<\/p>\n

Welcome to my Author Interview, today I am with Rebecca L Marsh. I was fortunate enough to be offered the chance to read and review her third novel, Where Hope is Found, my review can be found here:<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So to get to know my guests
\nbetter, I get them to pick a venue for where this interview could take place,
\nthey can pick anywhere they like, it could be somewhere special, a favourite
\nplace or somewhere they have always wanted to go.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Where is the venue today Rebecca,
\ndo I need to bring anything along with me?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I guess if
\nwe are setting a scene, my favourite place is the beach. I love the sounds of
\nthe waves, the birds, and the other people in the distance. So, how about a
\ntrip to Corolla in the outer banks, were the wild horses are? we\u2019d need some
\nnice beach chairs, sunscreen, a beach umbrella, and a cooler with drinks and
\nsnacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a passion for horses and love the beach, so this sounds perfect.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Banker Horses of Corolla<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

After you mentioned this, I did a little research as I was not entirely sure were this was and learnt it is a beach that is situated in North Carolina and according to local legend the wild horses also known as banker horses are descended from Spanish mustangs washed ashore centuries ago in shipwrecks. Nice little fact for the day!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

A<\/b>nyway, for anyone who has not yet come across Where hope is found, it is a wonderfully written, steady paced read, Set on a beautiful island, that made me feel like I could live there and be apart of the close-knit community.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is due for release on 15th October 2020.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s find out a bit more about Rebecca.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What inspired you to start writing and when did you first
\ndecide to write a novel?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I really don\u2019t know what inspired me to start
\nwriting. I started when I was 12 and just felt like I was supposed to. I know
\nthat sounds weird, but it was more of a compulsion than a desire at first. I
\nstarted a novel the first time when I was in high school, but I didn\u2019t finish
\nit, and for a while I stopped writing altogether as I was focused on other
\nthings. The first novel I finished was started when I was 29.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Where do
\nyou get your inspiration from? <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

For most of my stories, I don\u2019t really know
\nwhere the ideas came from. But I can tell you that my second novel, The Rift
\nBetween Us, was inspired by conversations with my mother expressing her worries
\nto me that my siblings and I might drift apart someday. My Mother is aware she
\nwas my inspiration and the book is dedicated to her for that reason.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s funny were inspiration comes from but I guess when it happens you just go with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

For those who don\u2019t know The Rift Between Us is about three sisters Maria, Lauren, and Avery, they all decide to go their separate ways after a family dinner turns into a bitter fight. Their father warns them that someday they will need one another. When he dies suddenly, they learn that he intends to make sure that they do. He\u2019s left them a substantial inheritance, far more than any of them ever imagined. There\u2019s just one catch. If they want the money, they will have to spend two weeks together at a secluded lake house and follow all of their father\u2019s instructions\u2014no matter how strange.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Their task seems simple enough, but each one is holding onto painful secrets and old grudges the others know nothing about. But if they can learn to trust each other again, they might be able to mend the rift between them and give their father his dying wish.<\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

This sounds quite exciting (I have added it to the must read pile)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Where do
\nyou normally write, do you follow any routine?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I write at my desktop computer, which is in a
\ncorner of my living room, so no shutting myself away. If I look to my left, I
\ncan see out the window a little, to my backyard, but I don\u2019t really have a
\nspectacular view. I usually like to write in the afternoon. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I think
\nif I had a spectacular view it would distract me too much and I would spend
\nmore time looking out the window than getting anything done.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Do any of
\nyour characters reflect yourself or anyone else that you know?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Not on purpose. I\u2019m sure there is a little
\nbit of me in most of my characters. I\u2019m also sure that qualities from people I
\nknow show up in my characters, but I don\u2019t model any of them after myself or
\nanyone I know.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As I
\nmentioned earlier Where Hope is Found is due for release on 15th October. Where
\nwill my readers be able to purchase it from? Will they be able to pre order it?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

It will be available on Amazon and there will
\nbe a pre order time for it. The book will publish on Oct. 15th<\/sup>. I\u2019ll
\nhave pre order for a week ahead of that.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is
\nyour third novel; do you have anything in the pipeline for the future? <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, book number 4 is in the works, but that
\nis all I can say for now!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping us in suspense, I like it\u2026..<\/span><\/b><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What
\ngenre do you normally like to read and do you have any favourite authors?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I like to read several different genres. I do
\nread my own genre, women\u2019s fiction (drama). I also like crime fiction and suspense.
\nI like romance if it is the sweet kind and as long as it doesn\u2019t follow the
\ntypical romance outline. Usually I prefer not to read books where romance is
\nthe main story. I don\u2019t usually read fantasy or sci-fi, but that is mostly
\nbecause I\u2019m not really a visual thinker and I prefer that type of story in a
\nmovie so I get the visual. I don\u2019t think I have a favorite author and lately
\nI\u2019ve been discovering that there are a lot of great authors out there that are
\nself-publishing like me and I\u2019m trying to read more of their books.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I love it when I find new authors, and
\nhappily support self -publishing authors. The only trouble is I keep coming
\nacross new authors and this just leads to my TBR pile getting longer!<\/span><\/b><\/span> <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What are
\nyou currently reading, are you enjoying it?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Right now I\u2019m reading No Simple Death by
\nValerie Keogh. So far it\u2019s very good.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Another author I\u2019ve not heard of, will check
\nthis out later, here is a link if anyone wants to check it out for themselves.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

What do
\nyou do in your spare time when you\u2019re not writing or reading?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Spend time with my family, watch movies, play
\nwith my pets.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now just for
\na bit of fun, if you had to pick one what would it be and why?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Book \/
\nebook<\/span><\/b><\/span> Can\u2019t pick. I read both.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hardback
\n\/ paperback<\/span><\/b><\/span> Paperback. It\u2019s easier to hold.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Classic
\nliterature \/ Modern fiction<\/span><\/b><\/span> Modern. I just like it better.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nto relax sometimes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Morning
\nperson \/ Night owl<\/span><\/b><\/span> I don\u2019t think I\u2019m really either.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

City \/
\nCountry<\/span><\/b><\/span> I live in the suburbs and like that
\nbecause there are places to go, but it isn\u2019t so crowded and noisy. But if I had
\nto pick, I guess country.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Tea \/
\nCoffee<\/span><\/b><\/span> Coffee. I\u2019ve just never really been a

A Little bit from the author:<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

I am an author of women’s
\nfiction and a member of the Paulding County Writer\u2019s Guild. I grew up in the
\nmountains of Western North Carolina, and now live in Dallas, Georgia, with my

When not writing, I enjoy
\nspending time with my family (cats and dog included), watching movies, and
\nreading a good book.\u00a0 <\/span>I occasionally make
\nhome-made candy and work on my scrapbooks (I\u2019m woefully behind).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
