Molly, describe yourself for our visitors.
I have always been described as a crusader, and if there is a cause out there that I believe in — like pro-life — I’m the one holding the picket sign. Besides being a sign-holder, I like kids, family, all kinds of music and the Lord — most of all.
How do you find time to connect with God?
We talk constantly — forth and sometimes back. I need to exercise and lose weight, so I sing and praise the Lord mentally while on the treadmill. I will also sing aloud when I get enough wind to do it.
Tell us about your journey to publication.
I was teaching kindergarten, and one day I came into the teacher’s lounge and started talking to one of the teachers. She told me that she was taking a course in creative writing by correspondence. I remember thinking that I would like to do that. And so I did. After numerous rejections, I sold a short story for young children to a magazine. Then I met a published author, and she told me to stop writing for children and write romantic stories for adult women. I took her advise and finally sold For Always, my first Christian romance novel, to Zondervan in 1986. Soon afterwards, I sold The Rogue’s Daughter to Zondervan. Both are out of print now. But The Rogue’s Daughter will be coming again either in 2008 or 2009 — this time from Tsaba House.

The Winter Pearl was published by Steeple Hill in trade paperback in 2004. On February 1, 2007, it will be coming out again in mass market paperback and available at Wal Mart, Barnes and Noble, Amazon and other places. The Winter Pearl is a long historical and takes place in Colorado in 1888. Here’s the plot.
After her aunt dies, Honor McCall must decide whether to run away from home or risk being ravish by her alcoholic uncle. She runs, and the adventure of her life begins.

How did you come up with ideas for your current release?
We visited Colorado. It seldom snows in Texas, and I fell in love with the snow and the state. Then I tried to image what Colorado must have been like in the 1880′s.
What’s next for you?
Another long historical, Sanctuary, is being published by Tasba House in trade paperback in September 2007. Sanctuary beings in France in 1740, ends in Scotland and is the first of three long historical novels about the Huguenots. It is my hope that those who liked The Winter Pearl will also like Sanctuary.
