When did you first start writing?
I hated writing essays when I was in school and I only started to enjoy writing after I had children. It was life's experiences that gave me the inspiration to write and when I decided to write, I knew I needed to learn how to write, so I signed up for online courses with a writing school in the UK and followed the course modules until I felt confident enough to self-publish.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
Knowing that it takes a lot of self-confidence sending a manuscript to traditional publishers when many repeatedly turn you down, I thought it would be a good idea to start with self-publishing ebooks and see what happens. It's all about trial and error and lots of research but after becoming more familiar with the way self-publishing works and the possibilities that it offers, I started with my first ebook and continued with other ebooks.
