I'm so blessed to have Erica Vetsch visiting with me! In case you missed my article last week where I trumpeted the wonder of her new book, A Bride's Portrait of Dodge City, Kansas, you can find it HERE.

Marji is a recently "graduated" homeschooling mom whose twin girls have blessed her by sticking around the nest for a little longer. She spends her days directing the children’s music program at her church and working with the authors of Write Integrity Press to put out the best possible version of their books. Raised in suburban Dallas, she got her first taste of writing through the stories of brilliant authors of their day, Mignon Eberhart and Phyllis A. Whitney, and through stage experience. After directing and acting in productions for decades, Marji started writing her own scripts. From that early beginning, she delved into creating scintillating suspense with a side of Texas sassy. She invites readers to unravel their inspiration, seeking a deeper knowledge of the Lord’s Great Mystery that invites us all.

Thanks for sharing with us, Erica! Glad to learn more about you. And thanks for the interview, Marji :-)I want to know how my favorite authors form their characters. Are they all pictured in their heads, or do they comb through magazines and find visuals for the characters appearances?

Great interview, ladies! Erica I love the kids meal from BYB but I add bacon to it, because everyone knows bacon makes everything taste better!I always want to know what a day in the life looks like for my favorite authors and how they write. Plotter/pantser (but that's from the writer in me not the reader lol)
