Smashwords Interview

How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
I anticipate Smashwords will contribute to my success as a new author by allowing my novel "Final Drive" to achieve global exposure. The subject of my book is romance with domestic violence as an element of the story. I have an MA degree in counseling with an emphasis in women's issues. Although this novel is fiction, domestic violence is a very serious problem it not only impacts the victim but little children growing up in that type of home atmosphere. Children learning to cope with anger issues in the same way often grow up to be abusers. Domestic violence is a global problem and hopefully my book will have a global audience. I believe with knowledge and awareness growth and change are possible..
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
The greatest joy of writing for me is the creative process. For me writing is an art form and a way to convey thoughts, feelings , and beliefs.
