Bookish Question of the Week

BookishQu250In just under two weeks, I head off to Nashville and the ACFW Conference. If not for the overwhelming generosity of some beloved friends, and the enthusiastic support of my exceptional husband and daughters, this would not be possible and I am ever so grateful for their kindness and sacrifice.

So, what will I be doing there? First things first, actually. I’m flying over with the gorgeous and talented Dorothy Adamek, a dear friend. I can’t begin to tell you how much her friendship means to me. We share much of the same background even though we only met …

Are you a re-reader? Why, or why not? And if you are, what are some of the books you have read over and over?

You have written over twenty books—do you have a favourite?

My favorite tends to be either the one I’m working on or the one I just finished. Right now I’m finishing a historical novel set in New York in the 1870s (working title: The New People), so I’m excited about that. And another favorite is a historical novel published in 2011 called Leaving Van Gogh, which was about the last two months of the painter’s life.

But of course I’m really excited about …
