Author Christopher Roe started writing seriously about five years ago. He has since released 44 volumes of poetry, along with a few other publications. Roe is well ahead of the self-publication curve, and his poems do a nice job of backing up the investment he put in himself. Roe has a fun writing style […]
It’s the realism of this story that I find so striking. Author E.A. Mann, in his debut novel, wrote something that could hit home with a lot of readers, as there is a focus on the struggles and thoughts we go through during everyday life. Some periods take more out of you than others, […]

There’s something comforting about hearing a soothing voice tell an entertaining story. Mark Binder is an author who understands this and uses it to his advantage, releasing an […]
