IndieView with Shane Blackheart, author of Everything Is Wonderful Now

I have a disorder where I mostly experience nightmares, including night terrors, and at the time they had become frequent again. There’s a chunk of the book that deals with this in a creative way, but there were moments when I had to push through some of my worst fears to get to the end of the book.

IndieView with Roxana Arama, author of Extreme Vetting

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 Susen Edwards, author of What a Trip

I sat at my computer, tears streaming down my face, but I didn’t give up. I still cry each time I edit or reread that section.
