In addition to these sites, some authors’ personal sites are quite revealing, and their writers approachable. They allow you to read intimate biographies, see favorite pet photos, and exchange email directory with your favorite scribes.
In addition to the typical fare of bibliographies, some authors offer a little more online. Read the online journal of Neil Gaiman at www.AmericanGods.com. Gaiman's newest book won't be published until mid-June, but he's giving his fans, and anyone else interested in the process, a glimpse into how a book gets from his final version to the bookstore. Well worth checking out if you haven't seen it yet. Get Dennis Lehane’s appearance schedule for the next month from his website at www.Dennislehanebooks.com. Or click through to all of John Hielemann’s stories in wired and the New Yorker from his site (www. pridebeforethefall.com). In fact, it’s hard to think of an author who doesn’t have a site. And hard to find a site that doesn’t have its own special flavor. Stephen King pens letters to his fans at www.stephenking.com. Warren Adler (Warrenadler.com) offers free excerpts from almost all two dozen of his novels from his sitem, whereas Bram Stoker award winner Douglas Clegg offers entire free ebooks from www.douglasclegg.com. And I… well in addition to listening to my wired.com radio gigs on my site — you can also write me for a signed bookplate for any one of my novels and I’ll send it gratis. And by the way — thanks for dropping in. M.J.
