Probably not, actually. ;) But, it is pretty exciting! For me, anyhow.

Now for the unveiling of my beautiful professional website.

Here it is, folks!

*drumroll*

http://jgracepennington.com/

Have a look around, tell me what you think! Let me know if you find any problems, bugs, or anything you particularly like, and stay tuned for more news about my upcoming book release!

Special thanks to my web designer, our very own Andrew, and my photographer, my talented sister Patience. ^_^

*bounces*

Ooh! It looks great! You and Andrew did a very good job on it. :D

If I may, I would suggest making the header, menu bar, and paragraph on the home page more compact. As it is right now, I have to scroll down just to see the latest blog post. Since anyone who views your website more than once is probably coming to see new stuff, it can get tedious to have to scroll down the home page every time.

But anyways, that is just my opinion. :D

I loved the blog post, especially hearing about your first book. :D Is that a photo of you when you were little, or is it just a generic photo?

That's a good thought. I will for sure mention it to Andrew. :)

Just generic, sadly -- I don't have any of me writing when I was little. ;) I'm glad you liked the post! Thanks for visiting!

Very nice blog Amaris! And yes, I was sort of waiting for it...though I admit I had forgotten about it. :blush:

I'm looking forward to more posts. ;)

Oh and I also really really liked the little bio at the top, you have a neat skill set and those words show that beautifully. :cool:

*has been reading more*

I really like your "Who Am I?" section, too, very profoundly awesome. :cool:

Thank you so much! Those took a long time to perfect, and it's really nice to hear they come through well. Thanks for visiting, commenting, and letting me know what you think!

Thanks also for following me on Twitter. :D

Just a few more days! Hopefully it will be up on Amazon in time. :D

In the meantime, you can read the prologue online. ^_^

:dieshappy: I will, however, wait to read the prologue on the theory that it will make waiting easier if I don't see the awesomeness yet.
