A Warm Welcome to Bonnie Leon Bonnie will give away a print copy of Return to Misty Shore (U.S. residents only). To enter to win leave a comment and an email address Hi Bonnie, tell us a little about yourself. I’m a Southern Oregon country gal who is still married to my first true love. I met my husband, Gregory, when I was only seventeen. We married two years later and will celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary this summer. Though I grew up in Washington State my first visit to Southern Oregon convinced me I needed to move. It felt like home right away. My husband and I, with our three kids moved to the foothills of Douglas County, Oregon in 1980. We designed and built a small home, which has grown through the years and is somewhat sprawling now. We’re still here, and our youngest daughter and her family live right next door. I love that. We share a five acre piece of land that rests in the midst of the Umpqua forest. Were you an avid reader as a child? W...

A Warm Welcome To Tamera Kraft Hi Tamera, Lots of writers loved to read as children. Did you? If so, what did you enjoy reading? Yes, I read everything I could get my hands on. I always had my nose in a book and would take my flashlight to bed so I could read when I should have been sleeping. Whenever I got my Scholastic Book order form from school. I would pour over the list for hours trying to decide which books I wanted for the money I was allowed. Then I would beg my mom for more money. My earliest memories of books I read were Black Beauty, A Wrinkle in Time , and all of the Encyclopedia Brown mysteries I could get my hands on. Let's talk about your writing. Why do you do it? I love books, and I’ve always wanted to be a writer. Life interrupted my plans, but God brought me full circle back to what I love to do. Tell us about your latest book. My new book is Alice’s Notions and is just out. It’s an historical romantic suspense. What do you ...
