Deborah Kinnard's Seasons in the Mist
We're happy to have Deborah Kinnard with us today talking about her book, Seasons in the Mist. Read on to learn more about Deborah and her book.
1) How did this story come to you?
It came the year I vacationed in England, walking around Cornwall and just letting my imagination run wild. There was a ruined building near my hotel, that had once sheltered a well. I got the “holy well” idea from that.
2) Tell us about the journey to getting this book published.
2) Tell us about the journey to getting this book published.
I first wrote it in 1982 on an Apple //C, on software that doesn’t exist anymore. When I got the idea to rewrite it, I couldn’t, so I had to rewrite from scratch. It’s a far different (and better) story now.
3) Tell me three things about yourself that would surprise your readers.
(1) I write characters who are surprised by God in some way;
(2) I’m the only woman in America who cannot make Jello;
(3) I’m a singer by nature but do not ask me to dance. It ain’t pretty.
4) What are you working on now and what's next for you?
Working on a sequel to SEASONS IN THE MIST, working title SEASONS OF RECKONING. I’m thinking to finish this story before the ACFW conference this September.
5) Parting comments? I hope readers will want to journey back to the 14th century with me. It was a fascinating time.
6) Where can fans find you on the internet?
I would love to win this book. It sounds excellent.

SEASONS OF THE MIST sound like a good read.
ReplyDeleteIt is intriguing how writers come across ideas that lead to novels.Just looking at a ruin and then, puff, a complete novel. Well, probably not just that quick, but still amazing.
Thanks for the opportunity to receive a copy.
