Welcome to Writing for Christ Carole Towriss, it is great to have you
here! Do you have an interesting fact about yourself the average reader
probably doesn’t know?
Well, you can find out a lot on my
website, like we have four kids, and three are adopted. What is less known is
that their appearances in our life are all connected to holidays. Our oldest,
Emma was born on Christmas Eve. The next
we brought home on Orthodox Easter (a week after Easter). We spent our Easter
in Kazakhstan with her. And the youngest two we brought home two days before
Thanksgiving.
Do you have a favorite genre to read/write?
Biblical fiction. I love going deeper into the story,
especially with characters that are lesser known.
Do you have a nugget of writing advice that has completely changed how
you view writing?
Use as many senses as you can when
describing a setting—or anything. Not just sight and sound, but taste, touch,
smell. Bring the reader inside the character’s head with you.
5 things you love?
Ummm … my husband and four kids? J
OK:
1. The
beach
2. Summer
3. Mexican
food
4. Chocolate
5. A
hot bath and a book
What novel have you recently read that has stood out to you that both
teens and adults will find enjoyment in?
I’d say Rodeo
Hero by Sharon Vannatter, but it’s hard to find. Rodeo Ashes is the sequel. Both deal with the consequences of sex
before marriage, and God’s forgiveness and redemption. I think girls and their
moms would like them.

I agree about Biblical fiction being a blessing. It often makes me think of things from a perspective that I haven't thought of, even if it should be obvious.
ReplyDeleteBiblical fiction has made me think of old stories in so many new ways, and made me think of God in new and deeper ways, too!
DeleteBiblical fiction has made me think of familiar stories in new way many times!

I haven't read very much Biblical fiction but I absolutely loved the Genesis Trilogy by Kaci Barnett-Gramckow.

I lost my first comments, so I will just say that I enjoyed listening to your taped interview on the other site. I missed the give-away. As a working wanna-be pub author, I congratulate you and your trust in Him to make the book happen! I will pray for you and please pray for me. I am writing Historical at this time.
