British author C.S. Winchester accompanies visitors on a tour of her paranormal mystery book series with a specially made free Flash website. Each book of the “Past Series”, as well as each of the main characters, has its own dedicated page of information arranged inside efficiently constructed sections of the website. This easy to use web page format is built with ease using the navigation tools in the free Flash website builder.
The author cleverly filled her promotional website with images of absorbed readers sitting on comfortable furniture, their eyes fastened to the pages of her latest novel. Each website page is divided into two sections, affording a balance of photos and text. This balance of content makes for a relaxed browsing experience, permitting guests to the website to absorb information while enjoying the visual environment.
An effective promotional device is found on the homepage. Reader reviews are presented with distinctive transition effects triggering the quotes to change every few seconds. There is a link to subscribe to the author’s mailing list. Attractive elements such as dotted lines and floral graphics were added with the free website builder to create a sense of personality. The books themselves may be ordered via links on the Buy page. A contact form widget was added through the free website builder to allow C.S. Winchester enthusiasts to contact the author from inside this inviting, literary website.
About the Author
As a young child, Cat Winchester adored reading, spending many happy hours with her Storyteller series. But as she grew up, her love of books diminished. Faced with selections like the Famous Five or the Railway Children, and combined with dyslexia, which went undiagnosed, Cat’s interest in reading languished.
In her early teens however, she discovered science fiction literature, staying up until 2:00 a.m. to finish reading her first science fiction novel. This re-ignited her love affair with reading, and Cat quickly recognised that she no longer needed to be trapped in the children’s section and she graduated to adult literature.
When she finally found an English teacher who was concerned just as much about literary content as she was about grammar and spelling, Cat’s love expanded to include writing. She composed many stories in notebooks but due to rather poor handwriting, most of these stories stayed confined to notebooks. When she was fifteen, Cat discovered computers, and she has never looked back. She wrote her first novel on the school computers and is tickled when she thinks of her teachers stumbling across that amateurish, premier effort.
When asked why she adores reading and writing so much, Cat’s answer is simple, “There have been some very dark and lonely times in my life and during those times reading was my lifeline. It allowed me to step out of my own head and into someone else’s world; somewhere I could forget my own problems, if only for a little while. When I discovered writing it was the same thing, except I could control the world I was in and manipulate it to my own desires.”
