Smashwords Interview

When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Wow, what a loaded question this is! I am all over the place, really. And, actually, my fiction writing doesn't get enough of my attention, to be honest. I run my own writing-services company (On-Target Words, LLC), I'm president of the Hastings Rotary Club, I'm active in the community through Rotary and our Team Up organization, I sing at our little church out here in Mocassin Branch, and I volunteer a few hours a week at the sheriff's office, helping out Standards and Accreditation with clerical stuff. My husband, home, and felines all require some of my time and attention, and I volunteer monthly at the Sisters in Crime meeting in Jacksonville and the Florida Writers Association meeting in St. Augustine. Washing the floors is at the bottom of my priority list, so don't EVER eat anything off my floor.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I do. And it was really more of a lyric poem or a ballad, but it told a story. I was 11 and I fell hard for a boy I met when we were in the Great Lakes region camping, one summer. Of course, he went home and so did my family and that was that, but I was crushed. Around that time I picked up a $10 guitar and began to teach myself to play, and I spent several years writing lyrics and music. Later I discovered that was similar to poetry which I really liked, especially Poe and Frost. We won't discuss my first novel, however. It's too embarrassing to admit to.
