IndieView with Aaron Arsenault, Author of The Academy

I’ve been in the climate-tech industry for 15 years. It came to me to write such content because I couldn’t find anything worthwhile to read to my own kids. I wanted to write something that was intentionally positive, something our kids don’t hear enough of as it relates to climate change.

IndieView with Don Silver, author of Scorched

I believe you can’t write well if you don’t read a lot and pay attention to what you read.

IndieView with Patti Eddington, author of The Girl with Three Birthdays

The story was so shocking and upsetting, I knew I had to try to investigate and find out what really had taken place at the beginning of my life.

IndieView with Norah Woodsey, author of The States

I came back to my Irish love story and saw that it was more like Persuasion, Jane Austen’s classic novel, than I had intended.

IndieView with Ellen Birkett Morris, author of Beware the Tall Grass

One example was a young boy who claimed to be a World War II fighter pilot killed at Iwo Jima and correctly named the plane, a friend who was killed, and the circumstances around the death. The idea of children with past life memories grabbed me and would not let go.

IndieView with Christina Bacilieri, author of The Last Refuge

The book is dedicated to my grandmother, Nancy, and so much of her lives in the kindness and strength of my characters. She taught me that it’s entirely possible to be fierce and compassionate at the same time, so I borrowed that piece of her to instill in my main character, Kiera.

IndieView with Maryann Lesert, author of Land Marks

I enjoyed the freedom of writing a novel, while remaining true to the spirit of the activism that may have, at least temporarily, significantly slowed the spread of fracking in Michigan.

IndieView with Janet A Wilson, author of All You’ll See is Sky

I struggled to know what to include as I experienced and witnessed so much. We witnessed the best of humankind and the worst.
