Smashwords Interview

When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I am a professor of theatre and film at a university in coastal Virginia. Teaching on the college level is more than a full time job so I have to squeak in time to write when I can.
How do you discover the ebooks you read?
Mostly I browse online resources like Smashwords, Nook, and Kindle. I also have a goodreads app on my ipad which helps me discover new titles because it links me to my friends so that I can see what they're reading. As I continue to explore the world online I find new outlets for my work all the time.
