Brian Igoe's Blog: Trying to write....

Covers
Everybody tells me my covers are amateurish (an insult, since I did them!)and I need a professional! Trouble is I can't afford that, not for all the books anyhow. So I'm starting with one for the newest book The Last King of Ireland, the story of Daniel O'Connell, and that should be up in a few days. If it makes a difference to sales, I'll think again...

Building a web site....
'Your website should have a single page dedicated to listing all of your books and where to buy them' they say. Problem - not enough room, so I've divided the books into categories, like The Ireland Books, LiteBite Books, and so on.
'About the Author' is a must have page, they say. I HATE writing about myself. Ah well, better give it a go...
'Multiple Ways to Contact/Follow/Like You' they say. That generates too much spam, I find. So I modify it.
'Email List Sign-Up'. Not sure about this. You can't make a list if nobody emails you. More thought needed...
'You!'. Same problem as the Author heading. Besides I'm not trying to sell me. That's quite a different business....
I wonder what the result looks like? (http://BrianIgoe.com)

Trying to write....
Writing, I find, is a slow business. What I have so far written has taken four years. So you can’t announce a new book every month in a Blog like this one.
So lacking a new book to announce each month ...more
