Hello
everyone, I have the pleasure of hosting award-winning, best-selling author,
Paulette Harper today! She’s sharing a sneak peak of her book, Living
Separate Lives?
Can
you tell us a little about yourself and how long you’ve been writing?
I am an award-winning, best-selling author. I have been writing and publishing books
since 2007. Known as the “Authors Coach” I have authored 7 published works and
currently working on another novella. With a passion for writers, I founded
“Write Now” literary workshops designed to coach aspiring writers in the area
of creativity, development and publications of books. I own and operate Write Now Literary Virtual
Book Tours, where I serve as CEO and Senior Marketing Expert.
What
or who inspired you to write?
My inspiration comes from my family, friends and
readers.
Can
you tell us what your book is about?
Living Separate Lives, a Christian Novella.
Four Friends, One Secret and The Weekend That
Changed Their Destiny
Candace Walker, Kaylan Smith, Jordan Tate, and
Tiffany Thomas have their share of sorrows, but neither of them realizes how
deep the sorrow goes. What happens when
they agree to meet for a weekend of relaxation in beautiful Napa County? Which
one will leave the same or worse?
Although they have been friends for years, they
thought they knew each other well. But will a secret destroy their relationship
and bring the sisterhood to a complete halt? Will they be able to forgive and
allow God to mend that which might be torn?
Why
did you choose your particular genre?
I write in two genres, Christian Fiction and
Christian Non-Fiction. With a nudge from
God, and going through a major transition, my first book was a non-fiction,
inspirational novel. I love writing in
both genre and I’m forever learning and honing my skills as a writer.
Who
are your favorite authors?
I don’t have any favorite authors, but I do have
several authors in which I glean from and read their work. I enjoy reading Christian Fiction,
Inspirational and Non-Fiction. A few of the authors I enjoy are: Michelle
Stimpson, T.D. Jakes, Joyce Meyers, Joel Osteen and some others.
What
was your greatest challenge writing this book?
One of my greatest challenges was staying focused.
With plenty of distractions pulling at me, I would admit I had to press my way
through everything that tried to steal my time.
What
do you love to do when you’re not writing?
When I’m not writing, I’m working at Write Now
Virtual Book Tours, taking care of my grandkids and shopping.
What
kind of advice would you give other authors in your genre?
The advice I would give would be to learn the industry,
develop the craft and find a mentor.
Where
can readers find your book?
Thanks Shelia for hosting me on your blog
