The Publishing Journey – Step 5: the Website

When I quit my day job, I decided to create a blog. With a little help from friends, I was able to get going on WordPress.com and have published quite a few posts, as you can see by the lengthy string of tags and archives to the right.
Now I’m publishing a novel – do I need a special Author Website? Or could I modify what I had to bring it up to date?
A friend, Carol Efron, who is also publishing a novel through She Writes Press, invited me to take a look at the website which she had created. Wow! A bunch of ideas: a home page! links to buy my book or read my first effort online! A picture of myself on the About page (which had not been updated for far too many months)!
If you are reading this post through a link or subscription, maybe you haven’t noticed any of the new look. But click on the About, Books, Travel, and Home tabs at the top and explore a bit. Then click on the Comment button to the left and tell me what you think!
BONUS: If you explore, you’ll find the FINAL COVER of my novel “The Three Lives of Mary Sutton” which I teased you about in Step 3 two weeks ago.
