Susan Skylark

Biography

Once upon a time there was a sensible young lady who pursued a practical career, but finding it far less fulfilling than the proponents of the modern fairytale promulgate, she then married a clergyman, much to everyone’s astonishment, including her own, and in proper fairytale fashion keeps house for the mysterious gentleman in a far away land, spending most of her time in company with a very short, whimsical person who can almost speak English. She enjoys fantasy, fairy tales, and adventure stories and her writing reflects this quaint affectation. She considers Happy Endings (more or less) a requisite to good literature and sanity, though real stories never, truly end.

Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I have always loved stories and have been reading them or imagining my own for as long as I can remember, but in the pre-computer days I wrote very little as it was a tedious and time consuming process (of course that was in elementary school), but once I hit junior high and discovered computers, I began to write much more often and have been doing so ever since, at least when I get the time.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
My sister has tried to get a book published for years, she actually has a deal with a major publisher, but so far no book. I have all these stories I want to tell and it seemed the best route to get them out there, whether anyone reads them or not is another matter but it is fun seeing your words in print.
