Why Are Authors Encouraged To Have A Blog?
I’m not a blogger. I never dreamed of creating daily memes or tropes. Nor did I desire a website where users could reflect on current events, or share opinions about popular topics. I simply had a magical muse…stories lurking in the corners of m mind, begging to surface. My characters spoke to me. No…I didn’t hear voices, but I believe I was always meant to be a writer. From as far back as I can remember, stories fell from my lips. Writing books isn’t merely what I do…it’s who I am. So, how can I change my website to involve my readers. What would you love to discover about my muse?

Should I Create a New Website Or Breathe More Life Into This One?
I love the idea of my work…my writing… and my website reaching out to those who love to escape into imagination. Not to live there, but to find solace, inspiration, hope, desire, or a touch of magic to take the edge off the inevitable stress we all experience in everyday life. This passion for writing embraces wonderful what-ifs and whispers the mystery and endless possibilities that lives in the hearts of my readers.
My Uniqueness Is My Secret Weapon
My question––what do my readers want from my website? How can I create a platform to interact with them? The only thing I possess is the part of me that dreams…the wisp of magic that touches their hearts. So, my website will revolve around my mysterious muse. Snippets of my newest stories and questions to YOU, my readers, about what direction my storylines might take. This website can morph into an extension of me, my writing, my readers, my ideas, and my dreams. Some of my favorite supporters make up my ARC Angels, and they receive my stories first, before I publish my books. Sharing my research and collecting ideas from my wonderful team in my Secret Circle Book Club will help me know what you want to see in my writing…maybe I’ll create some polls with you input. And I’ll have secret sales, random giveaways, chats on my Casi McLean Books page. You might see some some book reviews and sales from some of my author friends, too.
