The Mystery of Willow

A companion website presence to this blog is my Facebook page, An Ordinary Fairy by John Osborne. (Check it out, there's a link on the right.) I post there more frequently, because the process is simpler and the size limit is smaller. And frankly, I have a lot more Facebook followers than blog followers. (299 vs. 9 as of today.)

A fun thing I've tried on the Facebook page is posts by Willow, the main character of all my novels. (She's the ordinary fairy.) Those who've read An Ordinary Fairy know she's a skilled hacker, and she uses those skills to sneak in and post her own thoughts on my page. Willow has strong opinions on many topics, but she likes to have fun, too, so her posts are always interesting and usually timely with the season and any holidays.

One phenomena is that Willow's posts are much more popular with my followers than my posts. I can post and get one "Like" and no comments. She can post a picture of flowers and talk about spring and get nine likes and three comments! Okay, she's cute, I know, but really?
