Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I was seven years old, and being bullied at school. When I told my mum this, she said 'Why don't you write a story about having nice friends instead, or write about school the way you want it to happen?' So that was how I opened the door into my own internal world. I've pretty much stayed in there ever since.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I went through the submissions process from age 18 - I had great feedback, was asked for sequels, was strung along for a number of years - but all the while I learned that having a contract and a publisher would mean I'd have to meet certain expectations, and lose my creative spontaneity and freedom. The internet and the advent of self/indie publishing was the best thing that happened. I never know who's buying my books, just that it's fulfilling whatever a reader wants from a book at any one time, and that's very rewarding. I like the mystery of not knowing how or why people came to read any of my stuff.
