Lily Byrne interviewed me at the end of October, and we talked about Lost in the Shadows, my background, my writing process, future projects, the … More Interviewed by Lily Byrne
For those who think Small Business Saturday doesn’t have much to do with them because there’s no way you’ll be caught shopping on a holiday weekend, or maybe there’s no small business around you that you’re excited to shop at…may I point out that shopping with small presses is also important. Not only do you … More Small Business Saturday Means Small Presses, Too
