How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
I just got all signed up with Smashwords, but they are giving me the opportunity to simplfy my marketing and advertising by helping me distribute to multiple platforms with several companies. This is a good thing!
What's the story behind your latest book?
The story behind the book is a pretty personal one. I'm just an average wife and mom who works part-time to help support my family. I was suffering from a disconnect in my life, as though I was just floating along without any direction. On the long drive to church one Sunday in late December, while I prayed about my lack of interest and emotion, I was reminded of the deep and abiding love of Jesus Christ. His love is beautiful and transforming. I didn't feel blase because anything bad was happening but because I wasn't taking time to spend with my savior, to refresh and restore my soul. My thoughts whirled along from there to this story and here we are. The Beauty Thief was my way of telling you that your beauty is not an outward appearance or any thing that you do. Life has no meaning apart from love, specifically the selfless and brotherly love of Christ that we can share with others. That's the story behind the book!
