Cathy Speight Joins Indies Unlimited!

Reviewer Cathy Speight

I am very pleased to announce that respected book reviewer Cathy Speight will be joining Indies Unlimited as a contributor. Cathy is a skilled and experienced book reviewer who has appeared here on the blog several times. I encourage you to visit Cathy’s blog, Cath ‘n’ Kindle to see some of her great and insightful work.

Her periodic features will treat you to some of her wit and wisdom and keep you current on some of the great indie books available out there.

Cathy’s presence will add yet another dimension to IU as we continue to grow to meet the challenges and needs of the Indie community. She is a great fit for this motley crew and we are all very excited about having her on board. On behalf of Kat, JD and myself,  we extend a warm welcome to Cathy Speight and invite all of you to do the same.

I am writing this under duress. Send help!

I always wanted to be a gun for hire.  So, when Stephen asked me to join him and my pal K.S. Brooks as a contributing author with the Indies Unlimited team, the decision was easy.  I strapped on my six-shooters.  And by six shooters, I mean pants.

It didn’t require any thought.  Stephen and Kat are good people.  I like to do the thing where my fingers make the words in my brain come out.  I like to have lots of outlets for my work: blogs, stories, music, novels, graffiti – you name it, I’ve done it (except for the graffiti part).
