Website facelift

No, this blog is NOT about Valentine’s Day.  A blog title of Facelift has the potential of being very cruel on Valentine’s Day.

Reading today’s blog means that you are visiting my website www.rexowens.us.  Did you notice the difference?  Gone from the home page is the dark, out of perspective banner.  Gone is the blurry image of my article from the Writer magazine a few years back.

Here are a few things to notice on the home page.  In the upper left hand corner I have named the series ‘The Irish Trouble Series’.  The banner picture show in dramatic fashion the peace walls or peace lines in Belfast, Northern Ireland.  The center of the page displays the covers of the books in the series.  The bottom of the page is my Irish welcome to all of my website visitors and of course the various links.

All of the tabs have a new, single color banner and a lighter background to make it easier to read.  The Books tab is still under construction because I need to write the blurb for Dead Reckoning.  In June Henschel Haus publishing will re-issue Murphy’s Troubles and Out of Darkness with new book covers and interior design. 

The IRA History tab now includes a few introductory paragraphs to provide historical perspective on The Troubles.  The events page has been redesigned and now includes information of the presentations I can provide and information on my radio show ‘My World and Welcome to It’.  Of course, the events page will be populated with new information as I am scheduled for events throughout the year.
