Now it’s time to vote for the 2009 social media winners! If you already follow my daily deluge of posts and tweets, you know how hard I work to utilize the world of social media and marketing, not to mention blogging, to not only promote my own work, but the work of others in the horror and science fiction industries. I humbly ask for your support now and hope you’ll consider voting for me!
