DeeJay Arens on WriteSpa’s BlogTalkRadio Show

DeeJay Arens-Indie AwardsThe room at the Harvard Club in New York City was crowded, hundreds of writers and their friends milling around, chatting, nibbling, greeting, and congratulating. We were all either winners, finalists, or connected with a winner or finalist at the Next Generation Indie Book Awards ceremony.

authorI knew not one person there, and although I was of course honored and glad to be part of the gathering, it felt a bit lonely! So I paused for a moment and glanced around the room.

My eyes met the eyes of a handsome young man who looked happy and at peace amid the bustle. I was drawn to him and introduced myself. He turned out to be DeeJay Arens, Indie Book Award winner of the GLBT novel The View From A Rusty Train Car. As we talked, his calm pleasure in the experience of being at the awards ceremony permeated me and I truly began to have fun. I met his friends, we discovered mutual friends, and I think before long we felt we had known each other a long time.
