NEW BOOK ALERT!!!
My friend, Paula Mowery, just released her debut novella--READ ALL ABOUT IT!
About the author:
Paula Mowery is a pastor’s wife and a homeschool mom. She
has always been an avid reader of Christian fiction. She began writing in the
area of nonfiction creating three Bible studies which were self-published.
However, she crafted fiction stories which she shared with friends and family.
When one of her readers encouraged her to pursue publication, she joined
American Christian Fiction Writers, learning more about the world of fiction.
Her debut work of fiction is a novella published by Harbourlight, a division of
Pelican Book Group – THE BLESSING SEER.

About the book, THE BLESSING SEER:
When God sends Addy a special messenger who challenges her
to step from her comfort zone, she isn’t sure she’s up to the job. She feels
inadequate to take on the task of encouraging others, and when she starts seeing
visions, she worries she’s losing her mind.
Yet, Addy wants only to be used by God, even if that means
seeing visions and risking relationship with family and friends. By stepping
out on a limb, can Addy really accomplish something significant for God? What
affect will her surrender to His will have on those around her? And, what
affect will it have on her own life?
Recently, I've enjoyed working with my editor at Harbourlight. She has taught me so much without trying to change my voice. She made editing enjoyable - that's a big deal.
2. If you could do anything you want, what would it be?
I
would love the opportunity to write and speak full time spurring other
Christian women in their walks with God. Writing and speaking/teaching is my
passion.
3. What’s the most exotic place you’ve traveled?
As of June
16th, I have added Haiti to the places I have been. About 10 years ago I went
on a mission trip to Africa where I had the opportunity to see the Indian Ocean
- beautiful. On this recent trip to Haiti, I was once again seeing the ocean
out one window and a mountain out the other. That view of Haiti seemed exotic
until I went to the villages where the people live - what an eye-opener. We are
so blessed.
4. That sounds fascinating! We just had some speakers in our church who were there. I love to get a feel for where you live. What do you see outside the closest window right now, Paula?
The
closest window looks out onto my screened-in patio which looks into the
backyard lined with trees. I have wicker pillow-padded rockers where my
daughter and I love to sit and read.
5. What do you tell people when they ask “and what do you
do?”
I usually start out with pastor's wife and homeschool mom. I am learning
to say that I'm a writer and deal with the "really?" and surprised
expressions.
6. That is a funny thing, isn't it? Where’s your favorite place to grocery shop?
I'm a
one-stop kind of girl - I shop at Walmart where I can get everything including
prescriptions and get out.
7. What, to you, is worship?
Worship is an attitude that I
can engage in all of the time if I will. I can worship listening and singing
along to my favorite contemporary Christian singers. I worship while
interpreting my husband's sermons for our deaf members. I worship while reading
a Christian-inspired book. I worship when God leads my hand to write a story.
Thank you, Paula, and best wishes with your work.
