I am not what they call a technology native. Navigating the IPAD and social media sites is not intuitive for me. I literally just starting texting this year, so I was rather horrified when I realized that if I was going to self-promote my book, I was going to have to figure this all out and FAST.

So, with the help of my husband and my children who are technology natives, I created a Facebook page and a Twitter account and began trying to use my blog here on Goodreads. But truthfully, I just don't get it. I am a married school teacher with three kids and, frankly, my life isn't all that exciting. That is why I create fiction.

I have realized that the reason, I never jumped on the Facebook bandwagon before, is simply because I am not a public person.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hermit by any means. I enjoy meeting new people and talking to my friends, but I prefer hearing their voices on the phone or seeing them face-to-face with a good cup of coffee or a glass of wine.

I know many argue, that Facebook connects people who have distance separating them, but I wonder if it really brings people together or is it just a band aid for the world's lack of connection?

I'm open minded and exploring the social media world but I'm not sure I'm sold.
