Smashwords Interview

What are you working on next?
Right now I'm working on making my books available to readers on all levels. I'm looking for schools, libraries, even businesses with waiting rooms to carry my stories. I like to promote early childhood reading and positive imagery in written messages.
Who are your favorite authors?
I've enjoyed reading Dean Koontz, Maya Angelou, John Steptoe, Judy Blume and a mountain of other authors. I also like the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe and various works of Nikki Giovanni. Currently I really like the writing style of Alexander Kwame.
