What are YOU doing here?


Why are you back? I thought you guys were completely and totally like Pouff!

Not so, grasshopper. Squawk Radio has ceased existence as a “daily blog” but as all karmic experiences, now that we have mastered this existence, we are recreated in another.
Yeah, yeah, right. But what does that mean to ME, the Squawk Blog reader?

Well, you’ll have to go other places for a daily blog fix. The obvious choice is to trundle right on over to the Squawkers’ individual blogs. Both Teresa and Liz have their very own blogs.  Right now Teresa has simply gathered all of her Squawk blogs there but if she gets wildly inspired, she may post a couple of blogs a month.  She’ll try to alert you with her newsletter, so be sure and sign up.  And the beat goes on with Liz, who has promised to keep posting her music blogs.  I do know both women well enough to be confident that there’ll be plenty of babbl---er, writing going on.

Teresa’s blog is at:
http://www.teresamedeiros.blogspot.com
and Liz’s blog is at:
http://bevarly.blogspot.com

and forget not that Christina,too, will be recycling her blogs but she’ll be doing so on her own site at
www.christinadodd.com

and Eloisa has a smokin’ bulletin board at:
www.eloisajames.com

and I am starting to play with videoblogs and making my own trailers, so soon (like this week) for those of you who are into campy amateurism, check out:

Lisa has a different approach to this whole promotional thing. She works without pause on her books. Huh.

Where else can I go to get my Squawk Fix?

Websites. We all have websites. And we all have made fresh commitments to creating six Fabu Multi-Media Cyberganzas for your edification and entertainment. You can visit them at:

Well, that’s good news but what’s going to happen to this site?

Like I said, it will transform (and despite Terri’s pleas, it will not transform into a never-ending loop of Russell Crowe sweating it up in Gladiator.) Squawk Radio may no longer be a daily blog, but it’s going to be here. In addition, you can check out the archives at any time. Just use the search function to find a blog by author or keyword. 

That’s it?  That’s all there’ll be here? Archives?

No. Right now, the plan is to use Squawk as a sort of Squawker’s Hub--- a place to post what’s happening on our individual websites, to stick links to any new content we add on our sites and list appearances we’ll be making. And, of course, we’ll be beating the drum whenever we have a book about to be released. The major difference being that we’ve turned off the comments to avoid those nasty spammers.

If you never joined our Member List, NOW is the time because we’ll be using those mini-e-newsletters to alert you to any new content posted on Squawk. 

But no more group blogs…?

“Never say never”—just “not daily” which in Squawk-speak translates to “randomly and sporadically and possibly occasionally.” Any of the Squawkers who don’t maintain a personal blog (and those who do) can always write a blog here just for grins or when the spirit moves. In which case, the comments will be turned on for a day or so.

So fret not! We love it too much to let Squawk Radio become a black hole.

Besides, we’re paid up on the site until next April…
