What would you like to see on my website?
I've had a request for an addition to my website that I think is a great and fun idea: a list of characters for each book, who they are, and how they relate to the story. I might even try my hand at character and place name pronunciation (that's also been requested). I can drag my college Linguistics books out and put them to good use. ; )
Another thing I'm going to start doing is every Monday at the top of my post, I'll list the book(s) I'm reading that week. I'm trying to carve out more time to read for enjoyment (very important for a writer), so posting what I'm reading will push me. After all, it'd get embarrassing to keep listing the same books for weeks at a time.
What else would you like to see? This website exists to spread the word about my books to you, my readers. And I'm trying to be informative, entertaining, and mildly educational at the same time. It's all about you guys. If you're shy about responding to this blog, send me an email at lisa@lisashearin.com. I love getting fan emails. When I'm stuck or just not having a good writing day, your emails always pick me up. And I'm happy to announce that your emails now outnumber the Viagra spam. WooHoo! I find it hysterical that I'm getting emails on how to enhance a body part that I don't even have.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Have you checked out Jennifer Estep's website? Also, Austin Grossman, the author of SOON I WILL BE INVINCIBLE has an awesome site. Both of these authors obviously paid some serious bucks for web design, but they are also chock full of content. I am of the belief that you don't have to spend a lot of money for a site to attract visitors, but you must have compelling content.
I like the name pronunciation idea guidelines! Teasers about the characters are always fun as well.
I'll be sure to check out their sites. I'm always open to new ideas. Thanks!
Hmmm, just brainstorming here, but how about bios or shorts on your characters? You could do one per day, or per week...depending how much material you have.
I'd like to know a little more about what Raine, Mychael and Tam were doing pre-MLTF. Some of the minor characters might be interesting, too.
Just a thought. :)
A lot of Tam's past (but definitely not all) comes out in Armed & Magical. I had toyed around with doing character bios. Or . . . I just thought of something else that would be fun -- character Question & Answer sessions. Once a week, a character will be available to answer questions. I think that'd be good for Fridays. I usually post in the mornings. That way everybody can have the weekend to think of questions and get in on the fun.
