To start, could you tell us when did you know that you wanted to be a writer? JM: Unlike many of my contemporaries, I didn’t have an interest in writing until I was in my early 40’s. While I’ve always enjoyed reading, I’d not entertained the idea of writing a book until the idea for a novel just wouldn’t quit nagging me. RR: So how would you describe your writing process? Are you more of a planner or freewriter? JM: I plot my books...

Interview: RR: Hi Karen! Thanks so much for being here with us today! When did you know that you wanted to be a writer? KW: The idea of writing kind of sneaked up on me. I have always been passionate about reading. I love getting lost in a story. As a young girl, I would go to the library every week and bring home a stack of books so large I could barely carry them. As I grew older, sometimes I would find myself daydreaming stories, usually based off of television shows I watched or books...

Thank you so much for joining me here today! When did you know that you wanted to be a writer? JT: Quite honestly, it just sort of snuck up on me. I’d left my career in fashion when I had my son, and was busy doing the whole mom thing – you know, play dates and then PTO when he got into elementary school. When he was in third grade, to keep him interested in reading, I’d read a chapter of a middle grade book, then he’d read a chapter, and so...

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!...

So without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk – Special Edition! Interview: RR: Hi Jody! I’m so glad you could join me here today! So to start off to today, can you tell us how you came up with the idea for Hearts Made Whole? JH: Historical textbooks are full of stories about men like George Washington, Thomas Edison, Andrew Carnegie, and so many more.  And while such men are truly remarkable, all too often their stories overshadow equally courageous and remarkable women. One of my goals as an author is to help bring forgotten women of the past to life. In the Beacons of Hope...

I was actually just talking to someone the other day whose son is getting ready for college and trying to come up with a major. And I thought, “Man, that was just never a question for me. It was always writing.” But yeah, as a kid I was a major bookworm and at...
