Might not be the right place for this...but need opinions

Eric the new site looks great--a significant improvement over the last one.

I have no problem leaving this notice here, because you're asking advice from Fantasy readers. However, when your book is actually out, you need to announce it in the Announcements, Events, and Self-Promotion forum.

Good luck with the book.

I have a dial-up connection, and some of the graphics took rather a long time to load. This also happened with the photos on your bio--you may want to think about shrinking the size of the files there.

I think it's a very nice site and easy to navigate. The only thing is I sort of expected to see pictures of the book or books on the books page.

Eric, I thought the new site looks cool. I didn't see the old site, so can't compare, but this is very professional looking. It's easy to read (which with a black background can be a problem) and has lots of information and extras. That's what people go to writer websites for: the extras.

I do agree that the books page should contain the cover of the book or at least some other type of graphic. It's plain at the moment, and for websites you want some graphics if at all possible.

Good luck with the book release!

Very nice. I've always preferred dark backgrounds myself, it's easier on the eyes. Navigation is easy, loads fast for me (cable internet but certain sites do have slow loading with no reasonable explanations). The style is nice too, not overpowering or gaudy. I also did not see the old site, but this one does look quite professional.

Other than the missing book covers others have mentioned, the site looks great, Eric. Good luck with the launch!

Site looks fine.



Is your book really called The Forge of the Gods? One of my favorite novels is called The Forge of God. It was so good, it scared me out of writing science fiction for 5 years.

I agree. It looks very smart.
