Playing Spider: Robin Recluse (Thrillers)

Robin RecluseRobin is a former CIA operative, (OK actually a former CIA telephone operator) who writes thrillers.  His first novel, I Didn't Spill the Beans, almost (according to Robin) could have been nominated for an award but the Agency stopped the nomination, as well as publication.

He has since published five thrilling novels with a nautical setting. He wants to be able to interact, to change information quickly and do it all without learning to be a programmer.

 

 



Robin's Website

robin screenshotRobin is a busy and prolific writer, he wanted something that could be set up quickly, suited to his work, and gave him the ability to blog and add new content instantly without programming changes. His logical technology of choice is a content management system (CMS). Robin chose phpWebsite (free Open Source from Appalachian State University) because they had a plug-and-play nautical theme available which suits his current series of books. This enabled him to get up and running in very little time, without any customizations to the theme (or 'skin') of the site. He could have used a content managment system such as Joomla! or Drupal just as easily (it might have taken a bit longer to find a suitable template).

Robin chose a Linux web hosting server but he could have installed his CMS (or another popular CMS called DotNetNuke) on a Windows hosting server as well. He registered the domain name RobinRecluse.com

Some recommedations:

  • Facebook account and fan page
  • LinkedIn account with memberships in nautical related groups

Robin's Books

Like all of our authors, Robin is a fictitious character and you can't really buy his books, but just for fun we thought we'd display some in a fictitious bookstore, click on a cover to see... because, of course, you will want to have real links to your works.
