Smashwords Interview

How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
I'm extremely happy to be using Smashwords as a platform because it gives me an opportunity to allow my work to be read for free if or when I wish. This is very important to me because I believe that people should have access to reading, whatever it is they so wish to read from me. It has been very successful because the reach has been incredible and the positive feedback reflects that extension.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
The greatest joy of writing for me is being able to help others through my experience, but also to let others take a peek into my world, thoughts, feelings, etc., shared through my words. It is the ultimate ability to bring people together through words to share a common thread. It truly is an art.
