Indies Unlimited Adds Laurie Boris to the Team!

Author Laurie Boris

We are very pleased to announce that Indies Unlimited has added the multi-talented  Laurie Boris to the staff. She is a freelance writer, editor, proofreader, and former graphic designer with a long history of ignoring housework and pots on the stove to sneak in “just a few more pages” of her novels. She has had her short fiction published in small magazines and on the Web. Her first novel, The Joke’s on Me, was published through small press 4RV Publishing, LLC in 2011. Her second, Drawing Breath, will be self-published soon. A genre-bender and a lover of the character-driven story, Laurie plans to continue writing more tragicomic sagas, some darker than others. I expect she’ll draw plenty of inspiration from her experience here.

When not playing with the universe of imaginary people in her head, she enjoys baseball, cooking, reading, and helping aspiring novelists. She lives in New York’s lovely Hudson Valley with her very patient husband, Paul Blumstein, a commercial illustrator.

Yvonne Hertzberger Joins Staff of Indies Unlimited

Author Yvonne Hertzberger

We are pleased to announce that author Yvonne Hertzberger is joining the staff of Indies Unlimited as a regular contributing author.

Yvonne is a native of the Netherlands who immigrated to Canada. She calls herself a Jill-of-all-trades. That should come in handy around this joint.

Her many past paid jobs included banking, day care, residential care for challenged children, hairdressing, retail, and customer service. She enjoys gardening, singing, the theater, decorating and socializing with friends and family.

She is a graduate of The University of Waterloo, first with a B.A. in psychology, then and Hon. B.A. Sociology and stopped just shy of an M.A. in Sociology. Again, I see this coming in handy.

For more information, check out Yvonne’s excellent website and/or blog at: http://www.yvonnehertzberger.com

Please join us in extending a warm welcome to the wonderful Yvonne Hertzberger.

Following Your Passion

Author L.A. Lewandowski

I don’t want to introduce myself by being trite or speaking in clichés. But in reading the previous introductory posts of my fellow writers here on Indies Unlimited one thing is very apparent: we’ve all pursued writing as a passion or maybe even as the great love of our lives. And in the case of Indies Unlimited, I feel as if I’ve been given a Golden Ticket, a la Willy Wonka. Thank you Stephen Hise for the generous opportunity.

For me, the knowledge that I was a writer was not as innate as some of my contemporaries. I did have passions, starting with my desire to be a professional ballet dancer. Realizing I wasn’t good enough to feed myself caused a stunning bipolar reaction: why not become an attorney instead? That didn’t work out either. Law school is grueling not to mention expensive and I was already supporting myself and soon to be married. Second passion down the drain. Continue reading “Following Your Passion”
