                                                            Welcome Linda and congratulations on your historical sweet romance books! First, tell us a little about yourself . I fly all over the U.S., teaching people how to write their family history or their own autobiography. It all started when I began writing my own ancestor’s stories. I believe it’s very important to teach our children their heritage. We are the people we are because of our ancestors. It’s up to us to write these experiences down. Our children need to be proud of their ancestors. After writing my own ancestors’ stories, I couldn’t stop writing, so I turned to historical “sweet” romance and then mystery/adventure novels. To learn more about what I teach and read sample stories of my ancestors, you can visit my website at www.lindaweaverclarke.com . Tell us about the first book in your historical sweet romance series. This novel has “sweet” romance and adventure. In Melinda and the Wild West , Melinda Gam

The winner of Double Identity is... Congratulations Deborah!

K. Dawn will give away a free download of Double Identity . To enter to win leave a comment and an email address. Welcome, K. Dawn. Congratulations on your new book. What would you like readers to take away from it ? Double Identity is a young adult book about two identical twins, one a Christian, one a non-believer. I'd like for the reader to take away that no matter what happens, God is with us. Also, people need to learn to trust their hearts. Why did you choose to write this book? I thought it would be fun to explore what it would be like to have an identical twin. Of course, a young woman's boyfriend would love how she looked. Would the fact that someone else looks just like her make her insecure? What did you learn while writing this book? I learned that being an identical twin can be hard! Tell us a little about your writing. What is the toughest test you've faced as a writer? Finding time to write. I work a full-time job and also a lot of weekends,

                                                                          To enter to win Sherri's e-book leave a comment and an email address. Welcome Sherri! Let's talk about your writing. Why do you write the kind of books you do?   I want to uplift readers and share with them the wonderful goodness that God has allowed me to see. I want readers to feel hope and to know that there’s always an answer to their troubles. I also want to entertain them, make them laugh, make them think, and make them swoon. I am also passionate about purity and sexual integrity. I have been married for almost twenty-five years. In those twenty-five years, we’ve seen many friends experience failed marriages due to infidelity. We have two children who we’ve raised to value their purity and to save it for the spouse God has for them. I’ve worked with the youth ministry at church on and off for ten years and seen the devastation that comes when kids choose not to wait. And more rece

Welcome, Staci. Tell us a little about yourself. I'm a stay-at-home mom with three kids, a husband, and a writing addiction. At least that's where it started out.  Then God took it beyond my imagination, and in the last year, I became a #1 Best Selling author!  Fantastic! Congratulations! Lots of writers were avid readers as children. Were you? When I was very young (3 and 4), my grandmother kept me during the day.  She had a stack of about 10 books that we cycled through, reading before naptime.  My favorite was always Cinderella.  When I got into junior high, I got hooked on The Sweet Dreams teen romance books.  I read them, collected them, re-read them, and pretty much wore them out.  The first one has the cover hanging on by one little strip of glue. Ah yes. Those are the best kind. Tell us about your books. What's your latest about? The very latest book I put out is called True Power & Real Peace.   That book took me by complete surprise.  In fact, I ha

  Bluebird of Brockport is a Novel of the Erie Canal. Donna's offering either a print or an email copy. To enter to win leave a comment and an email address. She also shares her favorite Bible verse and well as her mother's recipe for Apple Crisp. NOURISH THE BODY - The Apple Crisp                                                When I pondered what favorite recipe to share, I thought about the characters in my latest book, Bluebird of Brockport , A Novel of the Erie Canal, and asked myself what they might have been able to create on an Erie Canal boat in 1830. The answer came to me fairly quickly: Apple Crisp. It’s extremely simple and all of the ingredients would have been readily available in the early nineteenth century. I grew up in western New York State in the fruit belt where apple orchards were plentiful. My mother’s cousin would always stop by after harvest with two crates of apples for us — one of Macintosh and one of Red Delicious. My mother would bak
