Website Redesign

I launched my website back in 2008, the year I published my first book. I've done a few tweaks to the site since then (updated the header graphic, etc), but I thought it time for a major overhaul. So for the past few weeks, I've been messing around with layout options and working with my web designer to give the site a new look. And now the site's officially updated/redesigned. If you want to check out the new look, click HERE.
My intention with the redesign was to give the site a cleaner look and to make it easier to navigate and find information. If there's anything you're looking for that's not on the site, or if you have any feedback on the updated site, I'd love to hear from you. Just send me a note at ava @ avamarch (dot) com. 

In addition to the new look, the Books page layout was changed to better group the series books, the layout of each book's page was tweaked and I added links to the Story Behind the Story posts...which made me realize I haven't done that feature on my blog for awhile. So I'm going to get back to doing it for the more recent releases. 

In other news, The Bound Series is officially available on CreateSpace. It will take a few days before it's available on Amazon US and the various Amazon Europe sites. I'll post here, update my site, and send out an e-newsletter when it's available on the Amazon sites. 

There's still time to enter the giveaway on Stumbling Over Chaos for a print copy of The Bound Series. Contest open until 7pm CST on August 13th. 

That's all from me. Hope everyone had a great weekend! I spent a fair amount of time watching the Olympics (i.e. watching men in speedos). Yeah, I'm currently in love with summer sports.

    Love the new design, very clean. Which is ironic don't you think? *giggles*

    I've been bad about making my blog rounds...shame on me. I'll try to do better. xoxo

      Now that you mention it, yes, it's very ironic ;) Don't know why I didn't notice before, but I can always count on you to tug my brain back where it needs to be. You're good like that :)

    I love the new design. It's easy and soothing on my old eyes! I like the easy navigation, too.

    Job well done.

      Thanks, Tracey! One of my main goals was to get black text on white, to make the site easier on the eyes. One of these days, I'll tackle the blog and revamp it too.
