IndieView with Robert Steven Goldstein, author of Enemy Queen

All the characters in the book are unique, quirky, and lovably dysfunctional individuals. They became so real to me as I was writing, that their speech patterns and conversational perspectives just flowed out.

Reviewer IndieView with LizaRose of Theta Station

I think that the way in which we read is changing, ebooks and indie publishing make books more accessible to those who perhaps didn’t have access other than via a library in the past, and there are books on more diverse topics that speak to a wider range of people. So too, the increase of audio books has widened the time people can spend with a book. I think there is a bigger appetite for books than ever before and on more platforms.

IndieView with Marc Cavella, author of Tabernacle

I think readers who are looking for something a little off-kilter will enjoy this book. It’s a fast-paced dark comedy/crime story that will appeal to fans of the Coen Brothers, Ben Stiller, and similar artists.

IndieView with Robert Trebor, author of The Haircut Who Would Be King

The decision to write the book to alleviate the anger and nausea I felt about Trump’s election was easy. I also can adopt a somewhat natural comic look at terrible situations, the ability to laugh to keep from crying.

IndieView with Charles Souby, author of A View from the Borderline

I like editing but often, I might come back to a work I loved and decide it’s garbage and then return again and love it. Refining it is like sculpting in a sense and discovering deep levels of the story without (hopefully) making it become contrived.

IndieView with Gary M. Krebs, author of Little Miss of Darke County

This tiny nugget threw me for a major loop. Annie Oakley was one of the greatest heroes of her time. How is it no one knows of this story? Why has this never been told before?

BookView with Martin Roy Hill, author of The Fourth Rising

Writing a book of any kind is an exercise in self-discipline. Writers say every novel has a beginning, an end, and a muddle in between. Continuing to write when I’m in that muddle area is always difficult, and I always surprise myself when I keep going and get through it.

Reviewer Indieview with Ashley Hubbard of Books Beans & Botany

I have guilty pleasures like anyone else, but my “jam” is definitely non-fiction, diversity (both in content and authors), books set in a destination, horror, morbid topics (i.e. books about death), historical fiction, books written by female authors, books that have a “deeper” message about hot topic issues (i.e. abortion, race, etc), and so on.

IndieView with Joey Rodriguez, author of JQR

I had been looking for a way to write a sort of road trip-like story about a boy and his dog, and I thought using a robot and his dog could be a great way to explore artificial intelligence and how memories can be interpreted as well as explore the bonds between humans and animals, and humans and semi-inanimate objects.

Reviewer Indieview with Petra van der Ploeg

I still feel very strongly that most people who pick up a book of fiction want to be swept away into a story, whether it’s romance, adventure or even horror. It’s the same reason why we go see a movie or play a videogame. We want the experience.
