Giveaway and Author Interview: Redemption Ranch by Leann Harris

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

I am an avid gardener and a master composter.  If I get stuck on a plot or a scene, I go outside and dig in the dirt.  That helps.  I also am a teacher of the deaf.  I taught high school math. 

Do you have a favorite genre to read/write?  

I love romantic suspense, as well having written it most of my career.  It has only been that last few books that I’ve done straight romance.  I also love romantic comedy. 

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

Since changing from suspense to romance, I’ve learned how to plot in a different way.  I have started using the 16 Master Archetypes by Tammy Cowden.  It is a wonderful book.   It gives you tools to plot your book.

What do you enjoy most about being a published author?  

The thing I love the most is I can share the stories of my heart.  When God gives you a story, you want others to read it and see the lesson that God has shown to me.  There are some passages in my books when I finish writing them, I know it wasn’t me who wrote that.  I’m just the tool.  That is exciting. 

Places for readers to learn more about you?   

I have two websites, www.leannharris.com and www.barbharrison.com     About a month before my next book, Redemption Ranch,  LS, 04/12, comes out, my characters will start blogging their thoughts about the book and give away little secrets about the book.  It’s a behind the scenes look at the book.  I’ve done that for the last two books.  I also blog with http://craftieladiesofromance.blogspot.com/,  http://www.loveinspiredauthors.com/  and  http://ladiesofsuspense.blogspot.com/
