DangerPeak.com Has Been Revamped (and Has a New Name)

These guys get it.

After a year and a half (and as promised in my last blog), this here website has been redesigned—and given a new name. Regular visitors of my site (all three of you) may have already noticed this, but now when you type in “www.dangerpeak.com,” it automatically redirects you to “www.michaelthomasperone.com.” I realize in an early blog I explained the reason why I named my website after my book and not myself is because, “I don’t want to be famous; I want my book to be famous” (also, “www.dangerpeak.com” is a lot easier to remember and type than my full name), but it’s also kinda ridiculous to name my site after one book when there’s a lot more going on in my world. For one thing, it’s no longer my only novel. (Pick up a copy of Déjà View this November, kids!) For another, I also wrote a poetry book, The Darkest Side: A Collection of Twisted Nursery Rhymes, and a compendium of my best blogs and articles over the past 25 years, Lists, Life, and Other Unimportant Details, which is still free to own as a PDF when people enter their email address to sign up for blog updates at the bottom of this page: www.michaelthomasperone.com/blog. I noticed people are still “following” my website by clicking the “Follow” button in the lower right-hand corner of their screen (something I learned that comes automatic with every WordPress site), but I won’t be able to send you the PDF that way because entering your address in that tiny box will only give WordPress your email address, not me. You have to enter it in the large box at the bottom of my blog page.

The homepage of this site has been redesignated as “Books” with a listing of the four books I’ve written so far. “So far?” you ask. Well, to be honest, I have an idea kicking around in my head for another book, though it won’t be a novel. That’s all I’ll say for now. It’s way too early to tease a new book, especially since my next book hasn’t even been released yet. I created a new page for Déjà View at “www.michaelthomasperone.com/dejaview,” and I added a dropdown submenu to my “Books” header menu, listing the four different books I’ve written. This last bit took forever to figure out… Okay, after a week of trying and failing, I just had a WordPress IT guy do it for me. Don’t let my nerdy appearance fool you; I’m not a computer guy!

Finally, you may have also noticed I updated all my social media accounts to read “Michael Thomas Perone” instead of simply “Danger Peak,” including my Facebook and Twitter accounts. My new Facebook address is “www.facebook.com/michaelthomasperone,” though for Twitter, it’s still “www.twitter.com/dangerpeak,” because it seems I’m not able to change my Twitter handle (oh, sorry Elon Musk, “X handle”), and I’m too lazy to create a new Twitter/X handle and gather followers all over again just to rename it.

In other Danger Peak/Michael Thomas Perone news, I approved the interior design of Déjà View last week and will be receiving first proofs to review soon. And, just for kicks, feel free to drop me a line and let me know how your summer is going. Hopefully swimmingly. (“HA!” screams ALF offsides.) It’s almost time for my annual watch of the Rob Reiner classic Stand By Me on Labor Day weekend, which means there’s precious time left of this magical season.
