2026/06/16 💡️ Welcome to the New & Improved M.G. Martin Author Website!

It's official—I've leveled up the website!

It’s been on my “List of Many Things To Do” for far longer than it should’ve been. To be honest, I think my “List of Many Things To Do” is a cursed item. It never seems to get smaller. As I finish one thing, it seems like three more items get added!

In any case, I'm thrilled to finally announce the launch of the redesigned www.MGMartin.org. If you've been here before, you'll notice it's shinier, smoother, streamlined, and better organized. If this is your first visit, welcome!

Why the Redesign?

Honestly? I’m horrible at promotion and marketing (as I’ve admitted before), but even I knew the old site needed some love. I knew it when I first created it, but it was the best I could do at the time. I always wanted to make the site easier for you, dear readers and visitors, to explore the characters, lore, books, and all the things swirling about in my imagination. No more hunting around for things—now it’s all right there, beautifully laid out with a fresh look that captures the arcane and magical vibes of The Nexus.

• Interactive Character Pages: Choose the book then explore, click around, and get to know Kairee, Julien, Bryan Blackmane, and the rest of the characters in a whole new way. As Demonic Days matures, it will have its own character page, as will each upcoming book… just not for this initial release.
• Enhanced Book Sections: Deeper dives into Necromantic Nights, plus updates on Demonic Days (Book 2 is coming along!).
• World Lore & Inspirations: More background on the realms, magic systems, and other topics. You’ll see that the inspirations pages are gone for now, but I may add them back in the future in a differently designed format.
• The “Me Thinks” Blog: Same cozy corner for updates, ramblings, events, and behind-the-scenes peeks.
• “Echoes of the Nexus”: Quotes from the book on the Home Page.

I think it feels more like stepping into the world of The Nexus itself, but you tell me! Use the new Contact Form and let me know.

The Journey Was... Interesting

Like everything else in this writing life, it wasn’t without its hiccups. Without the help of O. Martin and his late nights wrestling with code, this site would never have launched, and if it did, it would have been a hot mess!

I did take programming courses back in the day and had done some HTML work years ago, but, as I learned (to my shame), I am the world’s worst proofreader. If I had to do this type of work for a living, my head would explode.

To make up for my lack of expertise, I first tried to use AI to code the site and that was… um… less than ideal. Even the AI would screw up its own code and fail to make updates in the CSS or HTML pages even though directed to do so. Having wasted far too much time between my own lack of knowledge and poor AI prompting (I’m sure someone with more software development experience would have avoided my mistakes), I turned to O. Martin, my only hope.

At least there’s someone in my life who knows what he’s doing as I certainly do not! He’s great. I like him A LOT!

Anyway, this redesign isn’t just cosmetic, it’s about making it simpler for you to connect with the stories and characters. Whether you’re a longtime supporter who’s already bought the book or a new visitor discovering the series, I hope you like it.

What’s Next?

I’m back to writing Demonic Days, with The Hoard of the Sea Witch and Appleburg simmering in the background. Expect more blog posts here (including panel recaps from Liberty Con if you missed them), story updates, and progress reports.

Thank you for sticking with me through this journey. Your support means the world (or should I say, The Nexus) to me. Wander the site, drop a comment, What do you think I should add or enhance? I’d love to hear from you!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got words to write and books to finish.

Thanks for visiting,

M.G. Martin
