Interviews

15 Bloggers Share How They Fell in Love with Christian Fiction

15 Bloggers Share How They Fell in Love with Christian Fiction

Said Farmer Brown, “Tra-la, tra-lee…” Ahh… Little Golden Books.  They might not have been the first books my mother ever read to me, but they probably were. My first mystery. Nancy Drew. My first “western”? Well, I consider Little House on the Prairie to fit that bill! But remembering all the Continue Reading

The Hidden Blessings in Losing Your Memory

The Hidden Blessings in Losing Your Memory

“Who are you, again?” “I’m Joe’s, daughter. Vyonie.” My sister pointed to me. “This is Chautona.” For some odd reason, the niece she spent the least amount of time with, Aunt Doris remembered—somewhat. But she didn’t remember Vyonie from what I could tell. She smiled at me, that amazing, sweet Continue Reading

Amelia’s Interview: Deepest Roots of the Heart

One of the ways I try to get to "know" my characters is to try to type up an "organic" question/answer session.  I'll try to let each question spark the following one--really working to get into the character's head.  I did that with Avelino, but for this release party, I thought it might be fun to Continue Reading

Mix-It-Up Interviews: Christy Barritt

Well, it's our final Mix-It-Up Interview for this series.  I'll try to do this again in the future, but I wanted these four interviews of the other Waterfall Press authors as we lead up to the release of Deepest Roots of the Heart. Christy Barritt's release was on Tuesday!  I've been chomping at Continue Reading

Mix-It-Up Interview: Nicole Deese

Next in our interviews is Nicole Deese, author of A Cliché Christmas.  Nicole and I started off talking about planners and personality tests, writing and “colorful” language. So I edited most of that out, because I really don’t think everyone is dying to “hear” us laughing about our Meyers-Briggs Continue Reading

Mix-It-Up Interviews: Sarah Price

Today's interview in my series of "Mix-It-Up" interviews is with Sarah Price.  Sarah's Mennonite ancestors came over from Prussia in the 17oo's and settled in the Lancaster County area of Pennsylvania.  Her rich family history gives her unique and authentic insights to the Amish culture.  Sarah is a Continue Reading

Mix-It-Up Interview with Tammy L. Gray

Mix-It-Up Interview: T. L Gray

We're on the final countdown to the release of my book, Deepest Roots of the Heart, with Waterfall Press.  To celebrate, I thought it might be fun to interview the other Waterfall Press authors and share a bit about their book releases from this year. The problem came when I realized that we've Continue Reading

A Chat with Willow…

Every day I get half a dozen emails about Willow asking questions, making observations, and begging for more. For those who have taken the time to encourage me, I really want to thank you! It's so cool to open my email and see, "I want to BE Willow." It assures me that I've accomplished my goal-- Continue Reading

What is Next?

Aggie is coming soon, but as far as youth fiction, I have several things in the works and planned. Everard-- In the Not-So-Fairy Tales collection, I have started a story about a prince who has just returned from war.  He's shy, confused, and after doing something so out of character that he can't Continue Reading

Peeks at My Notes

I learned something about myself in this book.  You see, I usually am a "fly by the seat of my pants" writer.  The story is in there, and my fingers simply type it into Word and then I polish it into the story it is meant to be.  Well, when a books is supposed to be the last one in a series, it Continue Reading

The Making of a Map

So, throughout the map making process, Craig often sends me updates-- little snippets to keep me abreast of what is happening!  I thought it'd be fun to show you a few of the things that he sent along the way this time. Then he sent... This one amazed me! Then, after that, he Continue Reading

Everard- Not-so-fairy-tales

Q & A & Stuff

I've had a few questions via email, in person, online, chatting, etc.  So, I thought I'd share them for the rest of the folks too! Q:  What is Everard?  When will it be available? A:  Everard is my second in the Not-So-Fairy Tales Collection.  It is started, planned, and it's unlike any fairy Continue Reading

If you haven't read Seek and Hide by @amandagsteve If you haven't read Seek and Hide by @amandagstevens , stop everything and order this book. Then schedule dinner delivery the day it arrives and dive in. Chilling,  inspiring,  and proof that Amanda is a stellar Storyteller.
