Q&A with Treg Julander (Smashwords)
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I podcast about rock music at RockTaleHour.com. I
love rock music, and I love reading and telling stories about rock
songs. My buddies and I recently created a Rock Club--like a book club
except we share music instead of books. I also love to spend time with
my family, ride my mountain bike, watch movies, and play strategy games.
How do you discover the ebooks you read?
Recommendations from friends are the most important source of the ebooks I read.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
The first meaningful story I wrote is a short story
called "Corporate America." It is a satire about a boy and his
grandfather attending a baseball game in which corporate sponsorship had
permeated everything, including the national anthem and the flag. It
was published in Storyteller magazine.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
The first story I remember reading as a kid was
Summer of the Monkeys by Wilson Rawls. I lived in a semi-rural town in
Utah near a large wooded park. The book spawned numerous adventures
through the park imagining monkeys swinging in the trees.
How do you approach cover design?
I like a simple, clean cover design that is intriguing and meaningful to the story.
What do you read for pleasure?
I enjoy reading about rock music, religion, and new
advances in science. I also enjoy reading legal thrillers.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
iPhone. I can read whenever I want.
Describe your desk.
Organized chaos.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in North Ogden, Utah. I had amazing
English teachers in the local junior high and high school that fostered
my creativity. The community was very conservative, but my parents were
comparatively liberal. They taught me to think critically, so I grew up
learning to question social norms. North Ogden was also a great place to
be a kid with so much room to roam and explore.
When did you first start writing?
I first started writing in earnest in the mid 1990s after finishing law school.
