Smashwords Interview

What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
Creating something unique and making people laugh. If I can take people out of their lives for a few hours and help them forget their problems – that is the best feeling in the world.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
Argh! There are sooooo many! Here’s five, but there are many, many more:

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie because it’s a fantastic puzzle.

The Martian Chronicles, by Ray Bradbury because he made me think outside the box.

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll because sometimes you just have to think 6 impossible things before breakfast.

Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell because it’s a sweeping saga and it broke my heart.

The Rook by Daniel O’Malley because it’s bizarre and makes me laugh.
