Giveaway! Warning Signs by Katy Lee!


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.

  9. Don'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!

    1. Anne,

      So 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. :)
