Welcome to the New Website!
So today marks the first day we’re live with the brand new website design (now using a WordPress theme instead of Joomla) courtesy of my amazing web design guru Nick Abbondandolo & his company DISSIM.com Based in Los Angeles, they do some terrific work and I can’t recommend him highly enough. We’ve still got some tweaks to implement and content to shift over, but we are very much live and I hope you enjoy checking out all the pages. Lots more to come in the months ahead…
Make sure you’ve gotten your hands on all the ebooks I’m currently offering! All the other pages except this one and the home page have a handy sidebar to the right where you can click on a cover image and be whisked away to Smashwords to purchase them all. And very shortly, we’ll be unveiling some hot new swag, including T-shirts and sweatshirts.
Hope you enjoy the site – let me know what you think!
BOOK GIVEAWAY!
To celebrate the new website, if you leave me a comment below, I’ll enter your name for a chance to win a signed copy of my latest Rogue Angel novel SACRED GROUND! This is a quickie event, so chime in and you might win when I draw a name tonight!

Looks real nice Jon!
I’ve added it to faves! (^_^)
Thanks very much!
Hey Jon, great site (love WordPress myself!), very cool little giveaway. 🙂
What a change in design – I think I like it :> I’m not generally too fond of dark backgrounds/light text…but this seems easy on the eyes so far. And I really like that banner! Nicely done.
Looks fantastic, Jon! BTW, I love your logo … very cool. Congratulations!
The new site is so much moodier…love it. Well done to you and the team.
Thanks Julie! Credit again goes to Nick who designed it. I happen to love it as well!
Thanks Dave, Charlene, and Neil! ‘Preciate you stopping by!
Great looking website!
The logo’s killer. Would make a great wood-carved hanko seal too!
Looks very nice. Very clean and easy to navigate
Thank you, Lee!
Chris, it definitely would make a great hanko. The business cards alone are going to look sweet. Thanks for stopping by! (BTW, I used one of your suggestions at the bottom of my blog posts – will do that from now on – thank you for the tip!)

The new site looks great. I am in the process of doing the same with mine (going from Joomla to WP). Makes me even more excited to finish mine up! Nice job and kudos to the design team.
I love the colors! Nice job!

Hi Jon
New design looks fantastic!! I think your guru did a great job 🙂 Terrific design, really easy to navigate around the site!
Thanks Lou – he did indeed! 🙂
It looks wonderful, Jon!
Thanks Ace!
Site’s pretty cool. Like the color design. Pretty easy to find stuff as well. Like the top bar categories, as well, though Writer/Producer/Ninja sounds like a Shaw Brothers job title. 😉
Thanks William, lol!
Love the design. Very userfriendly and easy to navigate. I added you to my RSS.

I like your site. Your subject is interesting.
I couldn’t easily find a summary of the stories. Probably still in the bubble wrap. Will visit again
Wow, I love the cover design, can’t wait to read it and the website looks amazing!!!
Thanks Chris – I need to get the stories summarized on their page, it should be around soon.

Thanks again!
Congrats to Michelle!
always a bridesmaid and never a bride….
thought about buying that one because it is your work and I am pretty sure that is a Bradstreet cover, I know he did a few that are displayed in his Archetype book. Like the new site look, not too different from the old as to be unrecognizable, but just different enough.
Thanks Brian!
This looks good nice design not over the top different but nice – keep up the good work
Thanks Kerry!
