TESTIMONIALS
"For well over a decade Liam has been running my website completely effortlessly…at least for me. He actually designed it and then completely re-designed it when we felt it needed updating. I love everything he does."
Anthony Horowitz O.B.E. - Author
"I think it’s vital that authors have a little bit of the internet they can call their own, somewhere people can visit to find out more about them and their books. Working with Frequency on my own website, I learned a hell of a lot about what generates traffic and what doesn’t. Liam patiently answered my millions of idiot questions - and built a site that is simple and classic and, importantly, lots of fun to use. I’m thrilled to bits with it!"
Mark Hill - Author
"Couldn’t be happier with the process and the results. Liam is a through-and-through professional who brings his considerable talent and expertise to the process, who’s clear and prompt in his communications and who’s open to any suggestions. An absolute pleasure to work with…"

New author website for Victor Bahna.
Victor's debut novel "Heliacal Star" is set in the shadows between the worlds of horse racing and organised crime.
Raised just a few miles from Long Island’s Belmont Park racetrack, Victor Bahna fell in love with horse racing in high school. Upon winning a few dollars his first day at the races, he was instantly hooked on the excitement, adrenaline and beauty of the sport. A few decades later, after relocating to Seattle, Victor ventured into the realm of thoroughbred ownership and purchased his first racehorse at Emerald Downs, located near Seattle. Today, he owns two broodmares and manages a small racing partnership under the stable name of Royal Victory Thoroughbreds. His time on the backstretch with various professionals across the racing industry over the past two decades has brought him the joy of continuous learning while fostering a deep appreciation for the beauty, power and grace of the thoroughbred. Today he is a devoted advocate for racehorse welfare and longevity.
