Welcome to the second of our March interviews! We got to chat with R. Tim Morris, author of the oftentimes mind-melting speculative-fiction masterclass, This Never Happened.

We covered how to write about heavy topics, the importance of perspective, and much more!

"Contemporary speculative fiction that left us processing. We follow the story of Epic Small as he navigates life with a terminally ill father, where he feels out of place. Mental health takes center stage as we found ourselves questioning our identity and purpose. Why are we here? What's the point?"

Welcome to the first of our March interviews! We got to chat with D.C. Greschner, author of the incredibly hard-hitting yet satirical Sci-Fi adventure, Out of Tune.

We really dove deep into late-stage capitalism, inspirations, the naming process, and so much more!

"The social commentary we didn't know we needed. Out of Tune is rooted in truth, while remaining whimsical and original. We follow Linda Pumpernickel as she travels the galaxy in order to prevent its de-tuning and ultimate destruction. She and her friends find themselves fighting against the greed of big corporations... Sound familiar?"

All good things must come to an end!

For years we’ve been sharing our favorite indie authors with our subscribers, but unfortunately we have just sent out our very last boxes.

It’s been an honor to be part of this wonderful community. The reality is that supporting indie, just like supporting local and small businesses, is a privilege that many can’t afford right now. Times are hard and luxuries have to come last - we totally understand.

We hope we helped open your eyes to the beauty of indie and self-published stories, and although we’re no longer sending out book boxes, we’re not going anywhere! We’ll still be here reading indie, celebrating indie authors, and recommending/reviewing the best that we find - and without a page limit this time!

We’ll be supporting the indie community in new capacities in the future, and most importantly want to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who supported us along the way! You took a chance on us and we couldn’t be more grateful.

We’ll occasionally update our YouTube and social media channels with stories that caught our eye.

Keep reading outside the box,
Ryan and Steve

Also, we apologize, we can’t tag you all 🫶🏼
