How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
Smashwords has opened new doors that I could not open for myself. The ability to publish once and have my books on multiple websites is fantastic. I don't have to fret over figuring out each website's rules on formatting. I don't have to jump from site to site to check sales. It simplifies the process and allows me to save time. My relationship working with Smashwords has been fabulous. I can't say enough praise for the entire Smashwords team!
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I have always been a writer. It is in my blood. A calling that I always hoped could one day turn into something more than just a hobby. When I sat down to write my first official book nearly three years ago I knew it was a long shot. I knew there were countless people out there with talent and a story to tell...but so did I.
I write to entertain. To give people the chance to escape for a few hours from their lives and dip into a fantastical world. Isn't that why we read in the first place?
