Caz, I have passed your website details onto my friend as she has given up work and is trying to make a go of making jewellery. I showed it to her and she's very impressed with your selections. Hopefully she'll be ordering from you soon!

Thanks Kaz, that's really kind of you :beer::beer::beer::beer:

No - on the grounds that a) my mother is never going to voluntarily pick up a book of erotic short stories and b) there's another, much better-known, writer of erotica and romance with the surname Fox, I'm being brave and using Caz Jones from now on.

And cazjones.co.uk and cazjones.com were free and now belong to me...

Are you going to use that website for your new sideline in erotica?

Well, as a general author site, yes Going to wait until I'm a little bit more established before putting anything on it though!

What would you put on it though?

A fan site would be difficult to build from scratch...!

Well, these sites belong to some of my writing friends and acquaintances, so something similar:

Sue Houghton: http://suenotts.tripod.com/
Kate Walker: http://www.kate-walker.com/
Portia da Costa: http://www.portiadacosta.com/
Kate Hewitt: http://www.kate-hewitt.com/
Victoria Blisse: http://www.victoriablisse.co.uk/

Basically these days, if you're trying to sell a novel to an agent or publisher, the first thing they're going to do is Google you and see if you have a website or a public profile on Facebook.

I just meant it would be difficult to have a fansite if (as far as you know) you don't have much of a fan base, or much of a body of work.

I like it when authors are active on their personal websites, Bernard Cornwell is a good example, he's always replying to quesetions on his boards, several from me!

Oh, I see what you mean, sorry That's why there's nothing on it, I'm going to wait until I've either had 7 or 8 shorts published by Xcite or I've managed to crack Harlequin I just saw it was available and thought I'd better nab it - carolinejones.com and caroline-jones.com are both owned by domain re-sellers and they want a small fortune for them.
