I truly enjoyed my author interview with literary fiction writer Jeanne Blasberg. She is a best selling author and writing teacher. She recently published the literary fiction Daughter of a Promise, which is a biblical retelling of David and Bathsheba. I am so excited to read this one, and it is definitely on my TBR. This is the final book in her trilogy that began with Eden and then the second in the series was The Nine.
As a writer she brings strong female characters to the forefront and beautifully details her main characters self-discovery journey through a letter to her unborn son... a journey that includes the corporate world, feminism, love, and loss during a time that changed the world as we know it. Though she has always been a writer, she now finds herself as a lettuce farmer, finding her creativity off the paper and in nature. This interview is definitely one to listen to. You can purchase her book through her website http://jeanneblasberg.com

Today’s historical fiction romance author interview was with Cheryl L.G. Trent. She was my next on my writers on the writing process series. Cheryl is a neurodivergent historian and writer of historical fiction. Cheryl discusses her journey into writing, driven by a deep passion for uncovering lesser-known historical facts and bringing authenticity to her stories. Her book "Daughter's Fortune," set in 1688, features a female sea captain and a diverse crew, highlighting the lives of outsiders. Cheryl also introduces Kindle Vella, a platform for serial fiction, explaining its benefits for writers, including financial support, confidence boosts, and creative freedom. She emphasizes the importance of artistic integrity and how Kindle Vella has allowed her and other indie authors to reach new audiences and explore innovative storytelling ideas.
She also has a few other works on Kindle Vella, including one about Medusa, and we are going to talk a little bit about Vella and how it is accessible to the modern reader.

This Women’s Literature author interview with Jane L. Rosen was special because she wrote my mom’s favorite read of 2023, On Fire Island. Jane L. Rosen, a contributor to the New York Times, Huffington Post, Redbook, and Tablet, splits her time between NYC and Fire Island with her husband and three daughters. Her debut novel, Nine Women, One Dress, was so successful it was translated into ten languages. Her second novel, Eliza Starts a Rumor, has been optioned by NBC. Her most recent book, On Fire Island, is a favorite of my mom's for 2023. She also has another beach read coming out in June 2024, Seven Summer Weekends.
