The AuthorToday website was created as a site to showcase authors on the web. The goal is to provide authors with a page where they can not only let the world know they're published, but also let people know about their books and other places on the web where they are active/actively promoting themselves/their books.
The site is not "officially" live (will launch in early June - get your page NOW and lock in the $10 a year rate for life!), but is viewable at http://www.authortoday.com
I've built this site as a sort of "hobby site", a project site I can work on a few hours each day that gives me something to do without the pressure of feeling like I need to stay right at my computer all the time.
If you are an author and are interested in having a page on the site, details are available at http://www.authortoday.com/join.html .
