How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
A huge advantage of using Smashwords for my success is that they sell epub files to people in other countries outside the USA. One thing readers in other countries complain about is that there are not enough ebooks available for their types of ereaders. Having my books available on Smashwords is an entirely new market.
Plus, Smashwords makes it so easy to publish books on their platform with their Style Guide and Template. It's definitely a must for every author.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
My greatest joy of writing is expressing my sense of humor. Comedy was my initial intent when I started writing novels. But, I know readers what suspense too. So, I add some twists and turns to keep the story exciting.
Plus, the excitement of seeing your own work published. I’m not a big time seller—yet! But, I continue to persevere and I enjoy the writing, the marketing, and the social media. Everyone has been wonderful in the social media sector. I’m very encouraged.
