Smashwords Interview

What's the story behind your latest book?
Of all the dreams and nightmares that I've had over the years, one truly stands out in me. Just thinking about it still gives me a chill. It's one of those nightmares that begs to be shared. My kids occasionally ask me to tell them, again, about the dream. Mostly, I think, because they're trying to scare me.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I enjoy writing. At one time, I wanted to be a journalist. Being an indie author allows me to write on my own schedule, and my own topics.
