Diggin' mah digs.

Welcome to my new website! Isn't it kewl? I hate to gush so openly about something that is mine, mine, mine but as I can take absolutely no credit for it, I'm gushing anyway. The fine folks at www.austindesignworks.com* worked their tails off to give me an online home that I hope will be comfortable for both my readers and me. I needed a central and effective way to get all the latest information on my books to you, and you need a way to get the information you want in the fashion you want.

So you can now choose between RSS feeds, Facebook, Twitter, my forum *waving to the VPeeps* or my contact/comment page (which is new to me, so bear with me while I work out the kinks. I'm excited, though, because I think we've found a way for you to get your comments to me quickly and efficiently and for me to be able to respond in kind).

In any case, I couldn't be happier with the results. I get twitchy when I visit websites with too much going on, but let me know if there's a missing feature you'd like to see. The goal is to make this an interactive home base where you can feel free to pop in and out, or kick up your feet and lounge. I'm also now able to easily shoot off breaking announcements and news, as well as offer book excerpts, snippets, and giveaways, starting with the final book of the zodiac, The Neon Graveyard.

So mark it, post it, tweet it, store it – and have a look around, too. Cyber-cupcakes to the right. Champagne to the left. Oh, and I've dropped a couple of crumbs around the site about the new series I'm working on, too – which, of course, I'll be talking more about in this space later.

*I really can't say enough wonderful things about my web designer. If anyone out there is looking for a smart, friendly, efficient and affordable site/update, this is the place to go.
