Interview with Elizabeth Goddard

by Patricia Bradley

Actually, we're interviewing Elizabeth Goddard's character, Willow Anderson, the heroine of her new Uncommon Justice Books. The first book in the series is Never Let Go

Me: Willow, it’s a new year. What do you wish someone had told you at the beginning of last year? 


Willow: That I needed to spend more time with my grandfather. Cherish him. Tell him and show him how
much I love him. Better yet, I need to prevent the events that led to tragedy. 


Me: You’ve followed in your grandfather’s footsteps. Do you think you’ve turned out the way he expected? 

Willow: He spent years training me to take over in his forensic genealogy business, so I hope I don’t let him down. But I honestly don’t think I have his gift to find clues and follow leads that others miss. That scares me because the last thing I want is to be less than what he hoped for.

Me: What’s the worst thing that happened in your life and what did you learn from it? 

Willow: My parents were killed when I was young and so my grandfather raised me. I still miss them and still wonder why they died. I learned that I need to trust God no matter what, and I’m still trying to do that.

Me: What do you believe about God? 
Willow: That He’s always with us, no matter what we’re going through. That He is my rock, and that He will never let go.

Me: Former FBI Agent Austin McKade is your ex-flame…what do regret most about your breakup? 
Willow: I wish I hadn’t let so many things come between us. Things that now seem so unimportant, so trivial. Look at the time we’ve wasted being apart.

Me: If you had a ‘snow’ day with no responsibilities and your only mission was to enjoy yourself, what would you do? 
Willow: Get lost in a historical novel.
Me, too! :-)

Me: Tell us a little bit about this book you’re starring in. 
Willow: Here’s the blurb:

As a forensic genealogist, Willow Anderson is following in her late grandfather's footsteps in her quest for answers about a baby abducted from the hospital more than twenty years ago. The case may be cold, but things are about to heat up when someone makes an attempt on her life to keep her from discovering the truth.

Ex-FBI agent--and Willow's ex-flame--Austin McKade readily offers his help to protect the woman he never should have let get away. Together they'll follow where the clues lead them, even if it means Austin must face the past he's spent much of his life trying to forget. And even if it puts Willow's tender heart at risk.

In this fast-paced and emotional page-turner, bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard keeps the stakes high, the romantic tension sparking, and the outcome uncertain until the very end.


Me: What do you want the reader to take away? 

Willow: A happy sigh of satisfaction, and to know that God is with us.
