    In Step With Indiana Authors... Featuring an Interview With James Alexander Thom
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Wright, Elizabeth
    James Alexander Thom is a highly acclaimed, best-selling historical novelist whose works include Follow the River, From Sea to Shining Sea, and Panther in the Sky among many others. Born in 1933 in Gosport, Indiana, he now resides in the hill country outside Bloomington, Indiana, in a log cabin that he built with his own hands. He is married to Dark Rain, a member of the Shawnee National Tribe, of which Thom is an honorary member. Thom is a former Marine, newspaper man, and magazine editor. Contrary to what often happens with many aspiring writers, it was a rejection slip that actually bolstered his belief in his ability to be a writer.

    In Step With Indiana Authors... Featuring an Interview With Tony Perona
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2006) Wright, Elizabeth
    After seeing the photos of Tony Perona at his website, tonyperona.com, which I perused in preparation for this interview, I wondered which man I would be meeting. Would it be the clean-cut businessman in a conservative suit, or the mysterious sword-wielding man with the wry grin who came through the door at Starbucks that afternoon? It was neither. The Tony Perona I had the pleasure of meeting drove up in a minivan and bounded through the door with a warm, friendly smile. He looked like any active dad out running errands in suburban Indianapolis on the weekend and, in fact, was fresh off the slopes from skiing the previous day with his church group.
