Adventures in Landing Pages

Drop in for a visit sometime....(bonus points for typos)

In Our Own Ink feels like home, but it’s not my “Home” page. Until recently, I had no home page because I had no website. I didn’t live online, though my books could be found on Amazon and once-in-a-while I’d pop up on LinkdIn. More recently, I’ve been hanging out in writers’ groups on Facebook and here on Substack. I may have posted once or twice on Instagram or Twitter. I tried BlueSky, but fled after a few failed attempts to locate what I was looking for.

But now, I have a landing pad! You can fly your helicopter or paraglider straight to my new author website (which links back her to In Our Own Ink in a nice closed loop). But first, a word of caution before you visit. Please repeat after me:

As a fan of In Our Own Ink and its author, I promise to judge it gently, knowing she started this project in a COVID-fevered, brain-fog state many months ago, forgot about it, and only revived it today.

I have no idea how I managed to create this logo, sign up with a hosting service, and get help from The Free Website Guys when I couldn’t even find my shoes.

TODAY, however, with Arj’s assistance (Bluehost helpdesk), the site is now live. A fledgling, but it has wings. If you browse the site, you'll find links to my three books; an author bio, and the working title of my memoir with a cool photo. There’s also a 404 Page-Not-Found page with a fun picture of former roommates. Look familiar? If you find a page featuring a Willa Cather quotation, please let me know! Bonus points if you find typos AND tell me about them!
