Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in Arizona and my family did a lot of camping there. I think this helped me have a love of landscapes, vistas, and scale that I try to impart in my writing. I also had a teacher that got me hooked on science, which is a big part of why I write sci-fi.
Describe your desk.
I write exclusively on my laptop at the dining room table. We don't have a large house, so a dedicated office or writing area would take up a lot of otherwise needed space. Thankfully, I love my "desk," and it works great for me. It's also close to the kitchen, which makes snacking easy... Maybe that part is not such a good thing. ;-)
