In the spirit of #IndieApril, here are my top 5 badasses who self-publish or own their indie publishing companies. These writers inspire me every day!

• Carrie Pulkinen (New Orleans Nocturnes series).

• Laura Brown (Matzah Ball Surprise series).

• Talia Hibbert (The Brown Sisters series).

• Penny Reid (Knitting in the City, Winston Brothers, Solving for Pie, Three Kings series).

• Lucy Score (By a Thread and Maggie Moves On).
