Jennifer asked Melanie Dickerson:

Hi Melanie, I just wanted to send out a HUGE THANK YOU! You showed me that clean historical romance really can be done--and that people really want to read it! Thanks to your example, I just published my first book in September! I recall reading in one of your answers below that people said your books would never get published. Where did you look for inspiration to prove them wrong?

Melanie Dickerson Hi, Jennifer! I looked to God. I feel like God put a grain of faith inside me (like a mustard seed?) that my books, particularly The Healer's Apprentice, would get published someday. I held on to that faith even after three years of trying. And it happened. So never lose hope, and pray about everything. Let God show you which way to go, and if you don't feel He's telling you specifically what to do, then do what is right in front of you and keep praying about it.
May God bless you in your writing! He is faithful.

Hi Melanie, I am writing a book at the moment, but I am really struggling to find a good, descriptive name for it. I can easily come up with names for my in-progress drafts, but maybe that's because I'm less connected to them. I love the creative titles for all your book!!! How do you think of them? Also, how do you decide when something is not relative and if to cut it from the manuscript? God bless, Alanah

Maggie asked Melanie Dickerson:

Will you make any of your books into movies? I would love to see what they would make the hero's look like.

Camille asked Melanie Dickerson:

I love your Christian medieval fairytales! I'm curious how many you're planning on writing in total? I'm hoping for many more considering there are so many wonderful fairytales you haven't yet told! :)
