Favorite authors bring you inside their workspaces in INSIDE FOR INDIES, a fundraiser for independent bookstores.
Christine Sneed is the author of Little Known Facts, Paris He Said and her latest, The Virginity of Famous Men. Here she will introduce you to the stuffed mascots that alternately encourage and discourage her.
The hilarious Rick Kaempfer, author of EVERY CUB EVER, shows us around his office and tries to hide the booze. (And I have never seen a Nativity snow globe like the one he has.)
Tom Dyja is the author of many novels and nonfiction books, the latest being THE THIRD COAST, about Chicago’s massive cultural impact from 1930 to 1960. Live TV, Playboy, McDonald’s, neo-Bauhaus, gospel music–they all started there. Tom’s one of the smartest guys I know.
Michael Zapata, a super mensch, teaches creative writing at Chicago’s School of the Art Institute and edits MAKE Magazine. His novel The Lost Book of Adana Moreau is the mesmerizing story of a Latin American science fiction writer and the lives her lost manuscript unites decades later in post-Katrina New Orleans.
Novelist Randy Richardson is one of the most ardent Cubs fans you will ever meet. He is also the founder and first president of the Chicago Writers Association and an ardent collector of bobbleheads. His choice for an inspiring passage? On Writing by Stephen King
Jeffrey Brown is the illustrator/author behind such smashes as Vader and Son, Jedi Academy, and One Upon a Space-Time. Here he shows us just how many pens he goes through, and how to protect yourself from an intrusive cat.
