How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
Smashwords is a new platform for me and I have yet to measure its success. I have two published works on Amazon and Createspace and never considered any other platforms until I was asked by my readers to submit to Nook, Apple and Kobo. Only time will tell if Smashwords is the best platform to market my novels.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
The creativity of seeing my characters come to life on the pages. The way I have an idea of how my story will unfold and how my plot and characters alter and change that story in unexpected ways. Finally, it's really about the readers. There's no greater joy than to have someone who's read your work, contact you and tell you how much they enjoyed the book and can't wait to read more.
