Smashwords Interview

What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
That's a tough one. We get up early at our house because the school bus comes at the crack of dawn. And I do mean crack! And then it's off to work. Sometimes it's knowing that I'll eventually get to write at the end of the day that gets me moving. And I always look forward to reading anytime that I have free time and especially before I go to bed.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I love to sing and I love to read. And I love movies, especially previews. I absolutely love previews! I think that would be a dream job, selecting the scenes and scoring the music.
