So without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk – Special Edition!  RR: Hi Jennifer! Thank you for joining me here today. To start off today, when did you know that you wanted to be a writer? JS: I’ve always enjoyed writing, and as a kid, teachers and adults often told me I was a good writer, but I never really considered it as a career. But then one day, as I was brainstorming a story for a ministry I was involved in, I realized my enjoyment of writing went much deeper than I’d thought–I found it deeply fulfilling. After that, I began to dabble more consistently in writing, then...

So without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk – Special Edition! RR: Hi Roseanna! Thanks for joining us here today. How did you come up with the idea for The Reluctant Duchess”? RW: Part of the inspiration traces back 2 decades—after I wrote the first draft of book 1 at the ripe old age of 13, I started planning the sequel, which would be about Brice Myerston. I knew that I wanted the heroine to have suffered a harsh past…but knew very little about what that would do to a person, so I didn’t get very far in writing it back then. When I set about actually writing...

So without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk – Special Edition! Interview: RR: Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk, Jody! Your latest book, Luther and Katharina, details the true romance between Katharina von Bora and Martin Luther. What led you to this remarkable story? JH: As I homeschooled my children and gave them history lessons, I began learning a lot about some of the great heroes of the faith. I was particularly fascinated by the wives of these great heroes, especially those who were long forgotten by our modern world, women who had stood by their husband’s sides during dangerous times and had helped shape those...

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! Another Friday interview! Today’s interview is with Dina Sleiman. This past Monday, I had the opportunity to review her book Chivalrous. So without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk – Special Edition! Interview: RR: Hi Dina! Thank you so much for joining me here today. Your first book in the Valiant Hearts Series , Dauntless, had a Robin Hood inspiration. What legend inspired Chivalrous? DS: Chivalrous relates in many ways with Arthurian legends, particularly Sir Lancelot.  It takes place in a fictional dukedom in Northern England which strives to live by Arthurian ideals, including a round table type of government. It is a story of tournaments, chivalry, and courtly love with a surprising twist on the Lancelot and Guinevere story. RR: Yes, I loved the setting and it sounds like you’ve taken...
