New Novelists Weave Stories into the Web

I know most authors have Web sites and many have blogs, but this is the first I've heard of authors creating Web sites associated with particular books.

NPR reports that several first-time novelists are doing this, including Marisha Pessl whose companion Web site for SPECIAL TOPICS IN CALAMITY PHYSICS is at Calamityphysics.com, and Charles Bock, author of BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN, who also has a Web site for his book.

Creating a Web site for each of your books could get burdensome for someone like Sue Grafton or Robert Parker, who have extensive backlists. But when your body of work consists of one book, I suppose it's manageable.
