Dear friends, I confess I have been hiding in shame. Somewhere in the neighborhood of five months ago, I offered to redesign a couple of author websites for free. Two lovely strangers from blogland took me up on it. I completed the first in a couple of weeks. But the second was a little bit trickier, requiring a simultaneously simpler and more meaningful aesthetic, and a LOT more content and functionality. It was taking more thought and more time and then... well, life got in the way. Life being primarily in the form of contractual obligations to paying clients, and secondarily in the form of two broken arms. And while I can declare without qualification that I could not physically have accomplished it sooner (I haven't even completed my own website), I feel so very badly that this lovely, talented, and patient author had to wait until about thirty seconds before her book launch to get her new website.
So, as a favor to me, please go visit D.J. Kirkby's new site, and congratulate her on the publication of her debut novel, Without Alice.
Oh no! How are your arms now and what happened? That's awful.
ReplyDeleteI've already seen the new site (I didn't realise it was one of yours) and it's awesome. I'm sure it was worth waiting for.
I had no idea you were hurt though. How are you now?
Thanks, fhh. I broke my left elbow and my right hand when I tripped down a couple of steps outside the book store (!) in early summer. They arms are fine now, but I'm still catching up from the missed work time.
ReplyDeleteOuch! I think considering everything you should never have considered that "in hiding"! The site looks nice. It always feels good to finish new website projects!
ReplyDeleteGood to have you back, Kate! I'm glad your arms are better. The sites look great :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert, it is a huge relief. Steph, thanks for sticking around! And thank you all for checking out D.J.'s site.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Kate!
ReplyDeleteI came by to get your url to add to my 'places I visit' page. I love the website you built for me and think of how lucky I am everytime I look at it. Thank you so much. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy! And D.J., I'm SO(oooooo) pleased you like it!
