Loved this book! Thanks for including Ravensbruck I will have to add it to my books to read. Ms Kelly looking forward to your prequel to Lilac Girls. What motivated you to write? Was there a teacher or a person that encouraged or motivated you?
Martha Hall Kelly
I'm so glad you enjoyed Lilac Girls, Karen. Going to Caroline Ferriday's home in CT., now a museum, inspired me to write the book. I was a journalism major in college but learned how to write a novel by reading some wonderful books. I feel like they were the best teachers I could have.

I just finished Sunflower Sisters and of course loved it just as much as I did Lilac Girls and The Lost Roses. Your books seem to live on in my head. The research you did for these books is incredible and so much history in them which is what grips my heart. I truly hope you have more books to come even though you have finished these three from the Ferriday-Woolsey family??? Your writing is beautiful!

It was an honor to meet you at the Dallas Barnes and Noble on 3/13., you were so approachable, witty and humble; It was obvious that you cared about the ladies in The Lilac Girls. If you could have a face to face conversation with one of your characters whom would you choose?

Hi Martha! I just completed my first novel, "A Season With Hope" and its available on all the online sites like amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, Google Play, Apple i books and kobobooks.com, among others. My question to you is how do I utilize social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, etc. to maximize exposure of my book to increase sales? Any other recommendations to increase visibility? Thanks!Drew
