Welcome to Writing for Christ Katy Lee, it is great to have you here!
Do you have an interesting fact about yourself the average reader probably
doesn’t know?
Thank you, Casey, for having me at
your virtual home! I love missions work, and am planning a missions trip this
year to Alaska.
Do you have a favorite genre to read/write?
I love romance. When I sat down to
write, the villains kept popping up, so I accepted the fact that I was a
suspense writer, too.
Do you have a nugget of writing advice that has completely changed how
you view writing?
Trust God. He will provide all
knowledge in the moment I need it. I can set out on a subject matter I know
virtually nothing about and know He will show up. For
example, I have a book
releasing in September with deep sea divers. I’ve never dived before and
worried I wouldn’t be able to write the diving scenes correctly. I also checked
prices for training and couldn’t afford the expense. But I trusted God and
wrote the story, knowing He would provide the information in the moment I
needed it. When I reached the scenes my characters had to gear up and dive, God
showed up. Opportunity after opportunity presented itself to me. I met a diver
at a dinner party and talked his ear off. I received an email from a scuba
store (I don’t know how they got my email) advertising for a four hour intro
class at an amazing discount.
So, like I said, my advice, trust
God.
5 things you love?
Chocolate Tea…all the taste, none
of the calories.
Travel…there’s a world out there
to experience.
Homeschooling…or, as my kids call
it because we travel, Worldschooling.
Knitting…check out my sock
monkeys!
Reading…with writing I don’t have
the opportunity to do much of this anymore, but I’m making a New
Year’s
resolution to read more.
What novel have you recently read that has stood out to you that both
teens and adults will find enjoyment in?
Well, like I said, I don’t get to
read much for personal enjoyment, but I do get to read with my children as part
of their schooling. The two books we recently read together were The Trapp
Family Singers and The Book Thief. Can you tell we’re studying World
War II? Both books were beautifully
written.

ReplyDeleteHi Casey. Thanks for reviewing Katy. If your story depended on going under the water mine would all been done by research. LOL I'm sure it's interesting, but just not something I want to do. I would like to read your book tho. Casey I am a follower and a subscriber. Please put my name in the pot.

I love how Katy experienced God's will when she truly needed the information - it was gifted to her. Awesome. I'll be looking for this new book.

ReplyDeleteHello all! Thank you for stopping by to learn a little more about me! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteDon't enter me as I already have a copy. I just wanted to say this is a GREAT little story. The only thing that would have made it better would be if it was longer. It definitely ended too soon for this suspense lover :) I look forward to reading more of Katy's stories!
ReplyDeleteAnne,
DeleteSo happy you enjoyed WS! I wish it was longer, too! I didn't want to let Miriam and Owen go at all. :( But they make appearances in the next few books that take place on Stepping Stones Island. Grave Danger comes out in May. :)
