And Someone New!

Dance

Hi everyone!  Nicole and I are thrilled to announce that James Garcia Jr has agreed to join the Something Wicked team!  As author of the brilliant ‘Dance on Fire’, we are thrilled to have him on board.  Because he is a fellow Vamplit author, we also feel that we are ‘keeping it in the family’, with him helping out with reviews while Nicole is away (and hoping he’ll hang around long after she comes back!).

While I am here, has anyone got any opinions about the new look of the blog?  I liked it, but my husband simply said, ‘why have you got birds flying over it?’ (He is not a horror fan and the significance of birds went completely over his head!)

Any feedback would be much appreciated – good or bad!

    I like the look of the blog. I also like that I do not get headaches when I see these birds!
    Thanks for the royal welcome, Marissa. My thanks to Nicole, too. I'm sorry that she is not here to welcome me, but I look forward to her return.
    Nicole, I'm only keeping your seat warm...but when you do come back, can I have a place to sit down? ;)

  3. PS -- love the birds on the blog, Marissa! Crows, ravens, cormorants -- all have been used to incredibly scary effect!

  5. The white type on black is hard to read. Just my two cents. I like the birds. Is it possible to change the black background to light gray or something?

    Welcome Jimmy!!
