Giveaway! Winds of Freedom by Becky Lyles!

Welcome back to Writing for Christ Becky Lyles, I am excited to have you here for a second time. :- )

What has changed in your writing life since you were last here?

I’ve had several fun speaking, writing and editing opportunities and met lots of interesting writers. I also finished the sequel to “Winds of Wyoming” titled “Winds of Freedom,” which will debut in late spring.

What recent read stood out to you as truly spectacular?

“The Mountain Between Us” by Charles Martin is one of those heart-wrenching books you can’t put down or forget, once you finish it.

Do you have favorite authors?

Friends recently introduced me to Charles Martin and Kristin Hannah. They’re my current favorites. Both are amazing writers who provide depth as well as a good story. My for

mer boss, CJ Box, writes great mysteries that feature a Wyoming game warden. Joe Pickett is a family man and someone who can’t help but delve below the surface of shady circumstances and make things right.

What do you find the most enjoyable part of writing or connecting with readers?

I’m excited when readers are encouraged by the characters’ faith that matures as they face life’s challenges head-on. Regarding writing, I struggle to get the first draft out of my head and into the computer. But I love self-editing and rewriting. My husband calls me a “perpeditor,” his abbreviation for perpetual editor. :- )

What do you find the most ideal atmosphere for writing? Do you ever get those surroundings? :- )

I love to sit at a campsite with a legal pad on my lap and a pencil in my hand, but that doesn’t happen real often (never in winter!). I keep telling my husband we need to buy a cabin in the mountains. Surely that could be a tax write-off, right?

Okay, something fun for those writers out there: In what point of your writing career did you surprise yourself by writing the most words ever in the shortest amount of time?

I’ve participated in ACFW’s Writing Novel Track a couple times and found it a terrific way to spur myself to stay focused and write at least a couple thousand words per day. Seems my high day was around 3500 words. I’m amazing when I hear people say they can write 10,000 words a day. Neither my brain nor my body would cooperate for such a long stint at a computer. Maybe that has something to do with my age…

Thanks for being here again! It has been a joy and we wish the very best with your novels.

Thank you so much for having me, Casey! You always have great questions. Bless you! Becky
