Welcome
back, Laura V. Hilton! Since this is the third time for you to visit, I thought
I would throw in some fun questions, maybe some that aren’t part of the norm in
other interviews. J
If you could go anywhere on vacation where
would it be?
I
would love to go to the upper peninsula of Michigan – I love Lake Superior and
the lighthouses- and even some of the small towns up there. Oh, and all the
waterfalls. I’d also love to visit
Holland in the lower peninsula. If I
could go overseas, I’d like to see Big Ben in London, the windmills in The
Netherlands, and other places in Europe.
Do you have any pets?
Yes,
we have a Siberian Husky named Nanook.
Your favorite book that you have written?
I
loved them all, really. Jacob and Bex had a lot of hurt to work through in Patchwork
Dreams. A Harvest of Hearts because
Shanna and Matthew were just dears. Then I fell in love with Josh and Annie in
Promised to Another.
What is your favorite pastime?
Spending
time with my family
Favorite book?
Oh,
that is hard to answer. I have so many favorites. And so many favorite authors. I have enough books around here to start my
own library. And I love introducing my children to books. They love to read as
much as I do.
Favorite movie?
Probably
The Sound of Music.
What people have inspired you in your writing
journey?
My
agent comes to mind. She’s real encouraging.
And certain members of my critique groups really are awesome. And my best friend. She’s my biggest fan. Oh,
and my husband. He is so supportive of
my writing.
What character in a novel you have read has
stood out and seemed to stand the test of time?
This
is another one that is hard to answer. I
can remember books from my childhood (Heidi or Little Women) and characters
I’ve read more recently…
If you could meet one person from history who
would it be and why?
Ruth,
I think. I’d like to hear how she really felt about Boaz. Was she scared?
Excited? Did she love him when they married or did love come later….
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?
My
Bible. Because I think I would need
it.
Too
fun, thanks for joining us for a third time!! It is a privilege. J

She is a great author and had been a new author to me until I picked up her book, Patchwork Dreams. Of course, after reading that one I had to get, A Harvest of Hearts. Promised to Another is one you don't want to miss!

I always love your interviews, Casey! Fun to learn about you, Laura.
ReplyDeleteI just realized what my answer will be if anyone ever asks me the question about being stranded on an island...my iPhone! Because it has my Bible, a Kindle app with half my library, and the ability to stay in touch with people...is that cheating? :)
I love those questions for Ruth:) I'd like to meet her, too. Well, that will happen in Heaven.
