Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
No, but I've been writing for as long as I can remember and I'm pretty sure my early work was a rip off of the books I loved at the time. Probably something along the lines of The Famous Five go to Narnia and meet Nancy Drew (I had eclectic tastes). There was probably a pony in there too. Or a unicorn.
How do you approach cover design?
I hand it over to a professional designer. I'm all about the words. I'm not great with images.
