Celebrating My New Website
I always had an excuse: a manuscript to complete, a manuscript to edit, a new book to plot. The idea of building a website had as much appeal to me as the thought of my next mammogram.
I've been putting it off for almost a year. Last month, I ran out of excuses. The third book in my Damien Dickens Mysteries series was on the market. I was between plots, and needed something to take my mind off the election ads. It was time to tackle the website.
The first decision was where to build. I looked at Wix, but decided on Wordpress. I was familiar with the Wordpress tools, as I had used Wordpress to host my old food safety blog, eFoodAlert. They have a plethora of free templates, and offer a static home page - all I needed for a relatively modest website.
Once I decided on a template, it took just a few hours to design and populate the site with a Welcome page, a short bio, a page for my books, and a blog page. And, magically, Gone Writing was born.
To celebrate the birth of my latest writing offspring, I am offering a free e-copy of my first novel, THE GREEN PEARL CAPER: A DAMIEN DICKENS MYSTERY, to the first 50 people who visit the site and either leave a comment or complete the pop-up form to subscribe to my monthly newsletter, Damien Dickens News. This celebratory promotion is in effect until the end of November.
I hope to see you over at Gone Writing very soon.
