The basic content should include information about you, about your work, excerpts of your work, and how to contact you. A "media" page that offers information for journalists can be a valuable tool, as well.

Other related information is very good to have on a site -- do your books take place in a certain location? Do you have photos of that location that you took yourself? Can you recommend other sites about that place? Know of good places to eat? What readers want is to know more. More about you or your work or your hobbies or your characters… There should be some "readers' bonus" for coming to your site -- they should learn more about some aspect related to you or your books. You control how much to share, and we can help with these decisions.
