I recently decided to rebuild my website and platform. I had been using a simple WordPress site and had been paying a significant monthly fee for an email list management / bulk sending provider. I have a hosting plan and I can install WordPress on my sites, so...
Oh boy, here we go. I'm sorry I haven't interacted more! I had high hopes of maintaining a fun presence on Facebook and using the group to excite readers and help push the Infinite Vampire series to the next level (whatever that means/meant) but I couldn't hack...
