Smashwords Interview

What do you like about writing and publishing?
I love writing and reading stories. I have an entrepreneur side to me that likes owning my own business. Indie publishing today allows one to wear both hats within a reasonable budget.
What do you like about your authors?
I like an author who has an edge and who breaks with convention. I have a quirky side to me and I look for that in authors. I look for authors who say the things I can't say.

Smashwords book reviews by Wes Writers & Publishers

  • Big Black Shiny Boots on Oct. 19, 2011

    A great little story. I would have paced it faster a bit by leaving out a couple of words or rewording the scene where he gets out of the car. Also I didn't get how the "victims" wound up in jars on her cupboard.
  • A Last Hunt on Oct. 19, 2011

    I'm wondering why did he kill a perfectly good dog? Did I miss something? The writing is fine, but I don't get the story.
