1. This is your very first novella, one that's full of fun, laughter, and southern charm. What gave you the inspiration for this story?
The four of us were sitting around lunch one day and started talking about southern women and came up with the premise for the story.
2. How much of your own experiences influenced the character of Dottie Jean? What aspects became traits that were hers and hers alone?
Some of me is in Dottie Jean as I am also unorganized, and I'm known for my pecan pies. However, Dottie Jean’s romance experiences were hers and hers alone.
In my story, I want the reader to see the importance of trust as well as see how God gives us second chances at happiness and everything will work for our good when we trust everything to Him.
4. What were your most difficult parts to write? Your favorite?
There were no really difficult parts to write. This story really came easily. The most fun parts were when the women were together.
5. When is your next book coming out and what is the story?
I don't have another contract as yet. I'm working on a full manuscript requested by an editor. It's a historical set in 1896-97 Oklahoma.

Great interview!
What great achievements! If I may ask, what's the difference between a novella and novel? If it's a shorter version of the novel, shouldn't it be called novelette?
Sounds like a great book! Please include me in the drawing.
