AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Yvonne Wright

Please help me welcome author Yvonne Wright. Yvonne, how did you come to be a writer?  I've always had an interest in writing, doing poems, and writing articles in news letters, but never thought I would write a whole book.  But I did a creative writing course and when the inspiration came for this book, I just went for it.



How long have you been writing and when was your first book published? My first and only book to date, From Spice to Eternity: Discovering the main ingredient to a life of fulfillment and purpose" was published on May 14, 2010



Where do you write? I started writing in my bedroom, but have now moved to the dining table.



What are you currently writing?  A sermon that I will preach on July 3rd., plus the first set of blog material for my website.



Tell us about your latest book.   It is a vignette of inspirational stories framed around herbs and spices.  The overarching theme is that just as herbs and spices make a difference to a recipe so Jesus makes the unique difference to one's life



What are your favorite books and why? Favorite author and why?   Christian fiction.  They give me a wholesome message and I find them very relaxing.



What accomplishment(s) are you most proud of, writing-related or not?  That I wrote my book and got it published.



Favorite scripture: John 16:33



What do you have within reach as you write?   A bottle of water



What would you like readers to take away from your book?   The conviction that Jesus is necessary in every life and accept Him in their life.



Why did you choose to write this book?  It is meant to be a way of getting the message of God's love out to everyone and especially those persons who would never pick up a 'religious' book per se, but would drawn to this because of the content, i.e tips on herbs and spices and recipes.



What did you learn while writing this book? That it takes dedication and perseverance.



What was your favorite scene/chapter from the book?   Hear the Sound of the Hammer
