Smashwords Interview

When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
If I'm at home, I usually have my nose in a book. If not, I'm watching a film or hockey game. If I'm not at home, I could be out walking my dog by the lake. Or I might be at the rink playing hockey or on the lake powerboating or racing sailboats.
