What motivated you to become an indie author?
I started writing as a career during my stint as a nuclear reactor engineer. It was necessary to keep daily logs of status and problems relating to the facility's operations. The entries had to be specific, exact and relative to the facility's operational status. All problems, had to be explained in time, location, and exact. This provided a background and a natural way of written expression. Later as a project engineer, I was required to write project plans. This expanded my writing experience and the scope of subjects I was required to describe. This background as a scientist and engineer provided the exploratory I used to investigate cryptocurrencies, and their potential as an investment opportunity.
How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
Smashwords has provided both the specific instructions needed to make my book available to a world wide audience, and the detailed instructions needed to format it correctly for multiple format exposure. Their help was easy to understand and apply. Any questions were promptly answered, and gave me the place to find out what I needed to put it all the required pieces together.
