IndieView with Victoria Lilienthal, author of The T Room
I got the idea for The T Room while studying archetypal symbols and myths with Cultural Anthropologist Angeles Arrien. A loose scenario for a funny romance novel about a fledgling healer with mystic tendencies popped into my head. I decided to set it in the New Age subculture of Northern California.

The actual idea, or at least the opening chapter, came from a dream I had about a dragon that was chasing me through my grandparent’s house, requiring me to rush through the house and shut off all the lights, because you know someone would get mad at me if I left the house with all the lights on …

IndieView with Kevin R. Doyle, author of And the Devil Walks Away
This work is by far the most complex I’ve ever done. It spans four or five states, as many police jurisdictions and crime scenes, and there’s a whole raft of secondary characters. Simply keeping everything straight was a chore …

IndieView with Eddy Boudel Tan, author of After Elias
I’ve always believed that character is formed through adversity. I put Coen in this devastating situation to see how he attempts to overcome it, and what he learns about himself along the way.
