Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
It wasn't a story but rather an essay I wrote in high school. I remember it very well because there was a national essay contest and my essay “Why I Want to Go to College” won first place. That got me a $5000 scholarship, free trip to New York City & Washington D.C. and my essay was printed in the U.S. Congressional Record.
How many books have you written?
So far, I’ve only written two. My first book “How to Improve Your Life” was meant, not to entertain readers, but to help them. I learned at an early age that the best way to get the things you want in life is to always keep focused on what you want. This book provides a process for doing that. My second book “No Limit Texas Hold’em – 50 Winning Tips was more of a fun ebook. I’m an avid poker player and this book provides the tips that have helped me the most. As you might surmise, I enjoy writing about things that can help others improve.
