Interview with Neil Dabb

Published 2016-10-06.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
The stories I write used to be novel length, but are now considered novella's, and the big publishers don't publish those length stories, so I decided to publish them myself.
How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
By giving me the tools to publish quality E books at an affordable price.
What are you working on next?
polishing the other stories in the various series I have written so that I can publish them, and I am working on a new series that is taking some interesting turns.
Who are your favorite authors?
Robert Heinlien, Larry Niven, and Alan Dean Foster
