BookView with Bentley Turner, author of The Agency

Many years ago I requested information about Project Blue Book from the United States Air Force. At the time, I read articles and books about UFOs. Although I had wanted to try to write a thriller about the federal government’s investigation into the subject, I put it off for decades …

IndieView with Victory Witherkeigh, author of The Girl

I hope I’m a reminder to those who are immigrants, orphans, lonely and seeking refuge while living in challenging times that some of us who live in darkness do so to sit beside you and spin tales to pass the time — a beacon to show you’re not alone.

IndieView with Emily Kemme, author of It Starts with a Fish

IndieView with Suzanne Parry, author of Lost Souls of Leningrad

I traveled to Leningrad in 1979 as a college student and the most moving and impactful part of that trip was a visit to the Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery where nearly 500,000 of the one million casualties of the siege of Leningrad are entombed.

Lenore Borja, author of The Last Huntress

When living in San Francisco, my husband discovered a linen closet hidden behind a mirror in our apartment. We’d lived there for over a year, never realizing the mirror was actually a door.

IndieView with M. Laszlo, author of The Phantom Glare of Day

The characters confront very difficult issues: school violence, abortion rights, euthanasia, homophobia, and political extremism. And one must be very SENSITIVE when addressing such topics.

IndieView with D.A. Mucci, author of Ignatius and the Battle at Dinas Affaraon

The medical community still hadn’t come to grips with how the virus was spread. I wanted to stay away from my family so I didn’t put them at risk, so my wife suggested I use my downtime to finish writing this book, escaping into a fantasy world I had created.
