In an interview earlier
this year, the question of having any author for dinner was asked and my
answer was the same then as it is now….
Nora Roberts!
I met Ms. Roberts at a writers conference in the early
1990’s and have admired her ever since. Her advice, instruction and
encouragement back then spurred my desire to write and her gift for
storytelling has kept me entertained and inspired to date.
After the initial smoozing and flattery over appetizers we’d
get down to some serious conversation. I’d love to know how she keeps creating
dynamic stories, over and over and what her formula for success is. I’ve heard
it said that she doesn’t believe in writer’s block or any of the other excuses
we sometimes use to procrastinate, so I’d like to know how she copes when stuff
happens and life just plain gets in the way of writing.
But more than the typical Q&A session, I’d love to have
a normal conversation with the woman who has touched lives and impacted hearts
the world over for so many years. I picture her as a warm, caring individual
with depths of compassion and people skills and would enjoy discovering what
qualities she looks for in a friend, does she have insecurities despite her
success, what dreams haven’t been fulfilled yet and other such information best
friends would share.
One of my dreams is to visit Boonsboro, MD one day.
Hopefully Nora and I will run into each other and maybe, with a little time to
spare and share, we’ll sit down for a cup of coffee and a gab session.
Title: Circles of Fate
Blurb: Set at the tail end of
the Vietnam War era, Circles of Fate takes the
reader from Fort Benning, Georgia to Thibodaux, Louisiana. A romantic saga, this gripping
novel covers nearly twenty years in the lives of Shaunna Chatman and
Todd Jameson. Constantly thrown together and torn apart by fate, the two are
repeatedly forced to choose between love and duty, right and wrong, standing on
faith or succumbing to the world’s viewpoint on life, love, marriage and
fidelity. With intriguing twists and turns, fate brings together a cast of
characters whose lives will forever be entwined. Through it all is the hand of
God as He works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are
called according to His purpose.
