So, what do you think?

I'm curious to know what readers think of my new website. It combines two things I love: writing and gardening.

Anyone who visited my website during the past year probably wondered if I fell off the face of the earth. No new releases were posted. No reviews went up. Nothing got updated. I even had one concerned reader write to ask if I was okay.

I'm happy to report I'm fine. Better than fine, in fact. As Dave Ramsey says, I'm better than I deserve to be.

I've been working on books -- four of which were released in North America in 2008. (See the Books page for titles, blurbs and excerpts.) I also have three books due out in 2009. (Look for Marrying the Manhattan Millionaire in U.S. stores in April.) So, I've been busy, busy, busy.

Not everything has been about work, though. My husband and I also welcomed another son in December 2007, a wonderful little guy who is full of energy and giggles. His name is Will, he turns 4 years old at the end of this month and his favorite word is "Why?"

Once I found some time, though, I knew I had to do something about my outdated website. So, I threw some ideas out to the wonderful folks at Ohno Design, worked up a tagline (Love blooms in every book) and had new photographs taken. (Kaiser Studio in Troy, MI did a fabulous job of making me look far more glamorous than I normally do.)

I think the end result looks pretty darned good. I also think the site is easy to navigate and should help readers find places online where they can purchase my books, especially those books that are already off store shelves.

But tell me, what do you think?
