She spent most of her life in Alaska, including several winters in a cabin in the woods, where she became intimately acquainted with outhouses, generators and woodstoves.

Smashwords Interview

How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
A large part of my income comes from Smashwords; I'm one of their best sellers, which is very exciting. Their site is easy to use, statements are easy to read and I can watch sales in real time. I can write what I want without deadlines or rigid word length and they keep me apprised of new developments.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
My NY publisher, Dorchester, went belly up. Editors kept saying they liked my work, but weren't sure how to market it. I needed income, and heard about Smashwords. I uploaded Iron & Hemlock, then others as my contracts expired. I worked my tail off and watched in amazement as sales took off. We were so excited, my husband kept showing his buddies at work as sales shot up. Everyone was cheering, and it looked like a sporting event. It was one of the most exciting periods in our lives.

Convergence
It had been thirty years since the Convergence, when the dimensions aligned and combined Earth and the world of Gwyllon, known in human mythology as “Underhill”. Elven castles and ancient ruins sprouted in vacant lots, on major highways, sometimes merging with existing buildings, twisting into completely new structures. Roads and rail systems reformed, and after the rioting, starvation and death, agriculture finally sorted itself and food began to flow. A new government formed of elves and men had arisen, a society of human tech and elven magic. Cell phones and frost giants, race cars and elven steeds, dungeons and dragons… And everywhere, monsters.
