IndieView with reviewer Jalyn of Jalyn Reads

Jalyn Reads

 

So I started writing reviews, and found out I loved it. For years, I collected reviews with nowhere to put them. It’s probably a good thing I didn’t start a blog right away, because my early reviews were awful. But I got better with practice, and when I discovered you don’t have to be a tech geek to have a blog, I started posting my reviews online.

My pet hate is the futile, never-ending cycle of self-promoting tweeting between Indie-Authors. Writers should be more creative and supportive of each other when approaching promo. Tweeting “here’s my book, buy it,” fifty times a day is like throwing adverts written on confetti and hoping one person in ten thousand reads it after picking it off their jacket; and that one person in a hundred thousand, follows the link to your book.

The Black Eclipse

 

If there is any advice I could give, it would be to never stop. Even if life gets in the way and you have to put your focus on important things like family, work, school. Please handle your business, but continue to work on your craft. It is hard, manual labor and serious time has to be invested to create something of quality.

I realized when I was writing my first book, Inheritance and Other Stories, which also dealt a lot with Southern Missouri, that rural areas have an underbelly that I know all too well. I thought the best way to document that underbelly were snapshots, and to me, that’s essentially what poems are.

Other than the two main characters who were completely cooked up in my head (and maybe taken from my own quirky personality at times) my characters were all based on someone I knew at the time. Loosely based, but they can see themselves in there, I think. We used to call each other by our character names at the bank. I miss those days…ok maybe I just miss the people.

IndieView with Chanda Stafford, author of First

First

 

As someone who loves reading all different types of literature, I suppose my target reader is a person like me. First has romance, a young adult main character, suspense, cool futuristic technology, and a moralistic dilemma: does anyone have the right to take another person’s life?

IndieView with Sawney Hatton, author of Dead Size

Dead Size 380X507

 

Genre-wise, Dead Size is many things: a dark comedy, a psychological fantasy, a murder mystery, a police thriller, a love story. In a word, it’s different. There’s something for everybody… while perhaps not being for everybody.

I have an ideal process … What usually happens is something a little different, because life often doesn’t let us achieve our ideals. But it’s very important to have goals, isn’t it?
