              Revamping my website > check it out?

              Hi all.

              First, without any rambling... here is the current state of the site: http://timloram.me.uk/

              I still have a ton of work to do... basically the only pages that are *mostly* complete are the "homepage" and the "about me" page.

              I am (as we speak) knocking together the contact me page and reworking the text on the about me page... in preparation for sending out some job applications very shortly (need to find something by end of March)!

              Thoughts?

              (BTW feel free to try out the newsletter signup form at the bottom of every page... if you don't want to put in your real address just use something like "[email protected]".

              Cheers all.

                Just an update on how and where you can buy my eBooks:

                The Dinner Party (horror)
                The Apprentice (fantasy)
                Game Boy (gaming!)

                Previously, they were only available on Smashwords, which required registration, I think; but you can now also buy them direct from:

                iBooks (on your iPod Touch, Ipad or iPhone)
                Diesel
                (Sony) Reader estore
                Kobo

                End of self-publicising announcement... :-)

                      Hah. That period drama one...
                      Tescos are doing tampons in chocolate eggs at the moment. It's for the Easter period only.

                          Hello!

                          For the three people who read this thread :-), I've written another novel, and it's available now in ebook format. It's a science fiction story called MAX, and this is the promotional blurb:

                          "A dystopian society on the brink of revolution; a population chipped, regulated and drugged into submission; an overpopulated planet defined by the One Mother, One Child policy... Into this world a baby is born: a child with the power to change everything."

                          And here's the first review I've received for it on Smashwords (which is nice, because I only published it a couple of days ago):

                          "An imagined world which goes beyond Orwell and Wyndham, drawing inventively on the ways we sacrifice freedom for convenience. Are we already choosing to be controlled so we no longer need to think? By tearing off society’s sugar coating the author paints a future which is all about now. Incisive, intricate, chilling and moving. Highly recommended." (5 stars).

                          It's available in pretty much every format for every device going, including mobi (Kindle), epub (Stanza), lrf (Sony Reader), pdb (Palm), as well as PDF and rich text formats. You can buy it or download a sample here: http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/GordonHoughton

                          Also, to celebrate the release of MAX, all my other books on Smashwords are on sale at half price for one week! Use the following coupons:

                          The Dinner Party: GP88Q
                          The Apprentice: ZF63W
                          Game Boy: LQ28S

                          Cheers
                          Gordon

                            Sounds good. I'll give that a go soon as I've finished with this never-ending Stephen king book.

                              What happened to the old thread?

                              Anyway, I'm available for making websites (or any kind of development work really). Did this one for our very own Dogg Thang:



                              Note that I have no real creative skill though. All the artwork on the above site was already provided.
