Russ Marrone

Author site rebuild

Homepage, with book covers as the hero visuals.

Overview

Russ is an author with a three-book supernatural-thriller series (Evangelina Warrior Angel) and a children's book, each with striking cover art that deserved to lead the design.

The brief

A clean, dramatic rebuild that treats the book covers as the hero visuals, with a dark, cinematic feel befitting the genre.

What I built

A fast static Next.js site: book showcase, author bio, and buy links, with a cohesive dark aesthetic and properly optimized imagery.

Mobile, responsive, fast, and legible.

Live link coming soon, once the new site's contact form ships.
