Giveaway! The Ride of Her Life by Lorna Seilstad!!

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

This one is always hard for me. Besides writing, I’m also a wedding coordinator. I haven’t done as many weddings, though, since I became published.  I love helping couples make their days magical and making sure everything comes off without a hitch. I also do some wedding flowers, too. I’ve had 400 red roses in my house at a time.

Do you have a favorite genre to read/write?

Obviously I love to read and write historical romance, but I also love science fiction/fantasy and mysteries. I’ve always loved the Dragons of Pern series by Ann McCaffrey. The way she created an entire world amazes me.

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

One thing I try to do is illicit some kind of emotional reaction from the reader on the first page. It might be to make them laugh, to feel a sense of justice, or to make them feel a sense of urgency. All of these make an emotional connection with the reader right from the start.

5 things you love?

Teaching Bible Classes ( I teach 5^th and 6^th Graders the book of Acts)

What do you enjoy most about being a published author?

There are a lot of things I love. I love interacting with readers, and I love telling the story I feel God has given me to share. I love the feeling of writing a scene that just comes together, and I love my writer friends like you Casey!

Casey: I love you too, Lorna! J
