Interview with Jenna Ives

Published 2017-02-16.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I don't think it's smart for an author to put all their eggs in one basket, so I see Indie publishing as a way to broaden the playing field and not depend on any one publisher for your career. Heck, I've been published by FOUR traditional publishers and I still think Indie publishing is a good thing!
Describe your desk
My desk is so cluttered I don't know how I concentrate! In my own defense, I will say that it's cluttered with bits and pieces of ideas for future books :)
When did you first start writing?
I first started writing at age eleven with an adventure story featuring a middle school girl and her friends, and I haven't stopped writing since!
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
The best part of writing is hearing from readers who enjoyed the story. The 'psychic' income of that is worth more than any monetary income to me. I love that readers love what I write!
