Giveaway and Author Interview: A Vision of Lucy

 Welcome to Writing for Christ Margaret Brownley, it is great to have you here! Do you have an interesting fact about yourself the average reader probably doesn’t know?

First I want to thank you for letting me visit today.  Hello everyone!

I don’t know how interesting this is but I failed eight grade English and still don’t know how to diagram a sentence.  Come to think of it I wasn’t that great in history, either (all those dates and battles).  Math and science were more my style. I was probably more qualified to be an astronaut than a writer of historical novels.

Do you have a favorite genre to read/write?

I read all over the board but I favor historical romances and that’s what I write. I also like to curl up with a good mystery or thriller.   

Do you have a nugget of writing advice that has completely changed how you view writing? 

I used to have a terrible time with endings and could never get them right.   Then I read somewhere that if there’s a problem with the ending there’s almost always something wrong with the first chapter.  Now, whenever I have a problem I go back to square one and that usually helps me figure out the ending.  Come to think of it going back to square one is pretty good advice for just about anything. 

What do you enjoy most about being a published author?

Being published means I can justify the time spent writing.  (Deadlines are a great excuse for getting out of all sorts of things—like housework!) I wrote four books before I published my first and that old guilt complex kicked in whenever I escaped to my office to write.  Being published means I can honestly say I’m working.
