I confess, I’ve never really known what to do with twitter. As Christine Amsden, I mostly tweet my new blog posts, and hey, maybe that’s good enough. Most of what I have to say that’s important at all goes up on my blog sooner or later. Plus, I’m a novelist — saying something in 140 characters isn’t in my nature!<\/p>\n
But this week, I decided to try an experiment. I’ve set up a twitter account for Cassie Scot, the heroine of my new urban fantasy series. She is listed as a NORMAL detective, and adds that<\/p>\n
NORMAL Detective. Please note: I do not do love spells, location spells, exorcisms, summonings (demon or otherwise), potions, charms, or memory modification.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Her location is given as Eagle Rock, MO, the primary setting for the series and Cassie’s hometown.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure what Cassie will have to say, but she usually comes up with something. This is all just for fun — no spoilers, no direct pushing of the books (although indirectly, its existence is a push for the books). At this point, I’m actually picturing Cassie as she is before the start of book 1, trying to establish a NORMAL detective agency but having little luck. Once the book comes out, I may shift that timeframe, but I will continue to avoid blatant spoilers. (Teasers are fair game.)<\/p>\n
If you’re interested, here’s the twitter link:<\/p>\n
