A special thank you to Karen Jones and Publishers Weekly for sharing my comments in their recent article Can Mommy Bloggers Help Christian Children’s Book Sales? Also included in the piece are the insights of my friend and Ave Maria Press colleague  Karey Circosta, who seems to agree with me that the trust we bloggers work to build with our readers truly does help them in their book buying selections.

A huge thanks to my friend and fellow Ave Maria Press author Heidi Schlumpf for featuring my work and advice on Catholic social media in her recent article for the National Catholic Reporter. Heidi references my recent webinar on the topic sponsored by Ave Maria Press and does a great job summarizing some helpful guidelines for parishes and ministries looking to become involved in using social media tools to communicate and to serve. Thanks Heidi!

I would like to thank my dear friend and fellow writer Roxane Salonen for including me in her recent articles for U.S. Catholic magazine. You’ll find me quoted in Roxane’s pieces entitled Come follow me: On faith and Facebook and One Tweet too many: Take a social media fast. In both articles, Roxane offers a terrific perspective on how Catholics are employing the latest digital technologies to share their faith. Thanks to Roxane for including me in her findings!

I had the pleasure of appearing with Brian Patrick on his Son Rise Morning Show on Monday, December 21 to discuss my Catholic Exchange article “Ten Catholic Geek Memories of 2009″. In the event that you missed this appearance and would like to hear the audio, click on the player below.
