Please welcome Jodie Wolfe to my blog. Jodie it is good to have you on The Sword and Spirit! Jodie is giving away a copy of her book Hearts Tightly Knit so be sure to read on down on how to enter.
Debbie, thank you
so much for having me on your lovely blog. I'm truly blessed to be here. Thank
you for giving me the opportunity to talk about my new release, Hearts Tightly Knit.
How does your
faith and spirituality work in with your writing?
My faith is interwoven into each of the
stories I write. It's a part of me and who I am, so it naturally spills over
into everything I write.
What does your writing space look like?
Right now my
writing desk and computer are in a section of my dining room. My hubby and I
are working on clearing out one of my kid's old bedrooms and converting it into
an office for me. I'm eagerly looking forward to the day when I have my own
space. J
Tell us about your new book.
Here's what it
says on the back cover:
Orphaned at age
ten, Ellie Stafford and her twin sister Mae made a vow—to stick together and
never
marry. Now in their mid twenties, they are bucking convention in Calder
Springs, Texas, as women with respectable occupations who can take care of
themselves. Ellie works at the Good Fixin's Diner and spends her evenings
knitting garments for The Children's Aid Society. When a handsome local rancher
shows up searching for a cook, she's hardly tempted, despite his good looks.
Luke Rogers owns
a spread just outside of Calder Springs. It was running as smooth as cattle
going through a chute until his cook up and marries and high-tails it back
east. With no cook and a bunkhouse full of ranch hands ready to revolt, he
persuades Ellie to temporarily fill in until he can hire someone else. He
should have known better than to get tangled up with another woman.
Do you have a favorite scene in your newest
release?
I love to laugh,
so one of my favorite scenes takes place in the first chapter of the book when
Luke is unsuccessfully trying to cook a meal for his ranch hands. Needless to
say, it isn't a meal you'd like to eat. But you'll have to read my novella to
find out more about it. J
If you could travel anywhere, where would
you go?
I would love to
go to New Zealand and Australia. The Lord of the Rings movies are some of my
all-time favorites, and I'd love to see where they were filmed.
What's next for you?
More than likely
I'll start working on Love in the Seams
which is the sequel in my 'Twins & Needles' series. It's coming out in
November, so I guess I'd better get busy on it. J
