IndieView with Sheri McLaughlin, author of Quantum Mercy

I spread out my notes, stretch out my fingers, turn on the computer and my lengthy playlist of fast-paced instrumental music. As I visualize what is occurring in each scene, I make my characters come to life.

IndieView with Jacqueline Friedland, author of The Stockwell Letters

Because I was following true historical events and wanted to stick to the actual timeline and chronology of what happened, I relied heavily on my outline.

IndieView with Jennifer Hamm, author of One Friday in Napa

Kelly and I ping-ponged for quite some time, and the idea of these characters and their setting was born. And I guess like bacon, everything is better with wine involved.

IndieView with Dagmar Rokita, author of Bloodstained Skies

In my opinion, every paragraph should perform even a simple function, and all fillers should be deleted.

IndieView with Tracy Carter, author of Dogged Pursuit

Every dog I have owned has been a rescue dog, some from very horrible situations. I love building up their confidence, getting them over their past, and then training them in obedience, rally, or agility. I also enjoy writing about Veronica and Leda, her Chesapeake Bay Retriever, out in the backcountry on search and rescue missions because it is quite fun to include a thrilling rescue!

IndieView with Leisl Kaberry, author of Journey of Destiny

My whole life I have been a bit of a story teller, from my earliest memories I recall sitting on a swing and telling myself stories and in high school my friends would do this thing with me (kind of a game I guess) where they would come up with a couple of items or words and then I would have to come up with a story from it while they would try to stump me… I don’t think they ever did though.

IndieView with Wendy Whitman, author of Retribution

I think my target audience is anyone who enjoys a good crime thriller and is into true crime in general. Although both my novels are fiction, I incorporated many real cases into the narratives through the protagonist’s point of view. This gave my novels a touch of realism.

IndieView with Akemi C Brodsky, author of The Brill Pill

The Brill Pill is loosely a science fiction story, however, to me it is more of a character study and I hope to find readers that are most interested in the human interactions that are fueled by the speculative backdrop.

IndieView with Lynn Slaughter, author of Missed Cue

Caitlin O’Connor is a flawed character who keeps getting involved in relationships with married men and finally gets into therapy to figure out why. I hope readers will empathize with her and root for her as she tries to get healthier while also solving a difficult case.
