How do you discover the ebooks you read?
I read books that have been recommended to me with an edge going to books by self-published authors. I like to support the small time writers that are doing it all themselves over the big name, traditionally published authors. It's an exciting time because self-published no longer means the book lacks quality. I do have a few guilty pleasure books from the big names though.
When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
About 2 and a half years ago I was very sick for 6 months straight. I could barely leave my bed. I was bored out of my mind and could feel the depression creeping in. I started to write to pass the time. I fell in love with it but I thought my work was really really bad. I sent it to a friend who begged me to read it. She loved it and that gave me the confidence to show it to the person who would end up being my editor.
I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would publish a book, let alone more than one. It is a perfect example of something good coming out of the worst time of my life. I had never had anything that I was truly passionate about or was even the slightest bit good at. Suddenly, I couldn't envision doing anything else with my life.
