My characters in this novel are the most fictional of any novel I’ve written. I’m personally a straight white male, and most of the characters in this book are none of the above.

Each chapter is bite-sized and not dependent upon reading any previous chapter.

IndieView with Nancy Christie, author of Moving Maggie
I had been making notes on possible storylines for my Midlife Moxie novels when I first came up with the idea of the series, since it was important that each story had its own unique conflict and situation that the main character had to deal with.

IndieView with Dan Schorr, author of Open Bar
I very much appreciated being able to share the inside, behind-the-scenes world of high-profile sexual misconduct investigations, as I wrote about the real challenges with these matters that are rarely talked about in public.

IndieView with Pat Black-Gould, coauthor of All the Broken Angels
The novel begins in the late 1950s and moves through the mid-1970s, a time when America was changing fast. The culture, the music, the Women’s Movement, the Vietnam War, and a country deeply divided.

People are not one-dimensional but shaped by the collective experiences that have a profound impact on their lives.

IndieView with Don Sawyer, author of The Tunnels of Buda
Both books wrestle with a fundamental question that has been very much on my mind over the last few years: “As a species, are we really so unevolved, that when facing existential challenges such as climate change we can only fall back on primitive and counterproductive responses such as tribalism, distrust of the Other, and a demand for simple answers to increasingly complex questions?” I find that truly troubling, and because it’s too depressing to believe we are indeed that limited, in my books I am suggesting there is more at work here …
