Goodreads asked Joe Shephard:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Joe Shephard That's a tricky one. I don't see myself as a writer; more as an Airline Pilot who writes. Flying is my first passion and vocation. Truthfully, I felt so relieved to complete my first book. Finally, putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. Telling a story is an outlet, a way of making our voices heard and getting our ideas and creations out into the world. Even if no one reads my stories, ultimately, that's okay because I know I created something I felt I had to put out there. It was an itch I had to scratch, and now it's done. I can put my stamp on it and say, "I did that!"
