Thank you for joining us for our concluding installment with award-winning LDS author Sherry Ann Miller. If you missed parts one, two, three or four, click here. Sherry Ann, what is your favorite part of being an author? Because of my health, I have limitations on what I am able to do. But as an author, I am able to “do” anything I want. If I want to go sport fishing for Marlin, scuba diving with great white sharks off the Great Barrier Reef, or exploring sea caves in Tonga, I can do that vicariously as an author. If I … Continue reading →

Author Interview: Loralee Evans, Part Two

Thank you for joining us for part two of our exclusive conversation with LDS historical author, Loralee Evans. If you missed part one, click here. Loralee, thank you for taking the time to talk with us again today. I’m curious — will all of your novels be based on the Book of Mormon, or will you be writing in other areas as well? I would like to branch away from writing about The Book of Mormon eventually. Fantasy is a favorite genre of mine, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.

Thanks for checking in with us as we continue our talk with Michele Ashman Bell, best-selling LDS women’s fiction author. Here are the links to parts one and two. Michele, of all your novels, do you have a favorite? I love my Vietnam series even though I’m still not sure why I wrote about a war and a country I knew nothing about. My favorite stories are those that show a person overcoming great odds and triumphing. I love stories of survival and beating the odds. That’s why my favorite book is “Without A Flaw.” I love the main character … Continue reading →

To Have or To Hold — Josi S. Kilpack

Josi Kilpack has always been a tremendous writer with a faithful following, but when “To Have or to Hold” was released, it marked the beginning of a new era. Readers, and fans, were made overnight with this unexpected love story. When I first picked up the book, I really didn’t know what to expect. The basic storyline is that Andrew Davidson has been left a generous inheritance provided he gets married, and so he finds a girl to marry him for the money. I have read this storyline countless times and wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy the … Continue reading →

Yes and no. No, because I tend to be a transparent person and … Continue reading →
