Changes...here, there, everywhere

As you've noticed here, and I talked about last month here, I've had my website redesigned. I got my original design when I was still unpublished, without a contract. Just a hopeful writer. At the time I was writing paranormals, but turned out that my contemporaries were the ones that caught an editor's eye first. While I loved the design, after three years and five books, I had to face the cold hard facts. It was time to say good bye to the old look.

There are now drop-down menus, an "Extras" tab where you can find my free books and deleted scenes. There is a "Series" tab so if you're following either of my series, you'll be able to find them listed in order, a "Coming Soon" tab that I'll hopefully keep filled :D On my Booklist, there are now links not only to my publisher's stores but also to Amazon, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, the Book Depository, All Romance eBooks...so you'll have lots of choices depending on where or how you buy your books! Got a Kindle, you'll have a link. Got a Nook - easy peasy. Considering that 90% of you buy from those sites, I wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to find my books.

Here's the biggie considering you're reading this here on Blogger...my blog is moving over to my website so everything will be together in one place. I started posting here back in January 2007, so there are four years of posts and comments. It was wonderful for an unpublished author to have a place to find friends, both readers and other authors. But I'm thrilled that I will be able to have my blog on my website. This site has become like a second website to me, especially once Blogger added its pages feature. But it took an incredible amount of time and challenged my memory about all the places I needed to post links.

It should make it easier for you too -- no more jumping around between sites. Everything will be in one place, so if I talk about a book on a Snippet Saturday, you just have to click on a tab in the top menu and you'll be right there on the book's page, with excerpts and trailers and buy links. And then you can slide over to the Extras page to see if there are any deleted scenes, or free reads.

What it all means is that I'll be posting over there instead of here. I've moved my Google Friends Connect link to there, changed my feed to Goodreads, and will change the feed to Amazon in the morning. (As Dee said to me the other day, it's like changing banks and trying to remember all the bills that come out automatically.) Everything will switch over gradually. If you get your RSS feed from this page, you may have to change it over to that page.

I hope to see you there...because I'm going to have a question for you to answer. (and I'll have a new cover to share with you!)

Same bat time, but not the same bat place...now it'll be http://LeahBraemel.com/blog

And you just might want to take a look at the blog -- there's a new cover up and as Dee Carney said over on Twitter: "Get out the H20" It's one hot cover!
