The latest round of updates to mikestanfield-author.com is now complete, and I’m excited to share what that means for you. Over the past several days, the site has been shifting, tightening, and reshaping itself behind the scenes — all with one goal in mind: creating a smoother, faster, and more intuitive experience for every visitor who steps into the world of Surviving Adversity.

A Better Experience, Built for Readers

These updates weren’t cosmetic. They were structural — the kind of improvements you feel more than you see.

  • Pages load faster and respond more cleanly

  • Navigation is clearer, especially across the Books and Blog sections

  • The site adapts more gracefully to phones and tablets

  • The backend is now streamlined, allowing new content to roll out without friction

In short: the site now works the way it should — quietly, reliably, and without getting in your way.

Why This Matters

Stories deserve a home that respects the reader’s time and attention. These improvements make it easier to explore the series, follow updates, and stay connected as the world of Surviving Adversity continues to grow.

What’s Coming Next

This update isn’t the finish line — it’s the foundation.

Over the coming months, you’ll see:

  • Expanded showcases for each book in the series

  • More behind‑the‑scenes insights and progress updates

  • Additional resources for readers who want to dive deeper into the characters and world

  • Stronger integration with YouTube, social posts, and future announcements

Thank you for your patience while the work was underway. The site is stronger now — faster, cleaner, and ready for what comes next. And there’s a lot coming.
