It’s a great saying: ‘a well made flour sack stands on its own.‘ And the most perfect way to describe any good narrative. Dani More is a thriller/crime writer and here’s her take on the whole indie writing journey.
When I began Sherwood Ltd. I had no idea that Anne R. Allen’s inimitable fiction was based on fact. In fact, more fact than fiction. It’s hard to believe that any one could have had such an out-of -body experience in their writing life, but Anne did and lived to tell… and sell… the story!
There’s something unerringly familiar about Sarah’s epiphany. Who amongst us hasn’t burst into tears at the realisation there is another life, a dream that could become a reality if only the fairy godmother would wave her wand. The trouble is that the fairy godmother is actually hidden deep inside our own psyche. Sarah tells us her story, showing that is entirely possible to wave a wand and step out of the kitchen into a world we can only read about in books…

To say I wish I had her energy to enact those things in which she believes is an understatement. To say I wish I could have one more day with my children as children is a truth… read on and see what I mean.

One of my fellow Indies Chicks is a woman after my own heart. She’s a late bloomer… just like me. We’ve reached ‘a certain age’ and I think the whole age thing empowers you. You realise that there is so much yet to achieve and come hell or high water, you going to have a go at achieving it. Linda Welch says it’s …
