IndieView with Susan R. Greenway, author of Elephant Touch

As I cried, three elephants came up behind me from within a wooden corral. One elephant put its trunk on my shoulder, stunning me with its act of compassion. That’s where my story originated.

Bookview with Tom Maremaa, author of I, Michelangelo

And then right there, the character of Michelangelo D’Antoni emerged, almost full blown. He began to walk around our house from room to room, smiling and laughing a bit, and even accompanying my wife and I on our walks outside to catch a breath of fresh air. He seemed friendly and engaging, a decent fellow, with a lot on his mind. He also seemed to have a dark side. Once characters step inside your house, they almost become family and you begin to treat them as such.

IndieView with Aengie Scevity, author of The Owlbear and the Omens

I write the books I want to read and just hope other people will want to read them too. One of the aims behind The Owlbear and the Omens was to write a reverse harem where the arrangement was necessitated by politics rather than used as a tool for erotica.

IndieView with Gwen Suesse, author of Notes from Planet Widow

I knew instinctively what to do, where to look in my journals, how to organize the story of my journey in a way that might help others find solace as well as providing them with some practical ideas for coping with altered circumstances.

IndieView with Jane Seskin, author of Older, Wiser, Shorter

The target readers for this collection were people over 65, nearing 65 and their children and friends. It was to begin a dialogue on what aging was about for one woman and could this be a kind of universal thinking?

IndieView with Fish Nealman, author of The Esteban Book Series

The book series spawned from my desire to write about the human condition – including a lack of motivation, the unwelcome feeling of loneliness, the desire to do one’s best, and the nature of quid pro quo.

IndieView with Ryan Stevens, author of Sequins, Scandals & Salchows

This is very much a figure skating book for figure skating readers. If you are a casual fan who tunes in to watch figure skating in the Olympics once every four years, this probably isn’t the book for you.

IndieView with I.D., author of I Didn’t Mean to, But …

 

Ideas are everywhere around us, as long as you’re observant. Have you heard that before? Well, I’ve come to believe it’s true. I began writing this book with one idea—the theme of redemption and unpredictable repercussions of even the smallest choices.

IndieView with Anne Abel, author of Mattie, Milo, and Me

Every single sentence in this book is absolutely true. I sometimes say: why write fiction when real life is so varied and fascinating?

IndieView with Carl Parsons, author of Town and Country

After I read J. D. Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy, I realized as well that my stories about Appalachia served as a counterpoint to Vance’s memoir. Instead of his tough love story in which the survivor leaves the region, I’d written a series of stories in which the survivors stay put and make the best of what has happened to them. To be fair to J. D. Vance, however, my stories are generally set in the years before the opioid crisis hit the region.
