Welcome to Writing for Christ Dani Pettrey, it is great to have you
here! Do you have an interesting fact about yourself the average reader
probably doesn’t know?
I write all my first drafts longhand. I usually buy
a cute notebook, a colorful pen, and then get started :)
Do you have a favorite genre to read/write?
Inspirational romantic
suspense because it incorporates so many things I
love–the thrill of adventure, nail-biting suspense, the deepening of one’s
faith and plenty of romance.
Do you have a nugget of writing advice that has completely changed how
you view writing?
Here’s a quote that left a great impression upon me
regarding writing: “Whether
or not you write well, write bravely” –Bill Stout
5 things you love?
God, my family, my friends,
writing and books.
5 less serious things I love:
coffee, chocolate, traveling, moose and the beach.
What novel have you recently read that has stood out to you that both
teens and adults will find enjoyment in?
Actually, my daughter and I
recently read The Lord of the Rings. I think it is one of the best novels ever
written, and it’s fabulous for both teens and adults.

DeleteYay, I just finished Dani's first book Saturday. Seriously enjoyed it! :) Oh, Casey, you can leave me out of the drawing. I've got Shattered on my Kindle already...it's calling my name... :)
ReplyDeleteHey Melissa,
DeleteSooo glad you enjoyed Submerged. Can't wait to read your debut!
Dear Casey,
ReplyDeletePlease enter me for the novel, "Shattered". We have her first book in the church library and I would love to win this one too.
Hope you and your family are doing well and staying warm. We are expecting a deluge of rain due to a cold front coming down. The prediction is snow for this weekend, which would be okay, but I live in Florida.
We've had snow twice in my lifetime and I'm 61 years old.
I'm going back to my mom's house today so better get off this computer.
Thanks for entering me in the giveaway.
