A world readers can step into

Keep the homepage simple: one emotional hook, one clear book offer, one podcast entry point, and one email capture. The goal is discovery first — then deeper engagement.

Book

The main story stays central and premium. This is the core emotional experience and the primary conversion point.

Podcast

Use story-centered conversations to help people connect naturally with Arlo, Jerry, the family, and the world behind the book.

Funnel

Capture interest through the story, move visitors to email, then guide them toward the novel, updates, and future releases.

The story continues in conversation

The podcast should feel like an invitation into the world, not hard marketing. Keep it story-first.

Episode 1

Where the idea came from

A conversation about the spark behind the story, the emotional core, and how Arlo became the center of the world.

Episode 2

Who Arlo is

Explore Arlo as a character — not just a dinosaur, but a presence readers can care about and remember.

Episode 3

What if this really happened?

The mystery, the hidden ecosystem, and the big “what if” questions that pull readers deeper into the world.

Simple integrated funnel

Keep the flow clean and low-friction. No clutter. No over-explaining.
