Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?

I have been writing in some form since high school.

What motivated you to become an indie author?

I love to write. Back in 2003 I join a writer's group at a local community college. We had a nice small group and critiqued each other's writing exercises. The two women who conducted it were excellent. At the end of the sessions, we all wrote a possible synopsis for a novel, but I never dreamed I would attempt it. The group challenged me to take my plot and do a novel. I did and have since written four novels, and am presently writing a fifth.
