I’ve done some re-decorating here at my home on the web. Welcome!
My old site served me well and through it I have connected with so many of you. But it was time for a make-over, and besides, I wanted to make sure that I was accessible to those of you who come here to visit on your phones. Yes, JanePorter.com is now fully responsive — visit me here via your phone or your tablet, the site will now be as easy-to-read and easy-to-interact-with regardless of how you come here.
Why make this big change? Because I adore you all.
I loved my red site, and over the years I poured all kinds of content into it to help extend your reading experience with me. To be honest, I’d forgotten about some of the cool stuff I’d posted years ago to support so many of my books, classic romances and modern lit alike. It’s been like getting surprised with a This is Your Life party each time my webmistress asked me: “And what about this feature?” There is no way I could have gone through it all at once — fourteen years of Book Extras and cool photos and articles and videos… But as it was fed to me piece by piece, and I got to enjoy the content all over again, I got to thinking… And then it hit me: THROWBACK THURSDAYS!
Right now this new JanePorter.com features dedicated pages for only a handful of my books — just the most recent ones (and even for these, not everything is in place yet — the website is a work in progress, thanks for your patience!). If you go to my bookshelf, you’ll see them all, of course. But while some click over to excerpts for you to enjoy, many simply lead to the Kindle page on Amazon. With so many of my previously out-of-print books now available in eBook format, I didn’t want anyone to have to look that hard while Team Jane was working at converting all the wonderful old content into this new format. There’s a lot more coming, including longer excerpts, more international covers and links (because I know so many of you are coming here from outside of the English-speaking world), all that previously buried content, and then, here and there, I might be able to dig up something totally new.
These Throwback Thursdays won’t start up until after the holidays… But in the meantime, please head over to my bookshelf… Help me grow this new site. Please tell me which of my books that click over to Amazon and not yet to a JanePorter.com page you would like to see come back to your viewing enjoyment first? Leave the title below in a comment, and I’ll pick one commenter before December 1st to receive a fun package of some vintage promo swag from years gone by, a $10 Starbucks gift card, and a book, too, of course.
I hope you all enjoy the new site, and how easy it is to get around. Of course, as with any brand new site, there are bound to be hiccups — please don’t post those in the comments or on social networks, my web team doesn’t check there. But if you report errors via my site page, the web team can fix it quickly. I appreciate the assistance.
I’m really looking forward to lots of reader interaction here on the new JanePorter.com. Welcome!
OMG Jane! I love your new site! It’s so so pretty. Your #TBT plan sounds super!
I’d like to see Lazaro’s Revenge come back first. I’ve never read it (yet), but just the title sounds exciting!
All the ones I clicked went to Amazon.
Hi Denise,
I just tested the Bookshelf, I assure you that there are a lot of book covers that don’t click directly to amazon. For instance, all the Brennan Sisters covers go to a JanePorter.com page. But if you scroll down, to The Desert Kings, for instance, those books click directly to Amazon.

I LOVE the new look. Great job!
No problems found when I went there. I didn’t click on all the books to check it all out. But it does looks great!!
Love the new look and looking forward to #TBT posts!
The Good Wife
The Princess Brides books please – The Sultan’s Bought Bride & The Greek’s Royal Mistress.
Love the site Jane. I’d love to see In Dante’s Debt. Thanks for the chance. Your new site has a very calm and soothing welcome. 🙂

Wow Jane, I like this new look so very much. So bright and easy to read and just lovely all around….like you! My favorite JP book still remains Easy On The Eyes, because I just fell in love with the two main characters, but I do really like your Tule Publishing books, too! So happy for your exciting changes. Hope you and your family have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
I believe I clicked every single one from your bookshelf, there are some that goes right on the Amazaon and the ones that you have to click extra to get on Amazon. But being a paperback lover I noticed that TAKE ME, COWBOY and THE TYCOON’S KISS arent available in papaerback only as an ebook. And I’m missing The Kidnapped Christmas Bride, too!
I have to add that I love your new blog look 🙂
Sorry for the typing mistakes… I’m too quick :/
Definitely The Good Wife. (:
A wonderful new site which is delightful and special. Your new Tule books are always appealing and my favorites.
Love the new site! Gorgeous!
The Latin Lover’s Secret Child heads straight to Amazon….
Happy Thanksgiving, all!
Love the new site, beautiful! Taken by the Highest Bidder.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
The new site is beautiful – just like you! I love TBT posts – wish I had a library to choose from.
I love the new look. I loved theBellevue wives. Especially Odd Mom Out. It doesn’t go to Amazon.
It appears as if you are working your way up from the bottom of the list. Everything from The Desert Kings series down links directly to Amazon. The ones above don’t.
I love the idea of throwback thursdays. I ckecked out some of your titles, and like others said, some go to your website, some to amason. I am more of a contemporary romance, rather than classic, so the ones I looked at went to your site. In fact,I found one I really was interested in and had to buy it. The Frog Prince, it felt so much like I was reading about my own life in my 20’s, lol.
Lazaro’s Revenge is one of them that only went to Amazon.
Would love to see The Italian’s Virgin Princess come back….
all the Brennan sisters’ books; The Good Wife especially! love the new website and your bookshelf, too!
I love this site its so pretty and i dont see any problems seems They all click there just fine and i love all of your books!
it’s clean and easy to navigate. love the new website.
I don’t see a winner listed. Am I missing it. 🙂
