In response to an "author tag," I've jumped in to play! Here's a brief interview about my upcoming novel, Laughing with Lily.
What
is the working title of your book?
Laughing
with Lily
Where
did the idea come from for the book?
My heart has long been burdened for
women who’ve aborted their babies. I wanted to profile this issue through my
central characters, plus revisit a setting where my husband and I shared our
early marriage years.
What
genre does your book fall under?
Women’s fiction
Which
actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
Hmm . . . good question. Possibly Evangeline Lilly for
the lead. Co-lead, Christian Bale. Not so much for the roles they’ve played or
what they stand for, but for their physical appearance.
What
is the one sentence synopsis of your book?
An infertile woman
grieves over an abortion her husband knows nothing about.
Will
your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
OakTara has contracted Laughing with Lily for release in
2013-14.
How
long did it take to write the first draft of your manuscript?
About one year
What
other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
Tough one . . . since Laughing with Lily takes many unexpected
twists and turns, I would equate it to an Angela Hunt story, and given the
issue, perhaps a Francine Rivers’ book.
Who
or what inspired you to write this book?
As I mentioned earlier, my heart for
women experiencing the grief and loss resulting from abortion prompted me to
write Celeste’s story.
What
else might pique the reader's interest?
If you enjoy a story that keeps you
guessing, Laughing with Lily is for
you!
