Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
When I was a Freshman in High School, my English teacher said we could earn extra credit if we wrote something to put on the bulletin board. I wrote the poem, "The Man" and that started my love of writing.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I found an agent for my novel, "The Mysterious Bed" and they weren't able to find a publisher for it. So I decided to publish it myself and discovered that I had crossed the genres so much they didn't know how to market it. Also, since the main character is gay and married a man and it was in the late 90s, no one was ready for that in a story yet, so I decided to publish it myself.
