Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
Back in the early 1990s, I realized that unique experiences in my early years as a sales engineer, could be fictionalized as an interesting story. Being an optimist, I plunged in, not realizing that I didn't know how to write a novel.
After several drafts, and much research on "how to write, I finally finished "Politics . . . Louisiana Style."
What was your best review?
Just finished reading The Cruising Black Widow! What a kicker ending!
Sure hope they make a movie out of these! If not a movie - how about a TV series??
Really think the cruising should continue with some of these interesting characters!
Not ready to disembark! Joan M - South Texas
