IndieView with Linda Murphy Marshall, author of Ivy Lodge

IndieView with Ethan Avery, author of Sword & Sorcery: Frostfire

This is a project I started working on about 15 years ago alongside my good friend Lamont Turner who was working on his own fantasy novel at the time. We spent a good bit of time reading and re-reading each other’s stories and helping them improve.
