If you haven't seen it, the cover for The Deep Dark Woods anthology a short piece of mine will appear in is now on my Publications tab. I've also done some fiddling with the tabs in an attempt to get closer to making my blog my author website. If you have a second, check them out and let me know what you think!

What do you think of the cover for The Amaranthine? Any of these links of interest? Anything to share? Did you check out my updated tabs? What do you think about them?

May you find your Muse.

The cover for The Deep Dark Woods is wonderfully creepy! :)

I like how, on the Publications tab, you have the covers of where your work can be found. It feels like a lot of scrolling, though - of course, that could just be my computer set-up, etc. Could you put the "coming soon" work next to the work that's available now? Like two columns? Or two different tabs instead? (Just a thought - I am far from a marketing/blogging expert!) :)

I agree on the scrolling. I shrunk everything down and simplified the page, but I'm still not entirely happy with it. Hrm. Not sure if I can make the two columns, but I'll look at that.
