Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in North Georgia. We moved around a lot because my father worked construction. I don't know how that influenced my writing now, unless it's because my mother always rode roughshod over my father.
What got you interested in writing in the first place?
I have always wanted to write. I started with children's books when I was very young, but never submitted anything for publication. I didn't know how to do that, for one thing, and all the private publishing companies wanted too much money up front. But now, thanks to Smashwords, getting published is a breeze! I wish they had been around 25 years ago!
