You may have noticed my blog looks a little different. What do you think? (Scroll to the bottom to see the entire picture.)
I LOVE this new design by my brilliant friend/web designer, Ron Schirmacher. (Click on link if you'd like to find out more info or have him design a site for you.)
There's still a few little tweaks that need to be done, but I love that my beautiful mermaid is coming out of a book. (Hence the title of that story, The Sea Monster Memoirs: A Motley Mermaid.)
And the eyes in the eternity symbol represent my reincarnation story: Grasping at Eternity.
Do you love it? Hate it? Is it good? Bad?
Oh, speaking of Good and Bad...I have a winner to announce!
The winner of Elana Johnson's, POSSESSION ARC is...
Marquita Hockaday !!!
She wants to be a Goodie, but considers herself an In-betweenie. We'll see if she still feels that way when she finishes the book. ;)
Happy Memorial Day, everyone!

Congrats!
ReplyDeleteLike the blog makeover. Very dramatic!!! :O)
Aww, I love the new look! :)
ReplyDeleteKaren, your new blog design is absolutely gorgeous. Am I correct in thinking that The Kindrily has been renamed Grasping at Eternity? Or is it something different? Oh and congrats to Marquita! x
ReplyDeleteHi Thea! *waves*
ReplyDeleteYes I renamed The Kindrily to Grasping at Eternity. Trying to catch an agent's attention with a made up word seemed kinda tough. So I went with GAE. :) Hope people like it.
xo
LOVE the new look <3
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Thanks so much, Karen :) I've been trying to win this ARC for-like-ever! Thanks again and your blog looks super awesome!!
ReplyDeleteKHoops!!!! *love it!* How exciting! And how hottt is that mermaid? #IllHaveWhatShesHaving :)
ReplyDeleteGrasping at Eternity is a beautiful title and I'm certain an agent will snap it up. x
ReplyDeleteThe new look is gorgeous and fits you. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat's the ballpark # for him to design a page for someone?
Hi Shannon,
ReplyDeleteIt depends on what you want done and how long it would take me to design and code accordingly.
For this particular design and code would have been about $360. There was a version prior to this one that didn't make the cut which you can find here would only have been about $180.
So it really depends on what you want and how simple or complex the design is.
Nice! Congrats to Marquita.
ReplyDeleteNice makeover, thanks for sharing.
