Hello, Casey! Thank you for having me again as your guest.
What has changed in your writing life since you were last here?
Since I was last here, I have had two more books published – Book #2 (Kaydie) and Book #3 (Hailee) in my Montana Skies Historical Romance Series. I’ve also starting working on another historical romance series.
What recent read stood out to you as truly spectacular?
I recently read the Bible Study Understanding What Matters Most -The Book of Ecclesiastes by Stephanie Shott. It is an excellent Bible Study and I highly recommend it! As far as fiction goes, I just recently started reading Cowboy by Staci Stallings and am really enjoying it as well.
Do you have favorite authors?
That is a great question! I actually have several favorite authors and couldn’t narrow it down to just one (or two, or three!) J
What do you find the most enjoyable part of writing or connecting with readers?
I love to connect with my readers and hear from them how my books have impacted them in a positive way.
What do you find the most ideal atmosphere for writing? Do you ever get those surroundings? ☺
My ideal atmosphere is in my home office with the fireplace going during winter (I have a hard time staying inside during the summer!) while my children are in school.
Okay, something fun for those writers out there: In what point of your writing career did you surprise yourself by writing the most words ever in the shortest amount of time?
While I was working on another manuscript, I actually had to stop in the middle of it and write one that was just “begging” to be written. I sat down and wrote an entire manuscript from start to finish – over 80,000 words – in six weeks. I praise the Lord for that because it usually takes me at least three months to complete a manuscript of that length.
Thanks for being here again! It has been a joy and we wish the very best with your novels.
Thank you, Casey. It is always an honor to be here. You are such a blessing to fellow writers and I appreciate all of your encouragement and willingness to promote authors on your website. May the Lord bless you in your writing as well!

ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the interview. I would have loved to know who your favorite authors are, Penny, but do understand how it is hard to narrow it down to one or two since I have several favorites as well.

ReplyDeleteGreat Interview Casey. I have never heard of Penny. Thanks for the introduction.
ReplyDeleteI am all in there with the fireplace and quiet office environment. Unfortunately I end up writing on my couch more than anywhere else. Need to change that!
Can't win cus I'm not in the states. But thanks anyway!
I love learning more about authors. Thank you forr doing the interview.

ReplyDeleteHello Wfnren ~ thank you for stopping by Casey's blog for a chance to win a copy of Hailee!
ReplyDeleteHello Jo ~ Thank you for stopping by! I actually debated for some time on Casey's question about my favorite author. There truly are so many that I enjoy reading! I do have to say that Christian historical romance is my absolute favorite genre to read (and write!), but I also enjoy contemporary Christian romance as well. I hope you have a fantastic week!
ReplyDeleteHi Carla ~ Thank you for your enthusiasm about my book. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHello Lane Hill House ~ I'm thrilled you stopped by - I love to meet new readers!
ReplyDeleteA big thank you to Casey for having me as your guest on her blog *waving wildly!* It is an honor to be here!
ReplyDeleteHey, Penney and Case -- GREAT interview!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, WOW, Penny -- "80,000 words in six weeks" is AMAZING!! I actually did that, but only once, and it was on my favorite book (A Passion Redeemed) because I was JUST soooo in tune with the characters, it just poured out on the keyboard!!
But I have to laugh at your statement that "It usually takes me at least three months to complete a manuscript of that length" because it takes me nine months to a year usually, so I am REALLLY jealous of your speed, girl!! At that rate, you can write at least three books in a year!!
Would love to get my hands on Hailee, so please toss my name in the hat!!
I am a follower and subscriber, OF COURSE!!
Hugs,
