Bottle Top Bay is a small community not far from where I used to live. We used to go there for a drive some weekends and take Scotty for a walk. I used it as the setting for Summer in the City of Sails or at least that’s where Summer lives with Nikolai. Her Uncle Henry lives at Bottle Top Bay too. Louie and Mac from Soldier of Fortune vist Summer and Nikolai at Bottle Top Bay.
The other day hubby and I went for a bike ride together and took some photos.
These are both shots of Bottle Top Bay, taken from the other side of the estuary. As you can see the tide is out, and when it’s out it is really way out! It’s pretty though, and out in the country, but still not far away from the amenities of town.
I’ve finally signed up for Twitter. I have no idea what I’m doing. Heck, I’m still working out FaceBook. This is my Twitter address if you’d like to follow me.
I have two questions for you today: Do you like Twitter, and if so, why or why not? Do you enjoy background information about stories i.e. family trees, photos, info about where the idea came from etc?

I joined Twitter mid to late last year (i can’t even remember now!) mainly to follow agents. You do get some interesting snippets of industry info and goss that way! It can be time consuming but I enjoy the quick fire way of picking up info. I use it far more than I do FB (which I’m still struggling with, I don’t know why I find it so baffling!!)

I’m on Twitter, but I gave up on it months ago. It was such a time suck.
I still have the account open and I’ll check it out from time to time, but there is just too much chatter to filter.

I’m on twitter too. It depends on the day if I enjoy it or not. lol I’ve ran contest on release day, and they do very well there. Other days, I feel like I am talking to myself.
I talked about my motorcycle series a lot on Twitter, and got a lot of followers who are living the biker lifestyle. Love them guys! Plus, it gave me an avenue to reach them, since they didn’t go looking for my blog.

Hi Shelley! About twitter– I haven’t signed up yet but it seems everyone has!
The photos are beautiful! Wonderful setting for your story.
I do like to know more of the background about a story I enjoy. Though that depends on how short it is.

Yes to both…I like the immediacy and brevity of Twitter, and I definitely like hearing more background about a story.
Gorgeous pictures!

beautiful pictures.
I have a twitter account but I only use it to let others know about when I’ve published an article. I don’t really do anything else with twitter.
I do like a little background with the stories, it’s nice to know a little more most times.

I have a Twitter account but I really don’t use it. When I get a notice that someone is following me I’m like “WHY” I’m not doing anything. I like the extra information.
