Hi!
Just a few technology related updates…
I currently maintain two official author blogs– one on Blogger (https://hscontino.blogspot.com/) and one on WordPress (https://hscontino.wordpress.com/)– so readers can choose their preferred platform. Although I initially created the blogs to promote my writing career (updates on my writing, books in progress, book festivals, and author talks), I also like to post about other topics that are important to me. The basic theme of my blogs are creativity and creative outlets. But, I also write about current events, fun things to do, and some of my other hobbies (including crafting, drawing, geocaching, and amateur astronomy).

I recently learned that Blogger is disabling their subscribe by email feature. Despite my best intentions, I’m not very good at keeping up with a regular blogging schedule. As a result, the email feature was helpful for letting people know when there was a new post available for them to read.
So, I’ve been exploring other options. I recently created a Mailchimp account: https://mailchi.mp/[xxxxxx]/please-subscribe-to-my-author-blog
If you’d like to continue to receive email notifications when I publish a new blog post, please subscribe through this email message. Or, you can subscribe to my WordPress blog. (As far as I know, they’re planning on keeping that feature).
As always, thanks so much for supporting my writing or visiting my Etsy shop, Reprieve’s Corner (www.etsy.com/shop/ReprievesCorner). I really appreciate your support! Without you, I wouldn’t be able to pursue my passions– which all involve some sort of creative outlet! 🙂
Have a great evening!

PS: Hmph… technology! It looks like the sign-up link I got from Mail Chimp isn’t working. So, if you’re interesting in subscribing to my blog then please either e-mail or sign up through my Blogger blog (try saying that three times fast!).
