Smashwords Interview

What is your e-reading device of choice?

iPad; I received it as a gift, several years ago, and I can't live without it; it goes everywhere I go now.

When did you first start writing?

Almost twenty years ago. I took a few courses and workshops in writing fiction and nonfiction but soon realized that I couldn't really write fiction. After writing how-to articles and the like, one day many years ago, I discovered A&U Magazine--America's AIDS Magazine and decided I was going to become a contributing writer. For several years I've been the Arts Editor at A&U, too. Also, that's how I started covering HIV/AIDS, and then the LGBTQ+ community.
