It is my pleasure to announced my new book series Midnight Musings. A collaborative project, the first book in the series Midnight Musings: Interpersonal Communication & Social Media (2018) was released on November 7, 2018.
Midnight Musings: Interpersonal Communication & Social Media traces how social media impacts, changes and evolves common interpersonal communication practice. Throughout this text, Shepard explores foundational theories and expands the scope of these theories to introduce new concepts (indirect definitions, preference/prejudice continuum, illusion of perspective, & amiendships) for a greater understanding of interpersonal communication.
