We're so happy to have Amy Anguish with us today talking about her book An Unexpected Legacy.  For more information about Amy and her book, read on!
Please tell us five random things we might not know about you.1.     I’ve lived in eight different states in my lifetime.2.     I am married to my first and only kiss.3.     I once had pink streaks in my hair.4.     I am not a dog person. Cats all the way.5.     I hate coffee but adore hot tea.
Why did you choose to write this book?I like to think stories choose me instead of me choosing them. A scene or idea pops into my head, then it grows ... and grows. This book started with just me imagining a girl sitting at an iron table outside a smoothie shop we used to go to occasionally in Round Rock, TX. What if she got interrupted from her book ... by a cute guy? It grew from there.
What one thing about writing do you wish non-writers would understand?  Editing is hard! No matter how many times we go back through a story, we’re likely to miss at least one thing. And it’s not easy to change it once it’s been sent to publication. So, unless it’s a glaring mistake, it will probably just stay there.
What is the toughest test you've faced as a writer?Learning to market myself and my books. It’s one thing to write a story down, but another thing completely to convince someone else that they should give it a chance rather than reading another book. It’s not something I ever imagined having to know. In the dreams I had as a teenager, I just figured I would write the book and someone else would sell it for me. I wish!
What do you hope readers to take away from your novel?Just because people are Christians doesn’t mean their lives are perfect, or that they don’t struggle with things like faith, trust, and forgiveness. Christians are humans, too. They just have the help of their heavenly Father to get through the rough spots.
What accomplishment(s) are you most proud of, writing-related or not? Being a mommy.
