Ever wondered what it’s like going from indie publishing to traditional? Well, these authors have been there, done that and then some! Olivie Blake, Travis Baldree and Alexander Darwin join our Camp Counselor Stephen to talk about their books, writing journey and much more…

About Alexander Darwin

Alexander Darwin is an author living near Boston with his wife and three daughters. Outside of writing, he teaches and trains martial arts (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu). He's inspired by old-school Hong Kong action flicks, jRPGs, underdog stories and bibimbap bowls.

Outside of writing fiction, Alexander has written for publications such as Rolling Stone Magazine, Jiu Jitsu Style and SF Signal

About Olivie Blake

Olivie Blake, the pseudonym of Alexene Farol Follmuth, is a lover and writer of stories. She has penned several indie SFF projects, including the webtoon Clara and the Devil with illustrator Little Chmura and the BookTok-viral Atlas series. As Alexene, she has written the young adult rom-com My Mechanical Romance. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, new baby, and rescue pit bull.

About Stephen Haskins

Stephen puts the EVENT in events (and is not ashamed to state that publicly) as a publicist and events manager he’s always looking for his next exciting project…probably covered in glitter. Social: @MyBookishLife

About Travis Baldree

Travis Baldree is a full-time audiobook narrator who has lent his voice to hundreds of stories. Before that, he spent decades designing and building video games like Torchlight, Rebel Galaxy, and Fate. Apparently, he now also writes books. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his very patient family and their small, nervous dog. Legends & Lattes is his debut novel.
