Novel Works is a simple blog that exposes some great reads by Indie Writers. All the books posted are here because I feel that you will greatly enjoy them. Some will be bargains and free. Others will be full priced, but none over $4.99. A few years ago, readers were engrossed in Indie books. Today, the publishing world has changed once again.
