Hello and welcome to Indie on Indie, a place where readers of indie books can share their favorite authors and indie authors can find new readers. Tell us a little about yourself. If you're having trouble, here are a few questions:

Are you a reader or a writer or both?
Who is your favorite indie author?
What is your favorite genre?
What is your favorite indie book of all time?

Hey all,

My name is Wofford Lee Jones and I am both a reader and a writer. I am considered indie (as I am self-published) but I like to just call my self an author. My favorite genre is horror, with a secondary favorite of thriller. I try to have both these elements in my writing, but I would say I writer horror with thriller overtones. The books I've written, in order, are Soul Dreams, Off the Beaten Path, and Hell Night in Hopewell. My fourth book is coming out later this year, These Bloody Game We Play. I don't think I can narrow it down to a favorite indie author, although I have probably read more indie works than traditional published books. And I don't think I have a favorite indie book, but I do have a few that blew me away either by shock factor (didn't see that coming), to "I had the best time reading that story", to endings that ripped me to shreds emotionally, to just damn good writing. Some of those books would be but not limited to: For Rye (Gavin Gardiner), The Nawie (Alex J. Knudsen), Satan's in Your Kitchen (Charlotte Zang), Photographs of October (M.K. Deppner), Irish Black and Freezer Burn (D. A. Schneider), Bones and Remains (Andrew Cull), Surviors and Hellsworld Hotel (Matthew Vaughn) and Echoes of the Past (Evan Bond).

Nice to meet you, Wofford ;) haha. Those are some great recommendations. I will have to get them added to our bookshelf! And thank you for that very kind shoutout.

Hello all! I’m Kimberly Davis Basso, I’m a writer and reader. I write humor and horror and am working on my third humor and second horror books respectively. I am a writing coach and former theater director and playwright, as well as a fight director. 2023 may see me back on stage. My full bio, event schedule and links are available on my website, and you can catch me interviewing authors over on IG.

As a reader, I appreciate writing craftsmanship and authors who have something to say. Stories that excel on multiple levels are always going to get me, my current favorite in this regard is The Only Good Indians. A24 is a favorite production studio.

I enjoy “discovering� new to me authors. I read all the genres, in a given month I’ll read a horror title, a classic, a memoir, listen to a non fic and finish up with some romance or YA and a thriller. Rarely meet a book I don’t like. I can be reached via my website kimberlydavisbasso.com or kdbassowrites at gmail and use @kdbwrites on all the socials.

Hello Kimberly! Very happy to have you here. I will make sure to get your books added to the group as well.

Hello! My name is Scott Donnelly. I am an indie author as well as reader. I don't have a favorite indie author or book, but I have enjoyed a ton of them. I think indie authors are vastly underrated and appreciated group of creators. Most of them don't get the credit they deserve.

My preferred genres to read and write in are horror, mystery and science fiction; a mixture of all three is incredible. I've written books about monsters: Mothman: Return to Point Pleasant, The Terror from Beyond the Void and Sea Devil (coming in March!). I've also written books about psycho slashers: Creepy Project, Cheater, Cheater and Killer Scarecrow. In addition to more of the 'grown-up' horror, I am also the creator of Micro Terrors: Scary Stories for Kids, a podcast that features a brand new, original scary story for kids every week! More info can be found at microterrors.com.

Thank you all for having me here! I look forward to getting to know you all and your work.

-Scott

Hey, Scott! So glad to have you here. I've got a bookshelf listed with some of your books already and I will be adding the rest shortly. Great to have you here. And I agree. Indie authors are vastly underrated and there are so many excellent writers out there in the indie world. I'm hoping this community will help them find more readers!
