A Whole New Look for Words You Can Feel

Since the dawn of time…

Okay not really. Just since the dawn of my writing career. That career is only a wee 7 years old, but I think it’s like dog years or something. I feel like I’ve learned at least four lifetimes worth of stuff in those 7 years.

Let me start over.

Ahem

Since the dawn of my career, I’ve gone about every single area of my writing like it’s my passion, which it totally is! I mean OF COURSE it is.  I don’t know how people do this job when they’re NOT passionate about it. My tiny little brain can’t even fathom that.  Anyway, I digress.  Where was I?  Oh, right. My passion. Writing is definitely my passion! However, it’s also my business.  My livelihood.  My way to pay Amazon for the ridiculous amount of stuff that I order from them every month. I mean, really, how much stuff can I possibly need from there?  Well, turns out quite a bit. When it means I don’t have to go to the store…yep. Amazon it is.  Those lovely UPS men bring it right to my door so I don’t even have to wear pants to shop. I mean, I DO, of course. I’m not a completely weirdo.  ;)

Sorry, squirrel!  ANYway, since I write kind of all over the place–young adult, new adult, regular adult, contemporary, paranormal, suspense, women’s fiction, oh my!–I finally realized that I REALLLLY need to solidify my brand so that you know at a glance that you’re getting an M. Leighton book.  I want readers to know that, whatever the age or setting or issues of the characters, you’ll get page after page of WORDS YOU CAN FEEL.  *big, wide, happy smile*  See how I did that?  Popped my tagline right in there like a BOSS!  *pats self on back*  Oh and a special thanks to my amazing group of readers who helped me ferret that out.  

WORDS YOU CAN FEEL.  I just love it!  And since I have a new tag line and am closing in on what my brand looks like, I figured what better time than NOW to update my website so that you can come and easily find what you’re looking for.  It’s clean and modern with lots of black and white, but let’s not neglect the little splash of MICHELLE that I have to bring to pretty much every single thing within arm’s reach of me ever. That “M”!  That PINK!  That splash!  It’s so…ME!  Don’t you think? I look at it and I see professional and functional and easy to read, but then I see that M and that pink and I just smile.  I like to think that’s what I bring to my little corner of literature–some great romance (expected) with a little splash of Michelle (the unexpected).  

Clearly, I put way too much thought into this whole brand thing. LMAO Can you tell?  What can I say? I’m excitable.  

*starts singing Def Leppard.  again*

Okay, so have a look around.  I hope you find many pretties to OOOH and AAAH over.  I’ll be updating a whole bunch of my covers (indie covers that is) over the coming months, too, so be sure to stop back by and see what’s different. It’s allllllll coming together, y’all!  I can feel it!

Happy Hump Day!  I’ve got some words to write.  *melts away like a ghost*  ;)
