Which chords do you hope your
romantic novels strike with readers?
I was showing in Texting Mr. Right,
that a Christian couple can fall in
love, and run into road blocks like
anyone else, but when they turn to
God and trust Him, He can sort out
their difficulties.
I try to share the salvation plan in all
of my books. That might turn some
readers off, but I feel writing is a gift
the Lord gave me and knowing Him is
the most important step a person
can make.
Give us a hint about the plot in your
newly released novella -
Winter Wonderland. I wanted to
write a story about downtown
Detroit, during the early 50’s when
there was so much happening in the
country. This is a special story; WWII
had ended the economy was
booming, and many people left their
home to move to Detroit for a job in
the auto industry.
I was able to bring it into my
story.
This story holds a lot of Biblical
truths, among the romance and
history. It starts in August when the
Willis family move to Detroit and the
focus is on Ruth, a loving daughter
who gets a secretarial position at the
well known J. L. Hudson Department
Store, downtown Detroit.
She is career minded, until she meets
Clint, and things change. She has
never seen snow, and can’t wait for it
to fall. The story concludes at
Christmas and focuses on all the fun
activities during that time in the
motor city.
Thank you Diane for your time.

The research about Detroit is true;
but the people are fiction, the plot is
fiction. There are scenes about the
couple helping out at an area
mission, and that's true. My
husband’s grandfather and wife
founded that in the thirties and
.
