INTERVIEW
If
you had to describe yourself in one sentence, what would you say?
I
am a follower of Christ, a loving wife, and a caring friend.
What
do you do when you’re not writing? Any interesting hobbies?
More
recently I’ve been on the Keto/healthy food kick, so pinning on Pinterest has
been a thing. I also love to read. I always have a book at the ready.
What
was your favorite book as a teen or child?
I
loved Judy Blume books. I would have to say Are
you there God, it’s me Margaret was my all-time favorite book.
Tell
us three things about yourself that might surprise your readers.
1.
I
served in the U.S. Navy for thirteen years.
2.
I
lived on the small island of Guam for two years.
3.
I’ve
been on two missionary trips to Uganda.
Why
did you pick the genre you’re writing?
I
usually write in the Christian suspense genre. I love the action and
uncertainty of a good story. I also enjoy adding just a hint of romance along
with an inspirational message.
What
is your biggest challenge right now as a writer?
My
biggest challenge is time. I thought being a writer meant you sit down and
write a book and you are done. There are so many other aspects to writing that
can be very costly and time consuming. Marketing is the absolute worst.
What
has been the toughest criticism given to you as an author? What has been the
best compliment?
The
toughest criticism was given to me by Nancy Mehl. But at the same time, she was
my best compliment. That she took the time to read one of my books and
encourage me, means a great deal to me. Other great compliments are when
someone has read a book of mine and is inspired by it.
Any
other genres you’d like to try? If yes, what and why?
Okay
so, a friend of mine says I should try out the romance genre. I am not a very
romantic type of person but I wrote out an outline to an entire billionaire
romance series. To be perfectly honest, I think it’s more on the comedy side
than romance, but someday I might write it. Maybe even someday soon.
Where
do you see yourself in five years? Ten?
In
five? I hope to be a full-time writer. By ten years, I would like to be better
established and have an entire library of my own books.
What
is the most important thing you’d like readers to take away from your books?
Each
of my books present a message of hope. Whether it be an abused woman, A wayward
teen or an abducted child, each story is uniquely inspiring and often tragic.
The
Chosen
After
yet another fight with her mother, 17 year-old Luna Ferris runs off. This time,
she’s determined to stay away. But when a mysterious stranger saves her life,
Luna doubts her
Back
home, Luna’s mother is frantic with worry, and fraught with guilt. In her
frustration she does something she promised she would never do. Something that
will change the course of her life forever.
Can
Canyon Rock Chief of Police Erika Granger find the girl in time?

ReplyDeleteLinda, Christian suspense is my favorite as well. Thank you for your interest. :)
DeleteInteresting sounding book. My hubby was in the Navy for six years and we were on Guam for 4 of those years ending in 1974. Son#1 was born at the Naval Hospital in 1972. Then we stayed there as missionaries for another year. The Navy shipped us home in time for son #2 to be born. We lived on the Air base, which was the International Airport, right by the back gate! Fond memories.
ReplyDeletePaula, my second son was born there in 93 after the huge earthquake that hit. I was stationed at Nctams Westpac in Agana. Besides the loadshedding and continual power outages (Oh yeah and typhoons) I loved it there. Thank you for your interest in my book.
