On the cover. . .

On the cover of this month’s IndieNext list is WILD by Cheryl Strayed. In this memoir, the author vividly captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.

View from a bookseller

“The inspiring story of Strayed's solo journey on the Pacific Crest Trail snags you from the beginning and keeps you engaged the whole way through. . . The challenges, both external and internal, that she endures while on the trail are balanced with stories about her life leading up to her brave decision to hike alone for months in the rugged Western wilderness. This is a story of survival in every sense of the word, and one that will stick with you long after you finish reading.” -- Deborah Castorina, Waucoma Bookstore, Hood River, OR


Indie Next authors talk about their books...

Nick Harkaway talks about the what gave him the idea for his new novel, ANGELMAKER, about which Hannah Johnson-Breimeier from Next Chapter Bookstore writes, ". . . an escalating escapade into a world of mad scientists, a religious cult, secret agents, a death czar, covert government bureaucrats, swarms of golden bees, and gangsters galore. Angelmaker is an imaginative romp, another delightful story from the curious mind of Nick Harkaway.”

". . .The research is exhaustive, the observations pungent, and the characters, both real and imagined, distinctive. Enjoy the read, but beware the wrath of Mere Lessard!” - Bill Cusumano, Nicola's Books, Ann Arbor, MI

Listen to the NPR interview: Art, Mystery And Posh Pigments In 'Sacre Bleu'

“I dare you to read the first chapter of this book and then try to set it aside. . . Grace is a thriller, a heartbreaking account of bullying, and a beautiful story about an imperfect family and the love that must save them all.”
-- Cathy Allard, BayShore Books, Oconto, WI
