Where did you grow up and why did you start writing.
I grew up on the North West Coast of Tasmania and fishing for trout was one of my main hobbies. The idea for my first book "Come Fly Fish With Me" came from my initial journey into fly fishing which was taken from a diary I kept at the time. While this book is printed in hard copy a revised edition will eventually become available as an ebook. Like a lot of people I always had the idea in my head to write a book but never seemed to get around to it, this was my first publication. Feed back from readers was in the positive which then encouraged me to do some more writing.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I think what really motivated me to become an indie author was the simplicity of it. In other words it was easy to set up and upload at no cost. Also, rather than write endless letters and submissions to publishers that took up a lot of my time and energy, and there was no guarantee that they would even look at your submission, I could publish an ebook myself which at least put my work out there. I think I also recognised that this was a new avenue for writers, something that I could keep under control and be the master of my own destiny as far as writing went.
