Inspirational Indie Author Interview #23: Cozy Mystery Author Debbie Young Gives Back to the Indie Author Community

My guest this week is Debbie Young, and if you're an ALLi member, you already know her as a helpful presence on the members' facebook page or on our blog. But Debbie has gone through a long journey as a writer to get to a place where she can give back to the indie author community.

This is the story of how Debbie has traveled from early promise, to a detour writing promotional blurbs, to fulfilling her dream as an indie author of mysteries in the best of the British tradition.

Every week I interview a member of ALLi to talk about their writing and what inspires them, and why they are inspiring to other authors.
