Peggy Sue Wells at The NEXT BIG THING http://peggysuewells.com/2013/02/24/what-is-the-next-best-thing/ asked me to participate in this, so here goes: – oh- and you should check out her books!!!
What is your working title of your book (or story)? FOCUSED
Where did the idea come from for the book? I READ A STAT THAT SAYS 80% OF DIVORCES (AFTER FIVE OR MORE YEARS OF MARRIAGE) OCCUR WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE DEATH OF A PARENT OR THE NEST EMPTYING. I WANTED TO WRITE A FICTION SHOWING A COUPLE WHO GOES THROUGH (FROM BOTH PERSPECTIVES) THIS CHANGE AND, OVER A PERIOD OF A FEW SOUL SEARCHING MONTHS, DECIDES TO STAY MARRIED – AND I WANTED TO MAKE THE STRUGGLE HEART-FELT, AT TIMES HUMOROUS, REAL LIFE, AND FAITH BASED.
What genre does your book fall under? CONTEMPORARY WOMEN’S FICTION
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition? UNKNOWN ONES- SO THAY CAN GET A SHOT AT GETTING NOTICED, JUST LIKE ME
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book? HOW WILL CHRISTINA FOCUS AFTER HER PARENTS HAVE PASSED, HER SON HAS FLOWN THE NEST, AND HER HUSBAND, JEFF, SEEMS TO NEVER BE AROUND ANYMORE-EVEN WHEN HE IS IN HIS FAVORITE RECLINER?
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency? IT IS INDY PUBBED THRU AMAZON
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript? SIX MONTHS
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre? GOOD QUESTION. IT IS IN THE SAME VEIN AS JAN CARON’S FATHER TIM BOOKS, EVEN THOUGH THE CHARACTER IS NOT A PASTOR. BUT LIKE MANY SMALL CONGREGATIONS WHO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE, THE CHURCH FOLK DO GET INVOLVED-THAT’S PART OF THE HUMOR.
Who or what inspired you to write this book? SEE THE FIRST QUESTION
What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest? THE OVERALL MESSAGE IS WE CAN FIND GOD IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR EMPTY NESTS OR EMPTY HEARTS. WE ALL GO THROUGH CHANGE- LIFE IS CHANGE. BUT GOD CAN PURPOSE THAT AND HELP US THORUGH IT. DON’T GIVE UP.
So, now I invite five other Christian authors who have blogs to step forward and do this as well.

Mention me and my blog as your inviter and spread the word! Here are the instructions:
1. You write a blog answering the ten questions and post it on your week,
March 3, and include links to the blogs of the five writers you invite. You
also credit me as your inviter and include a link to the blog I post.

2. The five writers you invite answer the questions; each one puts that
blog up the week after yours goes up, and each one credits you as the
inviter and includes a link to your blog.
3. They, in turn, tag five other writers, and the cycle continues.
