Indieview with Tod Foley, editor of IPSEITIES

It’s a deliberately unsettling book, harshly realistic at times, deeply cryptic at others. These stories are designed to leave you staring into space and wondering.

IndieView with Harker Jones, author of Until September

IndieView with Christina Consolino, author of The Weight We Carry

My work is categorized as women’s fiction, which simply means that the focus of the narrative is the emotional journey of the protagonist. I tend to write character-driven fiction, too, so my target reader is one who enjoys learning about the characters and their thought, motivations, and desires.

We heard someone pounding on a drum set and decided it must be a kid who wanted to be a rock and roller. One of our neighbors always left all of their doors wide open, day and night, and we worried something bad could easily happen to them.

IndieView with KayCee Jones, author of The Black Magician

I haven’t always known the story of how black descendants were stolen from their land, to work as slaves in a land unknown to them. In fact, I was an adult when I first started to hear stories about how there were kings, queens, princesses, doctors, scientists, who were also taken along with other people. Growing up in Los Angeles, the school districts in Los Angeles and Compton did not teach us about our heritage as a black student.
