Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I can't remember a time when I wasn't writing. It seems I always have. My sister found a story I'd written when I was about 11 - a love story, no less. While it's poorly written with a less-than-stellar plot line, it's proof that even before I knew how to write, I had a passion for it.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
When I first became an indie author, it was a fairly new concept. I really didn't know what I was doing, but I was impatient to get my book out there for the world to see, and indie was the way to do that. I've since been published both indie and traditionally. There are pros and cons to both, but my heart will always be an indie author's heart.
