait.

Welcome aboard! I'm so glad you had the time to join. I know your health hasn't been the best, but seeing you here gives me hope.

These are a great bunch of people. Pick their brains, share your books--which by the way, for anyone reading this, are AMAZING--and look around here. Good people, lots of information.

I'll talk with you soon.

Terri
