“I was definitely apprehensive before the interview,” Hedgecock said. “My feelings were a mix of nervous energy and anticipation. I felt pressure to make sure I provided a good first impression.” After arriving and meeting with both Martin and Brennert, the group moved upstairs to a conference room on the second floor of the theater. “I asked Diane to take some posed pictures. One of which was with the two men seated in front of their latest books. Then, spontaneously, George looked at Alan and joked: ‘My book is bigger than your book.’ We all laughed and I knew I was going to enjoy the duration of the interview.” While…

The October Issue of B&P is Coming Soon! 90+ pages packed.
I know it’s a tease, but I am excited that the next issue is coming out. We’ve spent this year testing out different formats, hoping to have a standard print edition that would be readily (and affordably) available. As of now, that solution is still POD via Amazon. The quality is excellent, and I do not need to order huge quantities. The other thing we have focused on is readers and how they are reading the publication. Fancy layouts don’t work so well on an e-reader, and who wants to keep zooming in and out. So this issue is based upon a 6” x 9” which allows a decent print…
The June 2018 Issue is Ready For You!
Happy First Birthday to Books ‘N Pieces Magazine. [Update 5/20: We have altered the logo and removed BNP due to confusion in the UK with a disliked political party.
