Valeria's Last Stand

Author Marc Fitten has an effective and colorful site for his recently published book, "Valeria's Last Stand." The link is http://www.marcfitten.com/ - his book was recently sold all over the world, and in the U.S. to Bloomsbury, the same company who publishes Harry Potter, based in Great Britian and the U.S. So anyway, his budget was probably pretty high - but that said, the site keeps it simple and representitive of the book itself. The pages of a digital version of "Valeria's Last Stand" turn at the peruser's disposal. There is an excerpt, reading dates, press quotes, author biography, contant info, and a reader's guide - all within the pages of a virtual book, which flips to display the respective info. Everything works here, and most of all the excerpt portion, which is clear and easy to read and really gives the potential reader a good feel for things. This site makes you jealous as a writer because you want one for yourself just like it.
