Paulette, tell us about your writing
journey?
My writing journey started in 2007 with my first
non-fiction book, That Was Then, This is
Now which was published in 2008. I would have to confess, I’m a late
bloomer when it comes to writing. I didn’t grow up with a passion or desire to
write or to become an author. In fact, I didn’t have any author friends, who I
could get words of wisdom from, or advice. But with a nudge from the Lord and
plenty of experiences about life, I accepted the challenge and begin writing.
Nine years later, I’ve written six books and I write in various genres
including Christian nonfiction, fiction and a children books.
My spiritual roots enables me to write books that inspire, encourage and
strengthen readers, while the desire to write fiction has enabled me to write
stories that entertain.
Paulette tells why do you write?
As an inspirational and fiction writer, I write to
inspire and empower readers. I write because I feel I have message to share
with readers not only to entertain readers but to help them grow spiritually. I
love to mix real life stories into my fiction. Although each story is unique,
we experience some of the same feelings, situations and challenges in life in
which the reader can identify.
With the ability to craft fiction books, it gives me
the opportunity to live through each character. I’ve been blessed to write in
several different genres: Christian fiction, nonfiction and children. Although
each genre is unique in their own way, I enjoy each one. Developing a craft for
writing is an ongoing process. I’ve been able to gleam from so many others. I
read books which help me learn the craft as well.
When I pen a non-fiction book, I can go deep into my
soul and the soul of the reader. My non-fiction books come from my own personal
life experiences, research and biblical studies. I try to connect with readers
in a place where the words in the book can leap off the pages and bring about a
spiritual change as well as spiritual growth.
Everyone needs to be inspired, empowered and strengthen in every area of
their lives and this is where my books are able to touch the readers.
Please tell us about your newest release
and where the idea came from?
My work in progress is my first inspirational fiction
romance novel, Secret
Places Revealed. I love reading romance books and writing
a story that brings two people together for the sake of finding love was
something I thoroughly enjoyed. Aaron Blackman is not looking for love, in fact
the only thing he has on his agenda is adding to his Real Estate Development
portfolio, while Simone Herron has her own internal battles with trust and
abandonment. One decision on her part leads her to meet the eligible bachelor
who is smitten by her, but has made a vow to himself not to get involved.
I’ve always wanted to write fiction and the idea behind
Secret Places Revealed came from a desire to write my own love story.
Synopsis
A broken man, a woman on the run, a love that won’t be
denied.
Single—and very content--real estate developer Aaron
Blackman is determined not to be in another relationship. He’s experienced
enough drama to last a lifetime. The only thing garnering his attention now is
his growing business. And he plans to keep it that way. Then Simone Herron
waltzes into his life, beautiful and confident. Fighting to keep his promise to
himself—to remain single-- he soon discovers that when it comes to love, some
promises must be broken.
After losing her fiancé in an untimely death, Simone
Herron relocates. She desperately needs to put the past behind her and start a
new chapter in her life. While love is the farthest thing from her mind, she
experiences an attraction to the handsome Aaron Blackman that frightens her.
She's built a wall around her heart, but can she find the strength and courage
she needs to welcome love again? To do so, she must conquer her fears and allow
God to put all of her broken pieces back to together.
What is the single biggest challenge you
faced when writing a book?
My single biggest challenge I face when writing is
staying focus. With other distractions pulling for my time it takes sheer
determination not to stray away from my goals and deadlines.
