Doing a Christmas book was my publisher's request. So I just told another Blessings story and set it at Christmas. For the readers who are familiar with the series, it's Wade and Birdie's story. It's a sweet story with many heartfelt moments and some tragedies, with several families getting their Christmas wish. There's also a most memorable Christmas parade down the Main Street of Blessings, and I know my readers are going to love the story.
What are some of your favorite Christmas traditions?
Baking and candy making are two favorites. Having a big family dinner at Christmas was a must back when my family was all still here. The holidays are a bit quieter for me than they used to be, but still enjoyable and blessed.
What's next? (future books, novellas, etc)
What's the best writing tip you've learned and would like to share?
This goes without fail, and is something I do to this day. I always quit writing for the day in the middle of a scene that I am anxious to finish. It makes going back to it the next day, something to look forward to.
What do you know now about writing and publishing that you wish you'd learned sooner?
I don't think I can answer that the way you want. I learned what I needed to know, when I needed to know it. And the business has changed so drastically from what it was thirty years ago, when I sold my first book, to the way it is now that there are few ways to compare it.
Any last words or tips?
I just want to thank my readers who've been with me from the start, and to welcome all new readers into my world of stories.
I just finished a women's fiction book that I'm self-pubbing. It's called The Broke-Ass Women's Club, and will be out sometime before the end of the year. It's funny and poignant and heartwarming and sad. about four women who discover they're victims of a bigamist after he is killed in an accident. Not only that, but he has been forging and embezzling money they had before they married him, and his death has left three of the four bankrupt and about to become homeless. After the women meet for the first time at the funeral home, and their situation is revealed, the first wife, (the only legal one) still has her old family home, and invites them to come live with her until they can get back on their feet. They meet as strangers, and become sisters of the heart.
