IndieView with Alex Miller, author of Osama bin Laden is Dead

OBLisDead Cover

He’s angry about the war in Iraq and prisoners of war being tortured. These are the kinds of issues that preoccupied me in the decade following 9/11. It was a period that changed the way I thought about myself in relation to my country. Writing the book was a way to channel my own anger into something else.

IndieView with Mia Grace, author of Correlation

Correlation  800 Cover Reveal and Promotional

 

I tend to start out with characters that I like and put them into an interesting situation. I don’t know how my stories are going to end, and therefore, I have to write the story in sequence.

IndieView with F. J. Schurr, author of Mustard Seed Baby Doll

MSBD FINAL COVER 3000

I suppose I would give the same very simple, very basic advice many others have given; stay true to what is in you. Otherwise, what do you have to offer that will be any different from anyone else?

IndieView with Christy Dorrity, author of Awakening

Awakening

 

I love having the freedom to have creative control over my own work, as well as the flexibility of my own deadlines. Besides, I would rather pursue an Indie career and get my work out to readers rather than play the lottery with the big publishers.

IndieView with Phillip Tomasso, author of Vaccination

This always, always sounds so cliché. A writer must write. Every day. Even if it is for a short period. A blog, or a poem.  A writer must read. Read everything in the genre they write in.

Allirea’s Realm, Coffee and Conversation with Imogen Rose

Allirea's Realm

 

In my continuing effort to suck as many friends as I can into “volunteering” for a role on one of my websites, we’ve got our first installment of what I hope will be a continuing series, with my friend Allirea sitting down over a cup of virtual java (possibly something stronger) and interrogating some of the indie authors she’s read and enjoyed. Here she takes aim at Imogen Rose, asking about her books with an emphasis on Rose’s most recent release, Uprising. Continue reading →

IndieView with Shay Festa of The Bookie Monster

Book Monster2

I’m a simple girl. I’m looking for a book to scare me into nightmares. Keep me on the edge of my seat and looking over my shoulder for the monsters that are surely coming for me.

IndieView with Andrea Bouchaud, author of Twenty in Paris

Twenty in Paris

 

I felt alone in my struggles so many times until I started to interact with other students who expressed similar difficulties. It was then that I realized I was not the odd woman out and that these issues need to be exposed to help future students understand the study abroad experience better.
