“When you have the creative fire burning inside you, sometimes you just don’t know what to do with it and it has to come out” ~ JP Cawood.
Self publishing can be a great way to get your ideas out there, but how do you even get started with a project as huge as this?
In this week’s interview, we talk to JP Cawood, author of Love From Mars - a romantic sci-fi/fantasy novel.
