In
these interviews I’ll often ask if an author always knew they wanted to be a
writer. It’s one of those questions that are cliché, but often have good
answers. But from your bio I suspect the answer to this would be no. Instead,
why don’t you tell us, what prompted you to become a writer?
I’ve
always been an avid reader but had never seriously considered becoming a writer
although the thought crossed my mind occasionally. However, that changed when I
was living in Japan and couldn’t find books to read that were written in
English. This may sound strange now but remember it was 1997 before the e-book
craze took off with the advent of good e-readers like the Kindle, the Nook, and
the Ipad. It may sound stupid but I decided that if I wanted a book to read, I’d
have to write one myself. Thus my career as a writer was born. I’m just an avid
reader turned writer and author.
