IndieView with Eva Vernae, author of If Her Walls Could Talk
I felt like there were opportunities to make something happen in the book whereas it didn’t happen in real life or vice versa. No, there are no particular authors that have influenced how I write. If yes, what gets the fingers tapping? If Her Walls Could Talk is a fictitious biography/novel that tells a story […]
IndieView with Rosemary Hayward, author of Margaret Leaving
Not that the book is erudite or difficult, but I think you need to read all of it, and be prepared work at it, before you can appreciate it. About Writing Do you have a writing process? If so can you please describe it? Have a website and a Facebook presence. After the first draft […]

Reviewer IndieView with Desert Rose of Desert Rose Reviews
It is all about networking, though. Unsure of what books to start with, I found Goodreads, and made a to-be-read list from some groups I joined. It’s like tripping, for the mind. No matter how long the book is, if the plot doesn’t pull me in, it takes me longer to finish it. You have […]
Seller Q&A: RJM Autographs and Antiques
It may contain only a morsel of related information or a trove. It’s the perfect place to find a one-of-a-kind gift or the next treasure for your collection.

IndieView with Amber D. Tran, Author of Moon River
It happens to everyone. She was so helpful and insightful. I submitted my work to over 75 different agents. Nine-year-old Abigail Kavanagh first meets Ryan Mills during the summer of 1999. Was it a particular event or a gradual process? I currently live in Madison, Alabama. What would you like readers to know about you? […]
IndieView with John Jack O’Brien, author of re: the wasps
I sent it out to a bunch of agents and indie publishers and when I didn’t get the response I wanted, I figured that was the end. Hearing words distracts me from the words in my head. Do you have a marketing plan for the book or are you just winging it? I think sometimes […]

How the West was regulated – a Dodge City license for prostitution in 1876 Corral, but these documents were issued through the county assessor’s office so neither Earp nor his deputy Bat Masterson took part in the issuing of the document. The photograph of Laura also catches the eye. The license sold for $360. Laura […]
IndieView with Dominic Adler, author of The Saint Jude Rules
Cal Winter 4 is slowly gestating in my brain, while I’m re-writing a post-Apocalyptic detective thriller (set in Mordor South London). They run their own indie imprint, Thistle publishing. Winner of the Military Cross for Gallantry. Are your characters entirely fictitious or have you borrowed from real world people you know? I’m lucky, Thistle do […]

IndieView with J.D. Palmer, author of The Meek
I owe a lot of people beers. But I will say I enjoyed writing the action scenes the most. Are there any particular authors that have influenced how you write and, if so, how have they influenced you? Do you listen to music while you write? I don’t know why I thought that, but his […]
Booklovers descend on Olympia for London International Antiquarian Book Fair
I turned one corner and spotted these rare medical books, open to these beautiful if slightly gruesome illustrations Some of the most expensive books at the fair were atlases offered by Daniel Crouch Rare Books. It’s rather like the world’s largest lesson in book history. A Paradise Lost here, numerous James Bond first editions there, […]
