paranoid schizophrenia.
It's been over a month since mylast podcast episode and I hope

recovering.
I will put all web addresses andsocial media handles I mention

in later episodes as well.
Why a new website?
My two old websites old website, overliveschizophrenia.

(00:50):
com and DianaDirkbycom are stillup, but I am not adding to them
anymore, which slows down thefrequency of my blog posts and
other website work while I adaptto the new site.
The new site still needs to bemade public.
s soon as it is, you'll be thefirst to know.
As the publication date of mylatest book, "three Kidnapped,

(01:10):
three Siblings, three Furies,draws near, I wanted to make a
website where I could showcaseall my books in one place and
talk about more than my books,for example, in my blog and
podcast.
I decided to enlist the help ofAmazon to create the basics of
the new website to give it amore professional look.

(01:32):
Why a revamping of my socialmedia?
My Instagram account ran intoproblems which I needn't burden
you with.
The old account, which willkeep running for a limited time,
was a diana under slash dirkby,under slash writings.
The new account is up andrunning.
The new handle is a dianadirkby under slash writings, so

(01:59):
there is no under slash betweendiana and dirkby as there was
for the old account.
Again, I am enlisting Amazon tohelp with the new Instagram
account.
The story about my Facebook pagedevoted to me and my novels is
similar and again I enlisted thehelp of Amazon.
The new profile's name is DianaDirkby Writings and its web

(02:23):

All in one word.
I have a few older profiles andpages which will be taken down
at some point o ensureeverything is clear,

transcript of this podcast and Iwill remind you of them in
later episodes.
I aim to create more effectiveand comfortable platforms for my
social media followers.
I also hope those who visit thenew website, be it for my blog,
