I've been reading a lot recently about how important "branding" is to an author.
And, I really didn't have much more than a cute phrase "Making Mischief with Ericka Scott"
My original website was very erotic. . .but I don't write erotica, I write paranormal suspense with erotic elements. . . so, I started surfing the web last night. You know how that can be. I was looking for an image that I thought summed up "making mischief" and found lots of elf/pixie prints. Well, close, but not quite. Then I stumbled upon Enchanting Designs. The main picture took my breath away.
So, for many happy hours (instead of writing), I updated my website. I really like the look and feel of my new home(and the best part is it was a free template!).
Some of the pages (like the reviews where I have none, and the links) still need work. I've decided I want to do banner links if at all possible. So, over the next few weeks, I'll be scouting out banners and updating that page.
But, if you have a chance, take a peek, tell me what you think. Oh, and if you find a link that doesn't seem to work, let me know!

Ooh! there's nothing I like more than adding visuals to my blog. Yours looks SUPER! Have lots of fun tweaking. :)
I love the banner!

I like the new look!
I know, the branding thing sends me on a spin!
Love the pic up top there. I'll need to check out your new look website too.
And yep, I've got a banner that the lovely Emma Petersen made for me. So if you don't mind, I'll like to exchange that with you. I'm going to be changing up a few things on my website too and one of the things I want to include is a banner link thing.
Thanks. I'll need to get your email address... will find it on your new look website. ;)
I love what you did with the blog! :D Looks great!
This is a *fantastic* upgrade! I periodically get bit with the re-do bug, but haven't found anything I like in a long, long time, so things stay the same.
Maybe it's like Kelly's hair-apy, and when I reach a crossroads, I'll take the plunge.
Love the colors of the image! Great stuff!
Your blog and website look fab Ericka! Love it! And I love your tag line - making mischief, very cool. ;)
It looks great! And I soooo understand the desire to find the right 'look'! I've been there!
Also, thanks for your help with the trailers!

I like the banner, too!
It looks beautiful!
Very pretty! I like it. Expressing branding in the design is tough sometimes. I've been wanting to change my site to reflect that I do paranormal romantic suspense now as opposed to the straight romantic suspense I was doing before, but I haven't figured out the right thing yet.
