I own a Kindle Keyboard, which is pretty much ancient now. It still works well enough for my purposes. I like the e-ink feature a great deal, and that does help my getting-older eyes a lot. I also read on my tablet and cell phone, but those aren't in as much use. Of course, I do use my laptop to read the things that I write, since I have an ereader app installed. Again, that isn't my primary choice, but it's there.

Facebook and other social media. Also, word of mouth.

I have spina bifida and other conditions that make it hard to sit at a desk. I do have a desk, and it's messy. The computer, it's networking apparatus, the screen, audio equipment, various pencils, pens, notebooks, the occasional woodworking tool, the occasional inspirational oddity, and a cat (don't ask, he doesn't like questions.)

As far as writing goes, I tend to sit in my recliner with my laptop to compose my work.

I grew up in Northwest Florida. It's close to several military bases, and that military presence predisposed me to start reading military fiction. I couldn't enlist myself, due to several health problems, but I still had an active imagination. This lead to science fiction and other things, and then to writing it.

In the 90's. I was writing little things in high school, and really started liking it in college.

I've always wanted to write a fantasy novel. Unknown Worlds is a collection of stories, none of which are strictly fantasy, and the upcoming Wizard's Apostasy is. I started thinking about the things that you would see in Tolkien or other such books, and wondered about the things that are more work-a-day. What about the people instead of the wizards and such? Of course, those elements are there, but I wanted to get into the things that, for want of a better phrase, form the background against which those 'wizards and such' are set. Wizard's Apostasy is the result.

I wanted to write.

Exercising my imagination. I can't put it any more simply than that.

My fans mean the world to me. JB Steele wouldn't exist, but for the fans. Oh, sure, there would be stuff that I would write, but I would be lying if I said that it would all be strictly for me.

The sequel to Wizard's Apostasy, tentatively entitled Ranger's Calling.

David Weber, Stephen King, Eric Flint, Mercedes Lackey, John Ringo, John Scalzi, Alexander Kent, Bernard Cornwell, William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, J.K. Rowling, Jerry Pournelle, Larry Niven, H. Rider Haggard, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Dale Brown, Larry McMurtry...... I could go on.

Food. Plus, the cats wanting food and the bird wanting food.

I like to spend time with The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association.

Internet! Electronic books, electronic medium.

I think it involved a cat.

Food, write, something to drink, laundry, write, write, write, hang out clothes, write, food, answer messages, update website, write.

I get distracted.

Food, write, kitties....

Very carefully. It has to be done, of course.
