Follow or Followed?

I'm sure you are all wondering if I mean something sinister or creepy by the title of my post. Is she being followed? Is she stalking someone else? I would have to go with no, on both of those.

It's actually a lot more innocent then that. The majority of you out there probably know what Twitter is, and if you do then you probably have some idea of what I now might be talking about. Yes, that's right. I'm referring to those people who either I follow on Twitter, or the ones who follow me.

Now I'm going to have to admit that I am one of those people who follow celebrities, and actually care as to what they are saying. I do follow some friends, but mostly it's famous people. To name a few: Jaret Reddick of Bowling for Soup, Joel and Benji Madden of Good Charlotte, Tucker Max, Megan McCafferty author of the Jessica Darling series, and Laurell K. Hamilton author of the Anita Blake series.

Just last week I started following the author Jonathan Maberry. He writes the Joe Ledger series, the first book being Patient Zero. It's a kick ass zombie novel, and if you haven't read it you need to. Just a fact but it has to be really terrible for a zombie book to not be good. Patient Zero is one of the best.

Anyways, the second book in the Joe Ledger series, Dragon Factory, has just come out and that's mostly the reason I started following the author on Twitter. Here's the best part of all of this. The morning after I start following him, and I have a new follower of my page. Can you guess who it was? Yep, that's right none other then the author Jonathan Maberry himself. I'm sure it was nothing more then because I had been talking about his books, but still wicked cool.
