What I did on my day off
Saturday, April 10th, 2010 06:12 pmAs threatened, I worked with my spiffy new layout program, which was remarkably soothing. I’ve also made a start on a Carousel Tides website. It’s not by any means done yet; I want to add a cast of characters, and some sample chapters and a post about why I wrote this book — to, yanno, defuse those folks who will ask Why On Earth I wasted my time writing urban fantasy.
If you have a couple moments, do you mind going over and taking a look at the place? Let me know what you think, and what you might find useful in such a site.
Thanks — and I hope everyone had as relaxing a day as I did.

Grabbing the brass ring
Date: 2010-04-10 11:36 pm (UTC)With the caveat that I'm not a web designer.
1: Are you planning to treat the site as a Carousel Tides blog?
2: If the answer is yes it looks fine. A little sparse yet, but fine.
3: If the answer is no then I would have liked you to lead off with the cover art. It would have much more impact.
3a: What you wrote was important and well said but wordy for the front page of a web site. Most could have been put behind a sub-page link.
3b: As a web page I know it is a work in progress but you'll need to go back and link the hell out of what you wrote. Internally or externally, from Agent of Change to the cover artists web site.
Your Sharon Lee web site will provide many useful link backs.
That's my opinion, your mileage may vary.
