Giveaway! An Amish Family Reunion by Mary Ellis

Third time visit and giveaway from Mary Ellis ☺

If you could go anywhere on vacation where would it be?

I would love to go to Ireland and travel the countryside on back roads. I would stay in charming inns and guest houses, no chain hotels, to capture the essence of the country. Since I don’t particularly like Irish food, I would love to vacation and not gain weight!

Do you have any pets?

Bad timing, Casey…my favorite dog of my life just died a few weeks ago. Miss Daisy was a Springer Spaniel who loved to flip on her back to get her belly rubbed, from absolutely anyone. A robber would have to stop to rub her belly in between carrying out the electronics. I also have a cat that I love, but cats just aren’t the same as dogs.

Ahh, I’m sorry! It’s always hard to lose a pet. :(

Your favorite book that you have written?

It would be my latest, An Amish Family Reunion, because I reconnected with the characters from my first series, and added a brand new romance.

What is your favorite pastime?

My favorite pastime is swimming, but since I have no pool and live far from the beach, I don’t get to indulge anywhere near enough.

Favorite book?

My favorite book is Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I’m still waiting to own a first edition of that masterpiece!

Favorite movie?

I suppose my most recent favorite movie is The Help but I also like Thelma and Louise (really dating myself here!) and Fried Green Tomatoes. I can watch those two over and over and never tire of them!

What people have inspired you in your writing journey?

Too many to count! My agent, who kept her faith in me even though it took over two years to sell my first book and my husband, who always encouraged me not to give up.

What character in a novel you have read has stood out and seemed to stand the test of time?

Oh, goodness, for me that would be Scarlett O’Hara. I read Gone with the Wind as a teenager and again as an adult. That character never loses steam no matter how many years go by.

If you could meet one person from history who would it be and why?

Other than the Lord, I would love to meet Louisa May Alcott. I’d enjoy chatting about how publishing has changed in the last hundred years….and all the ways it hasn’t.

Okay, last one and a fun one for our readers today: If you were stranded on a desert island and could only take one thing, what would it be? Why?

 I would take Johnny Depp. Why? Because I have a hunch he’d be great catching fish and roasting it over a campfire for my lunch. And I never miss lunch!

Too fun, thanks for joining us for a third time!! It is a privilege. ☺  

Thank you, Casey!!!!
