Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I actually started back in 2014. The book "How To Grow Citrus Practically Anywhere" was going to be my first book, but then my work situation changed and it got hard to find time to write. Then, when it changed again, I had a chance to toy around and write Gardening Zone 8, the first three months. that was more of a dry run for future books.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I have been writing a blog for 8 or 9 years now and wanted to try and get the information that I am teaching out to a broader audience. It just seemed like a logical step.

Never a day goes by that I meet somebody that is definitely NOT from around here. They come into the nursery and either does not recognize a single plant or are just so overwhelmed by what they do see, they have no idea where to start. It really is fun to watch their eyes when I tell them that, yes, you can grow Citrus here, no Peonies do not, and Hostas will survive, but not necessarily thrive.
