It's Indie April, Bookcasters!

Hey there Reader,

As you know, we are all about indies here at the Bookcast. So for Indie April, here are some indie presses, bookstores, and books you need to know!

Indie Presses: Oklahoma is home to some fantastic small presses putting out great work from authors worth reading. Here are just a few:

Indie Bookstores: I'm not sure we can fully appreciate what a gift it is that Oklahoma has so many incredible independent bookstores across the state. The current list at okiebookcast.com/bookstores includes 34 stores - find one near you!

Indie Books: Here's a recent video rundown from me of 9 indie books I've read in the past few months. Something for everyone!
