Interview With David Snook: Author Of Growing Up Snook

I write because I love a good story, and every now and then I have a story good enough to share. Writing should be a pleasure, an exercise in creativity, even though it is often difficult. Writing can become art, but it should always entertain or captivate.

Interview With Ronnie J. Smith The Author Of Poems From The Polar Circles

Briefly explain your philosophy of writing for us.

My philosophy about writing is twofold. First, the writer has to have something to say. The quality of that statement, that something, that underlying concept in the written work, will bear out through the complementary second part, "deliver in one's own voice".
