Interview excerpt:

Q) Why do you write?

A) To remind myself (and my someday-readers) of True Love, and that He is real.

Q) Describe yourself in 3 words.

A) Vintage. Loyal. TEA+JESUSLOVER (that’s all one word, promise).

Q) What song would be your life’s theme song?

A) Oh, my life has a playlist. But if I had to pick one, I’d say Hallelujah from Handel’s Messiah and Messiah/You’re Beautiful by Phil Wickham (yes, that’s two, sorry).

Q) Who is someone, real or fictional, that inspires you?

A) C.S. Lewis. Cinderella. Queen Esther. Princess Leia. All my aunts.
