Welcome June!
Tell us about your latest release.
Give Us This Day is a contemporary inspirational romance set in the Seattle area due out February 1.
When Jess Colton walks away from his past, he leaves alcohol behind but replaces it with a food addiction, yet nothing Holly Harrison does will allow her to escape from her mistakes. Can their romance survive the obstacles from their former lives?
What sparked the story idea for this novel?
One day I brainstormed scenarios of what I felt would be the most unlikely romantic relationships. I'm sure these ideas were influenced by situations and people I've known in real life. In Give Us This Day, a story about an obese computer geek and a woman who wears a prosthesis seemed like quite a challenge. I wanted to try to write something different, a story not like any other I'd heard about. The story allows a lot of room for the necessity for God to work if Holly and Jess' relationship is to survive.
Do you have any writing rituals or favorite places to write?
My writing table is unique. Since my husband and I live in our RV full time, Joe used his creativity and took out the couch. He replaced it with a metal writing desk and a couple of filing cabinets. This actually works well.

Which member of your family had the most influence on you as a writer?
My husband has been so supportive, but I'd have to say my daughter Susan has had the most influence on me. When I told her about the story lurking around in my head, her comment asking me why I didn't write it was the spark I needed. She has encouraged me every step of the way as well.
Was there any particular book which captured your imagination as a child and why?
I loved to read as a child – the Bobsey Twins and the Nancy Drew books. However, nothing in my memory stands out. I wasn't an avid reader in those days. Even as an adult, I didn't read romance which is what I write now. I believe that's one reason I was so surprised when the Lord put the desire on my heart to write inspirational romance.
Thank you June! It's been a pleasure having you visit my blog.
Love and light,
Debra
