The ORIGINAL Author Ring, started in 1996 by bestselling author Rebecca Sinclair, has re-established itself here on Ring Surf. All codes and graphics should be changed accordingly (see below).
For the convenience of old and new members, I've included the fragment of code necessary to get back into the Ring.
NOTE: This is NOT the rip-off ring on Yahoo using the same name and (illegally) the same graphic(s). THAT ring was stolen after many years of dedication and hard work.

Ring Rules & Requirements
× Author Ring sites must be either the home page of a published author, or a page set up by an author's publisher featuring that author or his/her book(s).
IMPORTANT:
Pages containing only Web Ring links are ***NOT***
accepted into the Author Ring - ***NO EXCEPTIONS~***
× The
Author Ring consists
of web pages for authors published in royalty-paying,
book-length fiction and non-fiction ONLY.
There are several Web Rings available
to unpublished and/or self- or vanity-press published authors
wishing
to share their writing, however the
Author Ring is
not one of them.
× Author Ring graphics must be downloaded or captured, saved to your server and pointed to there . Any case of graphics being pointed to the ones on eclectics.com and your site will be removed from the Author Ring. Bandwidth is limited.
× Electronically published authors
are eligible for inclusion in
the Author Ring provided the author has been published by a legitimate
electronic publisher and adheres to the guidelines of the Author Ring.
|| Posting unpublished/unbought writing on a Web page does not constitute electronic publishing. Having your work published
|| and available via a legitimate, royalty-paying electronic publisher does.
× Blogs podcasts and
webcasts are NOT included
at this time. If we have time, and if there is
an interest, in the future we may open a new Web Ring exclusively for
Author Ring authors'
blogs.
× Author group sites
are welcome provided the Author Ring code/graphics appear
on the group's main page.
Author pages within the main group are encouraged to apply separately
and have their own individual
Author Ring code/graphic.
× There are many Web
Rings available
for publishers; the
Author Ring is not one of them.
Note: Author Ring graphics MUST be downloaded and saved to YOUR SERVER and pointed to from there. The owner of any page with graphics pointing to those on eclectics.com's server will be warned once, then permanently removed from the Author Ring.
The Author Ring Code Fragment
At the end of these rules, there is a link to "join the author ring". Follow the link and sign up. You will then be provided with a fragment of code that must be added to your web page.
Below is a copy of the code you will receive once you have applied to join the Author Ring.
In order to make your Ring active you must "personalize" your code by making the following changes:
Change every incidence of CINNAMON (there are 7) to your own unique code #, supplied when you joined the Author Ring. Change every incidence of APPLE (there are 2) to the link where you've stored the Author Ring graphics ON YOUR SERVER. (Please save the graphics on your site and use them from there; due to limited bandwidth, anyone calling the graphics from eclectics.com will be removed from the Author Ring without warning.) Note: the word colors will not show up in your final code. YOUR NAME and YOUREMAIL@ADDRESS should be self-explanatory.
If you don't know how to grab the Author Ring graphics
from this page,
