Author Websites

Following up on the heels of my blog post on tags or labels noted, I wanted to create a new label category for posts with an "author website" linked to within.

This certainly doesn't mean that each site will be tremendously interesting as I know at least a few are there just to help sell the book and don't have much else on or from the author. On the flip side... I know there's also at least a few that have lots of content from the writer and should make for compelling reading.

It will of course be searchable via the tag cloud on the blog now that I've put this new lablel onto the given posts, but just for giggles, I've listed out below those authors I've reviewed who do have a site I linked to (with the site hyperlinked on his or her name and then the review post itself also linked):
