So I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out what makes a good author website, because I'm not sure this thingie here is really working for me right now, and I have a new book coming out.

What do you say makes a good author website? Have you visited one lately? Tell me who it is and how I find them... Of course, my main objective is to write decent books, but if nobody ever hears about them, well, that would suck. So I want to be putting my best face forward. Or foot in my face. Or something. Talk to me in the comments. I like comments. Blessings. Listening to “Woman Like A Man” by Damien Rice from the album Cannonball on badgeitunes61x15lite.gif
