This is an excerpt from an interview on the Smashwords Website:
When did you become a writer ?
I started writing songs as a teenager. They were rubbish. In the mid seventies I was one of my band's songwriters. Most of the songs were the usual paranoid teen anguish and totally forgettable. Before you can say anything you have to have something to say. I became a Christian in 1990 and the experience inspired me to write. Songs, sermons, magazine articles flowed from my pen. A lot of what I wrote back then has been used in my later books.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I've been recording and releasing albums of my mostly self written songs for the last twenty five years. Almost all of them have been self funded and distributed. I was on the books of a record company and released an album on their label back in the mid 90s but found the experience very restricting. I enjoy the creative freedom of being an indie. Once I've completed a project i tend to lose interest and focus on the next, so promoting my work is a chore I'd rather pass over to someone else.
Three or more years and half a dozen books later, I'm still no closer to getting the publicity and promotion stuff sorted. I really need someone to do my admin.
Any Offers?
