Cara Putman |
Welcome to Writing for Christ, Sarah Sundin, Cara Putman and Tricia
Goyer. It is great to have ALL THREE of you! What brought the three of you
together to write this collection of stories?
Cara: It was my idea because I’d written in a couple novella collections
for Barbour and wanted to do one that focused on WWII at Christmas. I was so
DELIGHTED when Sarah and Tricia said yes, they’d do this with me.
Sarah: It was Cara’s idea to write a WWII Chris
Sarah Sundin |
Tricia: Well, since I adore these two women—and their writing—it
wasn't hard to say YES. Cara brought up the idea and after one phone
conversation with both Cara and Sarah, we were off! Get three writers, who are
passionate about the same time in history, together and it's easy to have
something fun to write about!
Yes, I’m asking you to play favorites…which of your books is your
favorite, published or unpublished?
Cara: This is a super tricky question to answer. I’d have to say a
tie between Stars in the Night and Shadowed by Grace. Shadowed
by Grace. Exploring Italy vicariously was fun, too. I hope to actually see
all the places I wrote about one day.
Tricia Goyer |
Sarah: That’s like picking my favorite child—they each have their
strengths and weaknesses, and I love them all equally. Right now I’m in the
middle of writing a new series, so I’m looking back fondly on my most recent
series, especially the last book, In
Perfect Time. It was the easiest book of the series to write because I knew
all the characters well by then, and I couldn’t wait to tell their stories.
Plus it had one of the most exciting storylines I’d written.
Tricia: This is one of the hardest questions ever! I have to say it
might be Night Song because it's set in The Czech Republic (for
Czechoslovakia). That's my favorite country outside of the United States, and
it's a World War II novel. It's based on true stories from the veterans I love,
and now my daughter is a missionary there. That book has a special place in my
heart.
What is your chosen preference of genre to read and why?
Cara: I’m split between WWII and contemporary romantic suspense. I
adore telling the WWII stories, but also enjoy a good page-turner laced with
romance.
Sarah: Of course, I love historical fiction, but I also love
women’s fiction, contemporary
romance, the classics, and some suspense. Even
occasionally some fantasy!
Tricia: My favorite genre to read is historical fiction. I love
getting the chance to “live” in different times in history. I learn so much as
I read. It's like having a time machine without having to leave my couch!

I have recently read/re-read my WWII books; just finished The Butterfly and the Violin by Kristy Cambron . . . holy cow! I have a dear friend who was part of the original team that set up the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. She set up the educational programs. Wow!

I don't typically read many novellas but this one really captured my attention. I think it's because they are about the WWII era, which I love reading about and also because it is written by three great authors.
