a picture of a leatherbound notebook, a paper spiral book and a pencil all stacked on top of each other, across from text that reads 'author interview' above a graphic of old books and flowers, above text that reads 'indie book spotlight'. Below that is a small line with two hearts.


Introduce yourself!

I am Stacia Kaywood and I write historical romance set in Regency England and another series set at the end of World War II.

What’s the first book you remember reading?

Honestly, I wish I remembered the name of this series I read with my father when I was in elementary school. What I do remember was heading to the library to check out these books with horses. I think it was the experience of heading downtown with my father to check out the books that stays fresh ...

Introduce yourself!

Hello! I’m Sydney and I am an American romance author whose books contain little drama and a happily ever after guarantee. I’m originally from Phoenix, Arizona, but have since moved to Northern Colorado where I enjoy a lot more time outside. When I’m not writing you can usually find me hiking, baking, watching baseball, drinking hot chocolate, or hanging out with my family.

Author Interview with Ellie Yarde

a banner with a picture of an open book with pink pastries on its open pages, beside a cup of tea; which is across from text that reads 'author interview' over a picture of a stack of books with a rose on top, over text that reads 'indie book spotlight'


Introduce yourself!

Hi! My name is Ellie, I live in the UK, and spend most of my time inadvertently writing new stories in my mind. I work in a pub, and also have a horse, so I get to experience the best of both worlds – late nights, and early mornings! Not that I am much of an early bird, I definitely struggle to get out of bed! I read and write very late at night, after work, but do try to pop in online throughout the day – hence my somewhat scatty posts online!

What’s the first book...

Introduce yourself!

Hello, my name is Faith Jacobs, I’m a neurodivergent author, podcaster, audiodrama director, occasional voice actress, and a freelance historical researcher. Rather recently I was part of the research and development team for a Westend workshop of an upcoming musical known as Mozart: Her Story.

Author Interview with H. C. Helfand

a banner with a picture of a cup of tea and an open book on a table covered in flowers and petals, beside text that says 'author interview' which is over a drawing of a book with flowers, which is over text that reads 'indie book spotlight'

Introduce yourself!

I’m an American author who lives in Maryland. I worked as a lawyer and administrative law judge for many years, but have always considered myself a writer. Like many authors, I started writing stories, plays, and poems as a child and long aspired to make writing my career. Although I wrote hundreds of briefs and opinions in my legal work, they limited my opportunity for creativity. The upside, however, was being exposed to vast elements of human drama that stayed with ...

Introduce yourself!

Hello everyone! I’m A. M. Weald and I write adult character-driven fiction in a mix of genres from the romantic to the speculative, including contemporary romantic drama, contemporary low fantasy, and eventually apocalyptic science fiction, most of which has at least a romantic subplot. I’m an American living in southern France, and a semi-retired archaeologist who earns a living by freelancing as an academic editor.

Author Interview with Hûw Steer

a banner with a picture of an open book with a purple bunch of flowers in the middle, beside text that reads 'author interview', which is over a cartoon stack of books, which are over text that reads 'indie book spotlight'


Introduce yourself!

I’m Hûw – I’ve been writing sci-fi and fantasy for about a decade. I’m a historian – which helps with the fantasy and the sci-fi because I managed, somehow, to specialise in ancient Roman Star Trek – and I work for a children’s charity, which has led to me occasionally writing stories for them too.

Tell us what you’re currently reading!

I’m finishing off a reread of Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Shadows of the Apt series, which is one of my favourites – some of the best w...
