Well, I’ve got the new website up and running and it’s amazingly different from the old one. It’s green and floral, but if you’ve come here from the website itself, you will know and if you haven’t, you can try http://margaretbowker.yolasite.com and have a look. It’s not finished yet, some text and new ideas to put in, but it’s getting there. It’s very bright and modern and I have various people to thank including Yola, Ron, and Billy of www.bklahrke.com design studio. So thanks everyone.
Is this a good sign I ask myself? Does a new vibrant website mean the coming year is going to be a better one for the writing project? I hope so, but interesting things are happening. For one thing, sites are starting to rent out the books for students, which means you don’t have to buy and of course, it’s cheaper. Some unusual sites are selling the books, like Hammicks, the BMA book seller, and if it’s not an error, I’m pleased. I like to think my characters explore the human condition. And, another interesting thing, the books on Create Space, you may remember I was disappointed because they stayed strictly on Amazon, are being sold by other sites now. I don’t know whether Amazon have relaxed their policy or whether these sites like Abe books and bookrenter are buying the books and reselling them, but the prices are good.
Oh, it’s tempting to spend a little and get some advertising. I may purchase a domain name and see if that activates google a bit. The Interloper rewrite has gone off for the, ugh, hopefully, last proof copy and should be released soon. I really like this version. It’s a good read and it’s going to be even better and you’ll be able to get it free in download from lulu. I’m also working on Julia and that’s coming along well. Hope to have it out in November and I have another in the pipeline, which is very promising. So what with the projects, life can never be boring. One day in the not too far distant future, I shall consider writing an autobiography for a change of pace and genre. So goodbye for now and keep writing!
