Free Excerpt and Author Interview: DV Berkom

I’m thrilled to kick the new year off on the website with someone who’s joined me here before and who has become both a friend and inspiration to me in this wild world of indie authors. I selected her most recent release, BAD TRAFFICK, as one of my top five must-read indies of 2012, and will be posting my full review of the novel here shortly. In the meantime, however, suffice to say that it’s an amazing read. It’s gritty, there’s strong language, there’s sex, and human trafficking is hardly...

Author Interview: Jeff Foltz

I’m both thrilled and honored to welcome author Jeff Foltz to the website today. I first met Jeff when we attended the University of Southern Maine/Stonecoast Creative Writing MFA together. I loved him then, and was thrilled to find when I returned to Maine a few years later, that he was living just two towns over and was looking for someone to fill an empty slot in his writing group. I happily joined up, and learned a tremendous amount from Jeff and the others in our group. In addition to be...

Book Review: Two Men Ten Suns, by Jeff Foltz

The new year is officially just a week away, and I’m very excited to be back on the scene with the blog once again! This week, things are a little different here because the featured author isn’t actually a man (or woman) of mystery, but rather a very gifted writer of historical fiction. His second novel, TWO MEN TEN SUNS, was released last month. Since that time, TWO MEN has already received an Honorable Mention in Fiction from the New England Book Festival and is getting great reviews from...
