Interview with Novelist Alexandra Engellmann (Sky Ghosts series)

March 2016 Novel Winners

Watch the March 2016 Winning Novel Performance Readings. All novels read and performed by professional actors:

Interview with Novelist Karl Wiggins (Goodnight and Thanks for the Vodka)

One of the unusual aspects of the Harpies is that each novel is standalone but runs for exactly one year from the 1st January to the 31st December. Harpie is infuriating, funny, determined.

That’s a secret that I’ll take to my grave—but to me she is.

Interview with Novelist Russel Lazega (Managing Bubbie)

Managing Bubbie is Lazega’s first foray into creative nonfiction. When he is not writing, or chasing after a pair of fire-breathing, house-wrecking T. rexes impersonating small children, the author can be found kayaking the waterways of South Florida, venturing as far as the tide will take him from his loving, but indescribably overbearing, family.
