IndieView with Candy Ann, author of Love Lust and the Cold Hand of Suicide

Her words and thoughts that just flowed out onto paper, it was amazing, beautiful! So when I was grieving over my deceased stepfather, writing down my thoughts and feelings made me feel a lot better. Just to be able to get it all out made a huge difference!

IndieView with Mony de Panja, author of The illusion

The novel has a bit of paranormal, some earthly stuff, some life-philosophy, some play with words. So, it should satisfy those not hooked to a particular type of fantasy but looking for something different within the fantasy genre.

IndieView with Jeff Arch, author of Attachments

But the writers who influenced me the most, from the very beginning and still to this day, were the rock n roll poets: Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, John and Paul, Mick and Keith, Carole King, Robert Hunter and Bob Weir, Robbie Robertson and all the Band members he took credit from, Pete Townshend, Robert Lamm, Holland-Dozier-Holland from so many Motown songs—what they did with imagery, and brevity, how they could say so much using so few words.

IndieView with Julie Ryan McGue, author of Twice a Daughter

IndieView with E.F. Schraeder, author of Liar: Memoir of a Haunting

 

Rainey’s self-awareness and attraction to the genre was an engaging undercurrent to explore in Liar. That backdrop created a space for the book to acknowledge hauntings, horror, and related themes in that way made her a fun character to develop.

IndieView with J.A. Curtis, author of Lies of the Haven

The actual idea, or at least the opening chapter, came from a dream I had about a dragon that was chasing me through my grandparent’s house, requiring me to rush through the house and shut off all the lights, because you know someone would get mad at me if I left the house with all the lights on …

IndieView with SM Smyth, author of Save Our Ice

Imagine there’s another reason to reverse climate change, one which threatens to wipe out all the grown-ups in the world within a year.

IndieView with Lynda Faye Schmidt, author of The Healing

I knew I wanted to write a novel to share my insights with others, I just didn’t know what shape my story would take until years later.
