Hi Everyone I wanted to introduce you to Deanna's first "Official" online newsletter/e-letter Swampbytes. This has been a dream I have wanted to see come true since I first saw Deanna on RockStar and with Rose & Deanna's permission, help, research and expertise we all had a hand in helping to make this possible. So many of our (Rose & I's) dreams are beginning to come true and this one was one that was very important to me personally. I am speaking for myself, I know Rose feels the same ;D I am posting the very first swampbytes newsletter that was released last month. If your not on Deanna's mailing list and haven't received Swampbytes,please e-mail her at info@deannajohnston.net to start receiving these monthly newsletters. Swampbytes is so full of color in every way, it quenches your Deanna appetite in the most perfect way. I hope you enjoy this new newsletter and please let us know your thoughts and if you have any ideas as to what you would like to see more of in the newsletter please don't hesitate to e-mail me at Swamprawks@charter.net. FYI... The June issue of Swampbytes will be out on June 1st...let me know if you want to make sure you get a copy,just e-mail me.... Have a great weekend!!! #teammig# #thyourock#

Yes..Toni Deanna loves to be a big part of everything we do. That's what I love about her. We all help with adding information,editing(mostly rose..hehe) and creating before Deanna sends it to everyone on her mailing list. You know what they always say 3 heads are better than one!! ;D Deanna is the brilliant creator of that gorgeous peacock look. She loves earth tone colors. We hope people will become more involved on giving us feedback about what they would like to see more of in the newsletter..If you or anyone has any ideas..please feel free to post away, we would love to hear them. I was thinking about maybe asking Deanna 5 questions that would help us to know her better. It's a thought. Let me think on this... I need some good qeustions...that's gonna make her go Hmmmm??? ;D Thanks for all your support always... #thSENDIN1# Thanks Kay Were so happy you enjoyed reading it!! Of course were gonna share it with our family, I couldn't think of anyplace better other than TM #thSENDIN1#

Questions....ok, so why don't you use a posting on her websites to have the website visitors send in a question and pick from those questions??? You could even enclude the fans initials on the question/answer part of the newsletter. Save them, and you can have a permanent 'question corner' for each issue! Just an idea, not sure how easy it would be to actually implement, lol.

Toni..that's exactly what I would like to do. #thclever663# I wanted to start here and ask any of you if you would like to participate? Those of you who would like to participate in a Question & Answer Interview with Deanna,please post your questions here or send me a e-mail to swamprawks@charter.net. I wanted to pick about 10 questions for this month seeing as we don't have a lot of room on the newsletter but would love to get some fan interaction with Deanna in Swampbytes. Deanna is really excited about this to!! ;D If your great question makes it in Swampbytes OF COURSE Your name will be the one asking the question.....So come on ask away!!LOL We hope you guys would like to be apart of this first time Q&A Interview with Deanna. I will go post something about this on Myspace as well. I hope to get a good response on Myspace. Wish us luck!! Love you guys and thanks for any help you can give us!! #teammig# #thyourock# In case any of you missed June's issue here it is....

Wow, 10 questions per issue? Lol, I have visions of one or two! But then, I am not much of a visionary. Also, it wouldn't actually have to be an interview, you could just send her a couple questions and she could send back her answers. Do you remember MiG's original website that was run by his pal Jonas? It had this little 'box' that had questions and answers...people would send in questions via a special contact box, and then the question and answer would appear in the box on his front page sometime in the future...as in whenever MiG or Jonas would get around to answering. The same concept would work for newsletter as well as for a website.

Toni.. I never knew that about MiG..Had no idea who was running what for him..half the time. I really like the idea though... Maybe at some point it would be fun to interview her. If you have a couple questions..send them in..and we'll get it on the newsletter... That's a really great idea...Thanks for all your imput..

Well, the old "mig the jet fighter design" website was "pre-rockstar", so I don't think too many of his newer fans ever saw it. It was unavailable during the run of the show, and after it was back on, they had problems with the forum. I will send in a couple questions, remind me with an email from the addy so I can just hit 'reply'!!! Or just put a live link or a reply box into the newsletter, that will encourage more people to send in questions!

Wow I almost forgot about posting Deanna's Swampbytes here. I really need to be more involved on this site. My apolgies. I know most of you see Deanna's stuff posted on FB, so I don't think to post it here, cause in my mind you guys have already seen it and don't want to be bothered by seeing it again here. Although I know that's not true!!! Swampbytes just had their 1 year Anniversary and were so very proud of how we all have hung in there. Through many detours, we held strong to our dream of keeping Swampbytes alive. I want to personally thank Deanna for all her hard work and efforts to make sure this newsletter gets done in a timely fashion. No matter what she's doing or where she is, Swampbytes is one of her many priorities. I give her credit for putting up with me half the time I know I don't make it easy on her..lol ;D She's amazing and I love her to death, not to mention she puts up with me!!! ;D Thanks D for all your patience, guidance & hard work!!! Rose~ Thank you for all your amazing editing skills for Swampbytes. You have made it a true success!! One year girlie...our dreams are coming true!!! Thank you for all you do. I know it has been a huge challenge for us all. You have been so patient and so helpful through it all!! I love you partner!! One more shout out to all of you who take time to read Swampbytes and make comments on FB, you guys are truly priceless. I appreciate all your love & support, Team MiG has truly been my BEST FRIENDS in the whole world! Here's 2 of the latest newsletters. Sorry they are not in order. If you want to find out what you missed in back issues just go to Deanna's fan page blog.
