Just two days until Convincing Lou releases tomorrow, August 16th! Here’s the back cover blurb:
Ellie Lou Williams will do just about anything to save her ranch, even going undercover as a man to round up a fella who is late to his own wedding. The reward will more than cover the money she owes the bank and solve all her problems.
Caleb Dawson agrees to one final job as a deputy US Marshal before he starts his new life away from the trail and tracking criminials. What he isn’t counting on is a mysterious bounty hunter who’s determined to undermine his every step.
Will one reach their goal first? Or will they learn to lean on God and work together?
In honor of its upcoming release, here are new questions I asked for a fresh new interview with the author, Jodie Wolfe:
Q. What was your favorite chapter book as an elementary age child?
A. Definitely the Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Q. What was your favorite book as a teenager?
A. It’s too hard to narrow it down to a particular book, but probably the Trixie Beldon series.
Q. What is your current favorite book?
A. That’s difficult to say. Two favorites that come to mind are: If the Boot Fits by Karen Witemeyer and A Lady’s Guide to Marvels and Misadventure by Angela Bell.
Q. When did you first know you wanted to be an author?
A. When I was in grade school and started writing stories about my dog.
Q. What does a typical day look like for you?
A. It depends on which stage of the writing/marketing process I’m working on. Recently, I’ve been working on finishing the rough draft of a new book while also marketing for a book release. I try to juggle all that, plus social media posts and taking care of our home too. A lot of times, the home suffers if I’m in the midst of deadlines.
Q. Has your writing been influenced by any other author? If so, which author, and how did that author influence your writing?
A. The two biggest ones would have been Janette Oke and Lori Wick. Their writing style spoke to me and probably influenced the way I write too.
Q. So far, all of your books have been set in the Old West. Are you planning more books set in the Old West, or will you move to a different setting?
A. I actually have a book I wrote that’s set in a lighthouse on the east coast. At some point, I’ll go back and edit it and see about getting it published and write two more in that series. For now, I’ll be taking a detour for a while and will be writing about southcentral PA. Eventually, I plan to write a series set in Texas too.
Q. What’s your favorite thing about writing Historical Fiction?
A. I love the time period — particularly the 19th century. I love researching and learning new things that I can include in stories.
Q. Do you think you’ll ever write another genre? If so, what genre would you like to try?
A. I have dabbled in children’s books — but those have only been for my six grandchildren. I also have written Bible studies, but as of now, they aren’t published.
Q. Now that the Burrton Springs Brides Series is finished, what’s next for you?
A. This isn’t finalized yet, but here’s the working copy of the back cover blurb to Abigail’s Pursuit, which is the book I just finished writing. It still needs to go through the editing process, but I’m excited about my ‘Time to Come Home’ Series that will be set in Shippensburg, PA.
Abigail’s Pursuit working back cover blurb:
Abigail Stewart is on the verge of losing everything she holds dear to her heart. When the man who is responsible for the death of her brother offers to help, she, at first, refuses. How can she work with her enemy? What’s to stop him from betraying her?
Wounded during the Civil War, Daniel Thompson must come to grips with making amends and fulfilling his friend’s dying request. He longs to find the family who told him to return, with hopes of seeking forgiveness. Can two wounded hearts find their way back home?
