Smashwords Interview

What is your writing process?
I generally work on writing projects from 11 am to 6 pm, Monday to Thursday. This is not all spent on actually writing, this includes time editing, proofreading and finding new markets for my stories.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
I remember reading fairy tales in Grade One. I loved these books and was disappointed to find that the school library did not have the full collection. Today I still enjoy reading new versions of old fairy tales, as well as writing fantasy and science fiction.
