Over at the ROR blog I did a post asking what male readers really wanted in a book? Feel free to chip in with your comments. I am really interested.
Which brings me to, what do readers really want to see when they come to a web site like this? I’ve been around looking at other web sites and some authors have an amazing amount of material on their sites.
Maps? I have maps. I’m as obsessive as the next writer.
Character bios? Well, no. But I do have family trees so I can keep track of who everyone is and how they are related.
Interviews with characters as if they are real people? Well, um. No, you see they aren’t real, except within the framework of the book. And then they are completely real. Confusing? Makes perfect sense to me.
Pod casts? I find this interesting and would really like to try it. I’m certain I can fit one more thing in, if I can just learn how to go without sleep.
So, what do readers want to see when they come to this site?
