Talkshow Thursday: Welcome Back, Jodie Wolfe!
The theme of the book is based on Isaiah 43:2 - When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. (KJV) I love that we’re promised the Lord will be with us every step along the way, even when we go through the waters, rivers, fires, and flames. What a comfort.
If your book is part of a series: Did you set out to write a series? Why did you decide to write a series?
Convincing Lou is the final book (4) in my Burrton Springs Brides Series. I didn’t originally set out to write a series but the heroine in my first book wants to return the favor to her brother for setting her up as a mail-order bride, so she orders a bride or two for him to consider… which led to the 2nd book. While each book is a stand-alone, you will find repeat characters showing up in each one.
If you were to write a spin-off book about one of your secondary characters, which one would you choose and why?
Chuckle. Each of the books in this series have happened because of secondary characters. I think I’ve finally exhausted all of them now. 😊
What draws you to the time period about which you write?
I fell in love with the time period as a little girl watching and reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie Series. It’s also the genre I love to read, so it makes sense that I write historical romances set in the 19th century.
How do you celebrate when you finish a manuscript?
I’ve been working on a book and told my husband when I finish, we’ll go celebrate by watching the
What writers or books have influenced you?
I’m sure it’s a long list. Some of the ones off the top of my head are Laura Ingalls Wilder, Lori Wick, Janette Oke, Mary Connealy, Jen Turano, and Karen Witemeyer.
What books are on your nightstand right now?
Right now my Bible and other devotional booklets. I’ve been saving Mary Connealy and Jen Turano’s new books to read as soon as I finish my current project.
What is your next project?
I’m starting a new series set in Shippensburg, PA. It’s about prodigals. The first book, Abigail’s Pursuit takes place during the U.S. Civil War which is something I’ve never written about. I’ve had to research a lot and have enjoyed working with a local historian.
BOOK BLURB:
Ellie Lou Williams will do just about anything to save her ranch, even going undercover as a man to round up a fella who is late to his own wedding. The reward will more than cover the money she owes the bank and solve all her problems.
Caleb Martin agrees to one final job as a deputy US Marshal before he starts his new life away from the trail and tracking criminals. What he isn’t counting on is a mysterious bounty hunter who’s determined to undermine his every step.
Will one reach their goal first? Or will they learn to lean on God and work together?
