Eleven Hallard Press eBooks in Indie Florida

We are pleased to announce that ten Hallard Press authors have eleven eBooks available through participating Libraries. The Indie Author Project selected them to be listed in Indie Florida Books and Indie Connecticut Books.

This is quite an honor for our authors. Each of these books have been be vetted by industry editorial partners and regional library editorial boards. Being selected by these curators can lead to expanded discovery, distribution, and networking opportunities.

Our authors include:
