Smashwords Interview
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
The rain on my face if I've left the window open next to my bed.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Watching other people. The human race is fascinating!
Thirteen-year-old Julie Janner desperately wants to spend summer hanging out with her friends. Instead, her mom takes her to an island straight out of the Twilight Zone, on a vacation that turns out to be like riding a roller coaster through a haunted fun house. Many of the locals are unfriendly ("Go home. Now."), broken dolls visit in the night, and some people aren't what they seem to be.

When I first considered publishing my book via Smashwords, I felt intimidated. Could I do this? Would the resulting work look good? How hard IS it to do?
This book was excellent. I read it through, then took my manuscript and worked on it, step by step. Formatting wasn't as hard as I thought it would be because the author truly put it in layperson's terms, along with illustrations. Amazing also what I learned about Word! (And I've been using Word for years.)
