Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
First Grade. My first story was about overalls and why everyone should wear them.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
Funny horrific ideas occur to me on a regular basis. Writing them down seemed like a simple way to prevent them from eating me inside out. Putting them out there for other people to read seemed like a simple way to keep the neighborhood kids off my lawn.
