Author Interview: Loralee Evans

Today we are joined by Loralee Evans, LDS historical fiction author. Loralee, we are so glad you could chat with us. You write historical fiction based on the Book of Mormon. What first interested you about this genre? I really like the potential for story possibilities in the Book of Mormon. There was so much there going on behind the scenes in the lives of the everyday people that we never have a chance to find out about. But in the end, they were real people just like us; they had their own lives to live, and their own challenges … Continue reading →

Thank you for joining us for part two of our interview with author Candace Salima. For those of you who missed part one, click here. Candace, I understand that “Out of the Shadows . . .

Yesterday I reviewed a novel called “The Breaking Point.” The author of that book, Karen Ball, has graciously agreed to answer some questions exclusively for Families.com and I’m pleased as punch to bring you that interview today.

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