Interview:

1.  Paperback, hardback, audiobook?

To be perfectly honest, I read most books in ebook format these days. It allows me to carry multiple books at once, ready anywhere I like, and make notes in the text. It’s the perfect solution for a person that’s always on the go. That said, I do have a small collection of paperbacks at home, that I am slowly adding to.

2021 in Review: Indie Books, Author Interviews & More!

I started Indie Book Spotlight about a year ago in an effort to find other authors and connect with them, and the result has been wonderful! I’m stunned by the reception of the page, and so utterly grateful to everyone who’s helped boost the reviews and writer’s lifts and pinned reposts, etc. There is such lovely community spirit in the #WritingCommunity on Twitter, so for anyone hesitating joining, I definitely recommend it.

It’s fabulous to be able to boost indie voices in a way that’s...

Show Review: Panic (2021)

I started this review in *checks notes* the summer? And then it ended up in my drafts and I totally forgot to post it. BUT that shouldn’t be indicative of my love of this show, because I did seriously enjoy it. And you know, I actually think it ended pretty much without a cliff hanger, so I’m not mad about the lack of a season two as such, because as much as I wanted more of these characters, I think the ending we got was good and more might have taken that away, so yeah. I think this is a r...

Interview:

Paperback, hardback, audiobook?

I only listen to audiobooks these days. I’m the opposite of those people who tell you that they need to feel a real book in their hands, or they love the smell of paper. I need to feel a book in my ears, and I love the smell of, well, lots of things that aren’t paper.

Pick a genre, any genre!

I’ve been avoiding doing that for nearly ten years, but Kindle Direct Publishing insi...

Author Interview: Mansur Hasib

Check out the Bring Inner Greatness Out: Personal Brand audiobook!

1.      Paperback, hardback, audiobook?

I enjoy well narrated audiobooks in the author’s voice. That way I feel the author is personally sharing the story and their passion to me. However, I know readers have their preferences. So, as an author, I have produced ebooks, paperback (black and white and color), hardback (full color), and audiobook versions of my main books. My ebooks also have hyperlinks, which provide a riche...

Author Interview: Val Neil

Check out the first Fall of Magic book, Dark Apprentice, on Goodreads!

1.      Paperback, hardback, audiobook?

If you’re asking what I prefer as a reader, ebook! Dark Apprentice is currently available in paperback and hardback. The audiobook will release next year. I sprang for duet narration (M/F narrators within the same scene) and I’m super excited about it. You rarely see duet outside of romance. 

2.      Pick a genre, any genre!

Fantasy is my fave.

Interview:

Paperback, hardback, audiobook?

Well, since I am self-published and with very little hold on the market so far, it’s all electronic.  Until I feel confident enough of my status in the writing world, I don’t much want to mess about with ISBNs and any complexities there might be to ‘print on demand’ or Audiobooks.

Pick a genre, any genre!

A few years ago I would have put ‘SF’ and very little else.  But the world moves on, Spac...

Indie Books Are Beautiful: Cover Love

I feel like indie book covers don’t get enough love, so I’ve compiled a few of the ones on my tbr that I think have super groovy covers. (FYI: this is by no means a complete list!!)

I’m currently reading the first couple of these books (The 13th Zodiac and Dim Stars) and am greatly enjoying them, and I wholeheartedly encourage you to check out any of these books if the covers entice you!

Aren’t they...
