Hi Everyone,
I've only recently launched my author site and at the moment it's loking a bit generic so i've had a few ideas and would love some feedback from kboarders with their own author sites.
I'm a horror/thriller writer so I've been toying with the idea of making my site a little more creepier, for example here are some ideas I had
* A header image of the grim reaper, writing on parchment with a quill, illuminated by a candle with the line "Michael J Elliott, writing stories from the dark realm"
* A dark background featuring a full moon or some other sinister look.
* A photo of me holding a skull (plastic of course) with a knowing smile.
These are just a couple of my ideas but since I'm new to talking about myself, I'm just wondering whether my ideas are too OTT or whether my readers (and those who check me out) may appreciate the sinister tie in with my books.
Any feedback would be great, also if noone finds my "scarey" theme appropriate, could you please provide some ideas about how to make the site look less bland?
Thank you
KBoarders rock!
