Welcome to Writing for Christ Deborah Malone, it is great to have you here! Do you have an interesting fact about yourself the average reader probably doesn’t know?
First let me say thank you for having me as a guest. I write for “Georgia Backroads” a historical magazine – just like my main character in “Death in Dahlonega.” I also enjoy photography.
Do you have a favorite genre to read/write?
Cozy mysteries would be my favorite to read and write. But, since I’ve had my blog I’ve read many different genres and I’ve really expanding my reading enjoyment.
Do you have a nugget of writing advice that has completely changed how you view writing?
There’s probably more than one I could list, but I would say writing in active voice instead of passive. I’m still working on this one.
5 things you love?
Oh my! Besides the Lord of course. My children. Chocolate. Reading. Writing. And Arithmetic – just kidding about arithmetic. Last, but not least, my friends.
What do you enjoy most about being a published author?
Well it’s still new to me and I’ve been on a roller coaster ride. I guess I’d have to say seeing my dream in print. Knowing I didn’t give up when I wanted to.
Places for readers to learn more about you?

I want to thank everyone for stopping by. I see some of my fans and friends among those who have left comments.
ReplyDeleteBeth - I've had a lot of comments on the cover. The building is the actual Gold Museum in the north Georgia town of Dahlonega.

I definitely know I feel the same way about Math, especially seventh grade Math! Goes too fast for me!
ReplyDeleteI would like to read this mystery!

Hi Deborah, I am looking forward to reading “Death in Dahlonega”. I have on my wish list but maybe I can win your book here.? I also love Cozy Mysteries, but romance with suspense and mystery are also favorites.
