Elizabeth Goddard's "Exposing Amber"
We're happy to have Elizabeth Goddard with us today talking about her book, Exposing Amber. To learn more about Elizabeth and her book, read on!
1) How did this story come to you?
I’ve always wanted to do a story about a fossil dig and I found a museum that was connected to one and knew it would make the perfect setting for a book.
2) Tell us about the journey to getting this book published.
For some, especially these days, it seems the journey to publication happens quickly. For me it’s been long and arduous. I started working toward publication in 2001, though at the time I hadn’t yet decided to focus on novel writing. But when I attended my first conference, ACW, and met DiAnn Mills I knew I wanted to write novels. I didn’t receive my first contract until 2007.
3) Tell me three things about yourself that would surprise your readers.
I’d rather go to Yellowstone National Park than Disney World. I prefer action movies over chic flicks. I haven’t read any Amish novels. Not even one.
4) What are you working on now and what's next for you?
I recently turned in a romantic suspense proposal to a category romance publisher and I’m working on a big story for my agent right now. I’m very excited about both stories, but I don’t want to give away any company secrets.
5) Parting comments?
I’m so thankful the Lord opened these doors for me—I love to write!
6) Where can fans find you on the internet?

Hi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad the story centers around a fossil dig. I love geology and my favorite part was when we went to a limestorn quarry and used a pick to get fossils out of the ledge. I still have them and would love to go hunting again!
Your book sounds wonderful. I would truly love to read it. I'm going to your website to read more about it. I love stories about fossil digs and museums. I'm turning my baby son also. He to has a love for museums. I can never get him out of them.

Hi Beth,
ReplyDeleteI once wanted to be an archeologist. The reality is I don't like to dig in the dirt but it would be fun to read about.
I'm glad to hear you prefer action to chick flick too.
Thanks. Carol

Elizabeth's book is an entirely different genre regarding the digs and fossils. It is fascinating. It has always interested me. I live in Texas, and there is a wonderful display and dig area in Glen Rose. That is also the camp for the United Methodist Church in this area, and a very educational and fun activity for the children and adults that attend the camps.
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering this book for a giveaway. I appreciate the chance to win.
