Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Yes vividly. It was about a detective who was between murder cases. When it was rejected by some of the best publishers in the business I was sure that the leading writers if that genre of the time were in cahoots to keep me out of the publishing business.
What is your writing process?
I sit down at the computer and start to write anything my character would find interesting, whether by accident or design. The main idea is to begin writing, because by nature I'm a lazy man and starting anything new is a struggle. After I start the adrenalin starts to flow and my character does the rest of it.
