We Interrupt This Date

I learned today that L.C. Evans has passed away. It is with great sadness that I write this; taken much too early, rest in peace.

This is an interview I did with Linda a year ago. If you have a chance, please go to Amazon or where ever you can find L.C.’s books, and buy them.

Welcome to the IndieView

Welcome to the new site. Most of the things here are the same as the previous site, except added more functionality (and more on the way) for indie authors and readers.

For readers there will soon be a new section for Advanced Reader Copies (ARC’s) called ARC Angels. The idea behind that is you will sign up for genres you like and authors seeking early reviewers can send you their book.

More interviews, authors, reviewers (17 new reviewers in the queue) will be added over the coming days. Stay tuned.

IndieView with Debra Martin, co-author of, The Crystal Facade

Cover for The Crystal Facade“I write with my co-author, David W. Small, and it took us about one year to write the book. Between passing files back and forth during the writing portion and then extensive editing sessions, it takes us many months to completely finish a book.”
