Do I Need a Website / Vlog + Gabe's Guardian by Beverly Stowe McClure


Thank you for coming to a vlog edition of Write with Fey!

In this video, I discuss an important question that many writers ask "Do I need a website?"

This is a video from 2017, but still worth watching. :)

Enjoy!

Do I Need a Website?


Length: 7:46


Thanks for watching!

QUESTION: Do you have a website (separate from your blog)? Why or why not?

BOOK LINKS:




Gabe never asked for an angel…

Gabe Montana’s clumsy. He’s overweight, and he’s dyslexic. Worse yet, the bullies make his fifteen-year-old life even more miserable—so miserable he wants to die.

Charley, his guardian angel, says no to that idea, and comes up with a different plan. He’ll give Gabe self-confidence so he can solve his problems, not run away from them. But Gabe wonders why the angel doesn’t just help with the bullies. What’s with this self-confidence stuff?

Can Charley help Gabe stand on his own two feet? Will Gabe give up hope life can improve for him? Or will he finally listen to the angel’s advice?


PRAISE:

“An important read for young adults and their families.” - Donna McDine, multi-award winning author of stories for children

“It takes a tough subject and handles it in a positive, uplifting way. A must read for teens and tweens.” – Sandra Cox, author

“Gabe’s Guardian Angel is a good read for any youngster who has ever felt isolated and bullied.”– L.G. Keltner, author


ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Most of the time, you’ll find Beverly Stowe McClure at her computer, typing stories young voices whisper in her ears. When she’s not writing, she’s snapping pictures of wildlife, flowers and clouds. She’s sometimes known as the “Bug Lady.” She’s not telling why.

  1. That does make things easier. Mine are separate, but I'm okay with that. :)

    1. A blog is more than enough for a reviewer. :)

  3. I don't think my Etsy shop counts... No, I don't have a website. But I'm not a published writer. I figure if I ever get around to publishing (after I get around to finishing a novel), I will do a website. But first things first...

    2. Thank you, Yolanda. I hope the book can help children that are being bullied. I did a lot of research on this subject and was surprised to see how bad the situation is.

  6. Hi Chrys - great to know about ... we can adapt can't we. As you mention we can get ourselves organised at some stage ... and even if the website is there - we can put things up in a holding station ... while we get ready. All the best - excellent vlog post - cheers Hilary

  7. Great video, Chrys. As you know, I combine my blog with my website. So it's the active/live part of the website. I love it. I can't imagine not blogging as an Indie author.

  10. I think websites are very important. They showcase your work, and are great places to put resources for teachers and authors.

  11. What a great Vlog! Full of great tips. I have a website. I just redid the whole thing because I'll be offering life coaching soon. Well worth the overhaul to me. Have a great weekend and stay safe!

  12. I have a blog as you know, but when I publish I have a pen name so have to make a landing page for that. But I'm dithering around because I haven't sorted a few issues in my mind.
