Author Interview + Author Website

[osprey_archer]

On Friday at 8 pm UTC (3 pm EST) I'm going to be giving an author interview about Honeytrap over on the Queer Romance Readers discord. One of the bits and bobs of information they wanted was an author website... which I had not bothered to set up... but now I have an author website!

It is extremely bare bones and likely to remain that way: basically just a list of my available books. With links! Which will take you to the appropriate Amazon site anywhere in the world! You would think that is something that Amazon would make easily available to authors, but no, in fact they do not, I had to ask plaintively for aid on a different author discord to discover that the way to get a universal link is Booklinker, which is free as long as you aren't using affiliate links. (Leaving that link here in case any fellow authors have been yearning for this knowledge, as I was!)

Congratulations, that's fabulous! Also, the new website looks great--I love the photo of plum blossoms (are they plum blossoms? They look like plum blossoms.)

[osprey_archer]

They sure look like it, don't they? It was someone else's tree I was taking the picture of (and this was a few years ago anyway), so I'm not totally sure.

Oh, fantastic!

[osprey_archer]

I'm pretty excited!

[amaebi]

No wonder!

That's a good reason to actually go and set up your author website!

I still don't have one for Calandra, also on account of '...but effort and cannot be bothered'. It's on my to do list for at some point this year.

I found the process of setting up the Wordpress site MADDENING (they really want you to use their paid services, and tend to hide away the free options in the corners...) but in the end it really took only an afternoon, if that offers any encouragement about the prospect of putting yours together. (Of course, you might want a site that is slightly less bare bones than mine! In which case it would take longer.)

I mean, your website listing your books is the most important thing, so with bare bones you have that covered!

Besides, once you have the bare bones, I could expand from there.

But first, finishing a thing for me!
