IndieView with Ailsa Keppie, author of By the Light of the Crescent Moon

I’d love to think my story could be inspirational to others going through a disorienting or hard time in their lives where they seemed to lose themselves.

IndieView with Sarah Kraft, author of Five Years Later

They say some authors’ heads are full of voices and people they’ve never met, and this is strangely accurate.

BookView with Lisa Beth Darling, author of The First Sin

I actually fought with myself over the idea of ‘going to hell’ if I wrote this book. Let’s just say it was a real bear but I think it came out well and I’m very glad it’s over.

IndieView with Golden November, author of The Characters of Milestoneville

My books have a sitcom-drama element to them. If the reader only likes a traditional book format, my books might feel different at first. However, once they get into character and find the flow of the book, they can’t put it down.

IndieView with Vicki Cody, author of Fly Safe

Once I got the rhythm of my chapters; narrative, a letter, and a journal entry the story unfolded so easily. So many times, while writing it, I had a sense that this story had been there just waiting for me to write it.

IndieView with Cheryl Grey Bostrom, author of Sugar Birds

IndieView with Janet Luongo, author of Rebellion, 1967: A Memoir

I struggled with how much to reveal of intimate moments, of impulsive moments that led to problems, which felt like mistakes. I tried not to explain, analyze or judge – myself or others – but simply tell the truth.

IndieView with Robin Murarka, author of Rone Isa

I write as a reader, and I get bored quickly as a reader. Accordingly, everything I write is lean, creative and purposeful so as to maximize stimulation.

IndieView with Susan Schoenberger, author of The Liability of Love

I don’t know of any writer who can claim a character is entirely fictitious. They have to be born out of your experience in some way, but I’ve learned from other writers to think of it like a blender. For each character, you throw in about a third of yourself, about a third of someone you know, and about a third specific characteristics that make the person come alive. Pulse until combined.
