When you’re not writing or parenting, how do you spend your spare time?
Reading or running. (An occasional bubble bath with book and treats–door padlocked, of course!) With four kids, seven to eleven and a half years old, spare time is a rare commodity in our home!
If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
Hmmm. . . probably the ability to see where my kids will stumble the most painfully so I can help develop their characters more diligently in those areas.
For you, what was the most difficult part of the process of writing this book?
The editing. I wrote and rewote and rewrote and then my agent sold it to David C. Cook who hired an amazing editor to reshape it. It was tough. Spent a lot of time sending up SOS prayers!
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
An author. Then as I got older an Egyptologist, then an accountant and finally in college decided to become a psychologist. God had other plans. Ones that I love!
Where will you be headed next?
I’ve started a collaboration series that I’m really excited about. I met with my agent and another writer a couple weeks ago to brainstorm and do some character development. It’s going to be a lot of fun to write.
