Friday: Personal Q & A
Questions & Answers
Do you have another profession besides writing?
I’m fifty-four years old and have been a stay-at-home mom to one daughter and three boys from when my oldest was born when I was twenty-five, until my youngest went to college in 2023. Alongside raising my kids, I had an unintentional career as a person who said yes to every volunteer request.
I loved being involved in my kids’ schools, sports and at our church, and forged many friendships and thrived as I love organizing people, events and things. Then one year I didn’t love it anymore. I needed a change and that was when I remembered my dream to write a book and I enrolled in writing classes.
Favorite Recent Books:
Heartwood, by Amity Gaige. I loved it so much I also read another of her books, Sea Wife, which I also loved. Broken Country, by Clare Leslie Hall; Fredrik Backman is one of my favorite authors and I saved My Friends until I had a few quiet days to completely immerse myself and read non-stop to savor his wonderfully flawed relatable characters.
