Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I first started writing in the ninth grade. I used to go into the woods near my house, climb up in a tree and sit for some time imagining different scenarios. I had three younger sisters at the time and shared a bedroom, so I went where I could find peace and quiet.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
It was too difficult to get anything published, being a new author with no track record. As an indie author, I had so much more control over cover design, title,content, etc. My books are also out there longer and have a chance to find an audience. With a mainstream publisher it only has a small print run, and if it doesn't perform well it disappears.

    Lisa did a fabulous job with Josie and Jacob's story. Liked the mystery and was on the edge of my seat toward the end. Loved the setting and description was vivid enough I was there.
