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?

Would love to read this book!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to participate in a dig, so your book really captured my attention. I like the cover of the book also, it is inviting to me. I love Disney World, but tried to talk my husband into taking our vacation in 2011 at Yellowstone instead as I've never been there. He has promised to take me there in 2012 because unknown to me, he had already planned a trip to Disney World for 2011 to be there over my 50th birthday! Thanks for a chance to win your book.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you,
