Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in the state of Georgia, central western area in Haralson County, about forty miles west of Atlanta. I have six living siblings, my oldest sister died several years ago. Our mother was an artist, though we were so poor her supplies were primitive, red clay, wood charcoal, some watercolors. Several of my nieces and nephews inherited her talent, though oddly, none of her children did. I think living close to the land, with few resources, I learned to appreciate the things I had and this has influenced my writing. I still identify as a Redneck, I do not want to forget my roots, though a writer friend has been kind enough to observe that my writing reveals me as much more than a Redneck.
When did you first start writing?
I dabbled in writing off and on all my life. But never had the confidence to think I actually could write until later years. I've been writing and actively seeking publication about twenty-five years. My first print magazine publication was a sci-fi short story, then a few years later an online mystery short story.
