You’ve all been part of my writing journey and I wanted to share my new website with you. I’ll still be blogging here (try just and stop me) but wanted a place solely for promoting my creative work. It will feature links to my works as well as some of my poems. What do you think of the site? Let me know what you think by clicking on the link below.

Lovely site! As your works grow, it’s a great idea to make a dedicated author page.
Thanks. I’ve gotten interest already so it’s already making a difference.
Awesome!
great! well done on all info… 👍💕📚
Thanks. I wanted something that was a bit more formal but easy to navigate and that really encouraged readers to see my work. I’m glad I was able to get you on there too.
The site looks good, but I couldn’t see where to comment, and I wondered why you had written in the third person.
I thought about using first person but it didn’t work as well when I drafted it. I considered having the comments section open, but not for the moment. Hits are quite low at the moment and I need to get more of a following. Thanks for checking it out and your feedback 🙂
it looks great and I agree that it’s good idea to have a dedicated author page
Thanks Beth 🙂 Yes it should really help promote my work, especially when I can mention it at writing events I hope to go to when the world starts getting back to normal.
Half Welsh, half Mexican. Wow! I never heard of that combo before. It explains your good looks. 😉 Congratulations on your new post!
Thanks, it’s a rare combination. I’m really happy with how it turned out and it’s encouraging me to write even more.
Hey Alex, thank you for sharing your new space! Looks great! Professional. Glad to hear you’re staying creative. Take good care my friend!
Thanks Sandra. It’s been something I’ve thought about for a while so great to have it up ready. Feels like another big step in my writing journey.
Looks great! Nice and clean, and easy to navigate 🙂
Thanks, that’s exactly what I was going for. I wanted something that really encourages people to read more of my work
Congratulations Alex, all the best for the future! Communication is a great way to promote.
Thanks Louise. Exactly what I was goinf gor. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
I love, LOVE your new site. I like the design and the easy navigation.
Thanks! That’s exactly what I was going for. A lot of thought went into it and I’m glad it comes across 🙂
Fantastic news, I’m happy for you.
I like the blue circle as it’s similar to your book cover just below the opening page. You’ve not featured your photography perhaps if you try to theme the photos that have any relevance to your books and put links on your twitter and any other social media they will draw people in, don’t forget to put your signature on them.
The book reviews are a great idea it’s so good to get good reviews you did well there with so many excellent write ups.
I’d take the dates of the poetry so they all appear current but it’s that’s just an idea. I wonder if you thought of having a buy, shop, or check out button on the top that links through to Amazon
That’s great feedback. I’m glad you liked it and I’ll look into those ideas for sure. The blue circle was the designer’s idea and it grabbed me straight away too. I need to have a think about the photography.
