Welcome!

Posted in DAW, Queen of the Dead, Miscellaneous.

This is my new home on the web.

It has, among other things, a home page — which is largely meant for people who surf by and want infor­ma­tion, rather than inter­ac­tion. I couldn’t actu­ally figure out how to transfer the blog subscriber list from the word​press​.com blog to this one, so if you want to continue to get email alerts when a new post goes up, you’ll need to subscribe here.

I have a new Face­book page — which is on the sidebar.

I have a Tumblr account which I’ve never really used, and I’m consid­ering using it for ques­tions & answers — as in, I’ll answer ques­tions there if they’re asked. I’ll also continue to answer ques­tions here.

I have a new email address: michelle@​michellesagara.​com.

And I have a new book, due on the first of May. The first chapter (well, prologue and the first two chap­ters) is avail­able here: Silence preview.

    Congrats on the great looking website. Will you post a little some­thing to your blog over the next week or so to help those of us moving over the Word­Press blog make sure we are connected? Love your blogs and would not want to miss anything:)

    I like it and I’m prac­ti­cally the living defi­n­i­tion of impartial.

    I did not notice that the comments required moder­a­tion if at least one previous comment hadn’t been approved >.. It’s fixed now, sorry!

    Congrat­u­la­tions! Why isn’t there a photo gallery where we can post, um, pictures we take of your books in the wild?

    Only twenty-nine pages? I thought a prologue and two chap­ters would be at least 100 pages. I look forward to getting the book and enjoying.

    The new website looks wonderful!

    (I’m mostly commenting to get back on the noti­fi­ca­tion list, but it really does look great. : ) )

    Lovely new site!!

    Will you be having RSS from the new site as well? I currently follow via that method, and would like to update my reader accordingly… :)

    Looks good.

    I am really waiting for both Cast in Peril and the next House War Book. Will the world press site go away?

    Hi Sora,

    Thanks for mentioning this — I didn’t notice the links for these feeds weren’t included anymore. I’ve added them in the sidebar now, so subscribe away! Let me know if you need more specific feeds and I can dig them up for you.

    It looks wonderful, Michelle! Congrat­u­la­tions. I’m curious to know what Sarah used for this blog if it’s not WordPress.

    It’s Word­Press! It’s a little customized though in terms of functionality.

    Love the new site. And I’m excited to see you on tumblr. I like the idea of a Q & A. I always love places where I can ask ques­tions about my fav char­ac­ters and writing processes.

    Your new website is looking great! Congrats on this page and the shiny new Face­book page as well!

    I like the overall format, every­thing seems easy to find.

    I also wanted to mention (along with many of your other fans) that unlike your editor, I am wildly happy to hear that there will be 2 more House War books instead of only one! I read very quickly, and so few authors publish weighty tomes that take me longer than a single day to read. =)

    Awesome!! Thank you so much! :D

    Nice! Love the font. Hard to select text on an iPad though — e.g. Your new email address. Maybe make it a link?

    Really like the new site and the face­book page. Can’t quite figure out tumblr if you should use it for Q&A — keep getting “request denied.”

  19. Michael says:

    Very nice! I admit that I am not as big a fan of the front page (I would rather it just open to your blog) but I can under­stand why that is an impor­tant feature.

    Really looking forward to Silence! I suppose if I can’t have Battle (or War), then it is the next best thing!

  20. Michael says:
    April 21, 2012 at 9:39 pm

    Oh, and I think there is a problem with the chap­ters of Silence you uploaded. Were you aware that it only goes to page 29? Clearly an oversight…

    Looks good. Happy writing.

    Love the new look. Can’t wait to read Silence.

    Cast in Peril is a 25 September 2012 release, and the next House War book is a January 2013 release. The old word­press site will not go away, but it won’t be updated. All of the posts made their have been trans­ferred to the new site.

  24. michelle says:

    As Sarah said, it’s a word­press install, but I think “slightly” customized is a minor understatement. 

    And all of the work is hers; I believe I could teach myself how to set up html but I am in no way compe­tent to handle any of the graphic design.

  25. michelle says:

    It’s a link on the “About the Author” page, if that helps >.>

  26. michelle says:
    April 22, 2012 at 6:09 pm

    I think it’s working now. Or at least I could ask myself ques­tions anony­mously, now.

  27. michelle says:
    April 22, 2012 at 6:10 pm

    :P

    (I’m not a fan of front pages, but usually just bookmark/RSS blogs. But people who don’t actu­ally want to read blog posts, but just want infor­ma­tion, prob­ably don’t find the blog page as imme­di­ately helpful.)

    Like your new website. I’m not very apt with these websites. I found going through Word Press very easy to find infor­ma­tion. Need to explore it fully to find the way around.

    Hah, I didn’t see the preview of this before getting a noti­fi­ca­tion about this post on GoodReads. So some­times GR is really useful.

    Thanks for the excerpt!

    Love the look of this new site. It seems to be a lot easier on my eyes (liter­ally and figu­ra­tively). I see that your Live Journal is still up and a link is provided here. However, it hasn’t been updated since, forever. Will you even­tu­ally be taking it down? Just wondering if I can delete another bookmark. :)
    My local B & N has failed me on Silence. I still do not have it. .
