IndieView with Joseph Landing JR, author of Bobbit Rock

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World had a significant impact on my creativity. I think the nihilism in his novel carried through into Bobbit Rock.

IndieView with Maureen Stevenson, author of Ebony Eyes

Back then I use to read a lot of Patricia Cornwell novels; she writes murder mysteries. I had finished one of her books, cannot remember which one, and then Hailey Velck P.I. popped in my head and I began my writing.

IndieView with Colin Guest, author of Fatal Love

As I am now retired, I have plenty of time to write. However, I try and fit it in when my wife is busy doing what she likes doing, and in between our going out for a walk.

IndieView with Henry Hitz, author of Squirrels in the Wall

Sometimes I have to explain that writers are assholes: we steal the identities of people we know, and we twist them around to suit the narrative. To the people (not many) who strenuously object, I say you know, it’s an honor to be in my book.

IndieView with Eliza Wilde, author of Shock Value

I’m a down to earth person and don’t take myself too seriously. I’m the type of person that loves to laugh and love to make people laugh because laughter truly is the best medicine. I think that is why I have a lot of humor in my book. I didn’t want the tone to be serious. I wanted to give my readers an authentic view of myself and sense of humor.

IndieView with Tamara Mallimo, author of Magnolia Landing

Malayna is what my Mama raised me to be – strong and resilient. Many times, when my husband would be deployed overseas, I would hear “oh you’re so strong” or “I don’t know how you do it.” The truth is no one knows what they are truly capable of until being strong is the only choice they have.

IndieView with Grace Covill-Grennan, author of Blockhead

I grappled a lot with how to describe other people, what to expose or not, the ethics of that. I tried to be very matter-of-fact and just report what I had directly experienced, but I also wanted to be careful to not publish things that could be perceived as reinforcing messed up stereotypes about, for example, how working class men behave, and so on.

IndieView with Brent Robins, author of The Perfect Culture

It attempts to show how varied cultures are in terms of food, customs, etc. Satire is present throughout the novel to keep it entertaining.

IndieView with Catherine Fearns, author of Sound

When I’m not writing novels I’m a music journalist, so I’m fascinated by the ways that sounds can affect our emotional and physical health.

IndieView with Feyisayo Anjorin, author of The Night My Dead Girlfriend Called

I just thought about the way technology affects the way we mourn; the digital footprints left by a dead friend, lover, or relative. I explored a bit more, then the story was born.
