Goodbye

Many of you on WordPress have become good friends over the years. This is a hard post for me to write, and it may very well be my last on this site. My Beloved and I are traveling more, and I find myself spread too thin with all of the social media venues available these days. I’ve decided to cut back on most of my social media activities.

I’d like to stay in touch. If you’d like to do the same and if you haven’t already done so, I invite you to “Friend” me on Facebook.

If you’d like to continue learning more about my latest writing projects, book releases, offers, and adventures in the publishing world, and perhaps a little songwriting and poetry along the way, please follow and “Like” me at my Facebook Author Page: https://www.facebook.com/russtownebooks/.

Thank you for the love, kindness, support, encouragement, and friendships so many of you have given to me over the years on WordPress. I wish you and your loved ones a life full of blessings.

With Love,

Russ

  7. I so get this Russ. I’m already following you on FB. So I’ll keep an eye on you there. 😉 Here’s to a happy life full of books!!!

  8. Good luck to you Russ. You will be missed

  9. Awww I’m sad to see you go but I definitely want to keep in touch on facebook. We’ll miss your good vibes on the blogosphere but I totally understand the importance of balance. I hope you enjoy your travels!

    It is hard to like this Russ as you will be missed. All I can do is wish you well and hope that you and your wife enjoy your travels. Stay well, happy and blessed. 💜💜💜💜

  11. Wishing you all the best on your next journey!

    Best of luck, sir! You have given me many smiles and even a few belly-laughs. I’ll miss you. Unfortunately, although I am on FB, I almost never actually go there. I’ll try to friend you, but I’m afraid you shouldn’t expect to hear from me much there.

    I hope your wife is fully recovered and thank your son and his family for their service.

    And, again, best of luck!
    Kevin

      Thank you, Kevin. My wife is full recovered. Will do. I’ve enjoyed experiencing your posts and comments over the years. Perhaps we’ll reconnect in some new way in the future. I look forward to that.
      Russ
