“A June Bride” Book Review...

Jul 6, 2015 by Rachel

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again. Today I am reviewing Marybeth Whalen’s book, A June Bride. Now I know it isn’t June, but here is A June Bride only 6 days into July!   As is my custom, if I could ask Marybeth one question about A June Bride, it would be — “What made you want to write about ‘home life’ of celebrities?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, onto Rachel’s Back Talk!                                                            ...

So without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk – Special Edition!  Interview: RR: Hi Carrie! Thanks so much for being here with me today. To start off today’s interview, could you tell us when you knew you wanted to be a writer. CT: I’ve always loved to read and wrote my first book, by hand, at age 12. But after that I followed my interest in art and graduated with a BA in Fine Art. I homeschooled my five children and we read a lot of historical fiction aloud. That stirred my interest in writing that genre. RR: I have to say homeschooling is great!...
