LS: What variables led you to write Song of David? How did those variables impact the consistent validation of the work moving forward?ĪH: When I wrote The Law of Moses, David Taggert was such a compelling character that I really wanted to delve a little deeper into his story, and The Song of David was born. I am so glad I wasn’t afraid to go for it. I just jumped off the proverbial cliff and started doggie paddling. I had already written Running Barefoot long before I ever published, but it was the financial mess my family was in, along with my oldest son’s health and the fact that I had a new baby and wanted to stay at home. LS: Has there been one stabilizing force that has kept you motivated to publish? Has that changed since your first book?ĪH: I wish I’d been more aware of what was going on in the self-publishing world, but I was teaching and pregnant and not as plugged in as I could have been. It’s important to me to be honest in my portrayals.

It would be much more difficult for me to write about a big city or a European city and get it right. What about your hometown informed the settings in your novels? Do you think you will always write about small towns?ĪH: I think it’s important to write about things you understand, about settings that you truly know. LS: I’m curious about the setting of many of your novels, particularly the connection between many characters and the town of Levan. Although I’m not opposed to dancing, singing and the rest. Some people dance and sing and talk and have sex. Writing for me has been my most comfortable form of self-expression. I have stories with Snoopy as the main character that my mom held onto. Have you always written? What were those early stories like?ĪH: I have always written. I’d love to hear about the genesis of your writing career.
