Smashwords Interview

What motivates you to write fiction novels?
An active imagination helps. I see things in everyday events, in people I've known, places I've been and my mind's eye takes over. When an idea is rattling around for more than a few minutes, the story and the characters unfold. When I can see the character, it's easier to understand their nature. Creating something that entertains, amuses and causes the reader to see things from different perspectives is a challenge I relish.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
In third grade I became enthralled with the Hardy Boys Mysteries. They ignited my passion for reading so much that I decided to write one of my own. A stern geography teacher quashed my ardor. The desire was always there, but time was fleeting. Since escaping the corporate world, the passion to write has been rekindled and I'm reinventing myself as a writer.
