At 19, Tommy Santalesa is far too good looking and having too much of a good time to realize that’s all about to change…for the worse. So when his lifelong friend, fellow band member and guitar virtuoso, Frank Balistrieri, vanishes on the eve of a lucrative record contract, Tommy figures he’s run off with a wealthy but flaky girlfriend and dismisses it. However, when Anne-Marie the one […]

An Interview with Author Thomas Drago

Thomas DragoTell us something about your book. The basics: what’s it about?
Queensboro is the follow-up novel to Crow Creek.  The story follows the search for a missing girl and ends with a biological experiment gone wrong.

How did you come to self-publish? Did you try to get published traditionally?  
Since I self-published Crow Creek, I figured I’d do the same with my second book.  I queried a couple of publishers and a few agents this time around.  I didn’t pitch the complete novel until after I had already self-published.

What self-publishing service did you use? Happy with the […]

An Interview With Author P. Wish

IMG_5767__1429614993_130.88.99.220Tell us something about your book. The basics: what’s it about?

My Life in 3 Colours is a picture book for adults. It is about Ella, a young girl who represents the child in all of us. The book follows Ella’s journey as she discovers the essence of being unique. It is a work that inspires all of us to bring out our inner child. I personally illustrated the book to make sure the illustrations were consistent with my idea and vision. The book is illustrated in a clumsy style so that everyone can relate to it and not be […]
