This article from last year talks about the importance of authors having their own websites and how foolish it is to rely on your publisher to provide you with a website. At the very least you should have a bibliography and a page about yourself.
Contest to Win an Awesome Job.

I rather like when creative companies hold contests to find talent. It’s much better than letting HR sift through hundreds of resumes of spurious veracity.

Textnovel.com and Dorchester Romance Contest
Jun/090
TextNovel.com and Dorchester Romance are teaming up for a contest.
They’re asking for a total of 6,000 words in 500 word increments to be serialized on the internet and through cell phone browsers. The grand prize is $2,000 and a shot at publication through Dorchester. Definitely worth checking out and I hope to see more contests like this.
