One of my favorite aspects of writing a story is a rather anthropological one: deciding what beliefs my characters adhere to. In Industrialized, my characters follow Columbiana, a deity they don’t realize is something we know now as the Statue of Liberty. In Peace on Earth & Mercy Mild, my upcoming novel that will releaseContinue reading “Indie Author Spotlight: Jennifer J. Coldwater”

Have you ever found yourself buried deep in a book, resonating deeply with its story and characters, and then you stumble upon an author bio in the back that just blows your mind? If you haven’t had that experience yet, you will when you pick up one of Kristina León Cuvée’s books. This awesome authorContinue reading “Indie Author Spotlight: Kristina León Cuvée”

When it comes to haunting literature, nothing is quite as resonant as stories that deal with what happens after death. That’s right, I’m talking spooky stories about ghosts, vampires, and, you guessed it, zombies. Nobody knows zombies quite like James Tracy Wilson, an author whose debut, Zombie Bytes, digs into death (and near-death) in moreContinue reading “Indie Author Spotlight: James Tracy Wilson”

As a reader, I’ll dive into any book that interests me. I know many bookish folks online have a preferred genre, but truthfully, if a story is raw and resonant, I don’t care about genre. When I learned about Laura Rose’s I’m Not That Depressed: An honest account of (ill) health, something about the bookContinue reading “Indie Author Spotlight: Laura Rose”

One of my favorite moments in my professional writing career was working for a local newspaper. I had come from the world of backpack journalism — that is, I worked in a TV studio but also had to produce work for print mediums — and I just knew that writing was going to be theContinue reading “Indie Author Spotlight: Sara Puissegur”

There’s nothing that quite compares to exploring a world that exists beyond our own, and Emerson couldn’t agree more. Emerson is truly a future-facing author, utilizing a virtual persona to interact withContinue reading “Indie Author Spotlight: Emerson”

All too often, I believe there’s a stigma associated with indie authors. After all, traditional publishing has put a certain vision in readers’ heads about what success and storytelling look like. Despite this, there are indie authors writing voraciously every day, setting new standards, and capturing the hearts of readers. Nobody knows heart quite likeContinue reading “Indie Author Spotlight: Dr. Melissa Dymond”

Whenever people ask what I do for a living, I always struggle to summarize how I wear a million hats every day. I always say, “I’m a writer!” It’s easier than explaining that content marketing means I’m writing ad copy and ghostwriting articles for leadership, that my travel writing requires alignment with affiliate content calendarsContinue reading “Getting to Know Madeline Nixon”

I love sitting down and getting to know indie authors. When I was a reporter, I learned that everyone has a story to tell, even if they think their life is mundane and boring. Ironically, this seems to be especially true of authors… they weave incredible threads every single day, but they often overlook justContinue reading “Chatting with Harriet Ashford”
