What's old is new again! Welcome to my new site!
My best friend Kristi McConnell has introduced me to SquareSpace and I really feel like this is what I've been looking since I decided to start up a website. If you're reading this, I'd love to hear your feedback, so hit up my 'Interact' page and let me know what you think of the new design.
It's really important for authors (or aspiring authors!) to have a web presence these days. I think publishing is increasingly in the hands of the readers and they want a place to visit where they can learn about their favourite writers and books. We recently talked about this in my new 'Mystery and Suspense' class - our teacher agreed that having a webpage (and a good one at that) - is really important.
In the spec-fic community, I imagine it's even more essential to be accessible. In this era of smart phones, you could be sitting in a panel at a convention and your audience could be Googling you as you speak! Plus, as epub becomes more and more prevalent, having a site could mean a better reach and maybe even more sales.
I'll head off with one final thought - I've never had a blog on my site before! So please comment, browse, and share!
