Smashwords Interview

What do your fans mean to you?

My fans mean everything to me. Without the fans who would I write for? Who would read me? I want to know every one of them. I want them to write to me and ask questions and learn from what I write. I don't just want them to read the book and go on their way. I want to know them, to help them if needed. To be their friend if they wish it. I am very much out there involved with lots of social media and very much enjoy it when those who have read my book or blog reach out to me. In my opinion if your fans aren't important then you're not doing your job as an entertainer, and in my case an educater.

What are you working on next?

I have successfully begun a monthly magazine called The Neighborhood News, and I am working on a second book called, The Raw Truth: Campbell's Rambles Book Two. It will be a follow-up to the first, and will be designed to answer questions not explained in Campbell's Rambles: How a Seeing Eye Dog Retrieved My Life. I also have a blog, called campbellsworld on Wordpress, and although I have some trouble accessing it, with the help of my editor I am able to share my challenges and triumphs. As well as help to educate the public all about those with multiple disAbilities.
