As authors, we are constantly looking for ways to remind readers we have a new book out. When I saw that another author had text message reminders, I wondered if people would want them or be annoyed by them. I asked on Facebook and was pleasantly shocked to get about 100 people who said they’d love a one time text reminder when I have a book release. Since I could have any from 2-4 books a year, that would be the maximum amount of texts you’d receive if you signed up. So I’m offering the opportunity for you to be reminded via .TxT!

THIS past Fri night I went to a NEIL DIAMOND concert at Jones Beach. What a BLAST. The weather was amazing, my friends and I had fun, and Neil’s voice is as golden as ever! See for yourself!
So are you a NEIL fan like I am? And out of curiosity, did you/will you sign up for my TXT reminders?
I’m a long time fan. Yes, I will sign up for text messages. I belong to fictfact to track my series so I regularly check their upcoming books calendar. It’s great for my series but if it’s a single I would have to go through the whole month of releases and that’s a lot of books.
Yep…huge Neil fan. Growing up my mom blasted the album, (yes, that long ago) Hot August Night on Saturday mornings while we did our cleaning chores! I have seen him 4 times in concert!
And I have already signed up for the text alerts. ;)
Yes, I signed up for text reminders. I like that I’ll only get one text (not a gajillon).
I love Neil…saw him a long time ago and he rocks! You are going to laugh, but it’s nice to see a guy his age, still rocking, but not pretending he’s 25.
Just signed up for texting. Loved Neil Diamond! Sounds like a wonderful concert!!! But then, for me at least, being with good friends makes any time a good time!
Jones Beach is a great place for a concert, especially if the weather is good! Neil had a lot of great albums! I’m not signing up for text. I have the email reminders, Facebook, plus I usually pre-order. Thanks anyway!
I am going to sign up for the texts, and I am reading Karma right now. I’m new to your writing, but plan on reading all your books as fast as I can. Always looking for authors I enjoy, and I’m so glad I found you!
Hey, hey, we're the Plotmonkeys. We're friends, plotting partners, friends, mothers, friends ... well you get the gist. Welcome to our blogging site where you'll find our views on anything and everything depending on which one of us is blogging and what kind of mood we're in.
We can't tell you whether we'll be talking about our families, our writing, how much weight we gained after eating that entire container of Ben and Jerry's or how ticked we are about people who have twelve items in the ten items or less checkout lane. So hope you'll come back every day to see what's happening in the jungle including giveaways!

Signed up for it! So much better than me trying to remember release dates.
I love Neil Diamond. A couple years ago, I got a tix for mother’s day from hubby to see him. Front row. By myself. Which is ok. I had a blast!!
I think I signed up for it. Never got a confirmation text saying it happened, so not sure.
I love Neil Diamond! I’ve never seen him in concert, but he is on my list of people to see.
I love Neil Diamond too. And you were in my neighborhood – About 40 mins or so away. I used to go to JB all the time as a kid.
I am a fan! What a great concert you saw.
No texting for me….
I just signed up!! This is a great Idea!!!
Neil Diamond is a classic. Of course, I’m a fan. Not sure if I’ll sign up for the texting. I will look into it though. If no fee, then yes.
Yes, I signed up for text reminders!!
Of course I love Neil Diamond! I am jealous!!
Have a great day!

Since I have to pay for texts received I won’t be signing up.
But it is a good idea for people too busy to check your website.
