Every good character stole my heart- especially precious, precocious Joseph, who was the first thing Stella allowed herself to love.

It was a time of hardship and sacrifice, yet everyone pulled together. So different from later wars and conflicts. I echo Elaine's sentiments, let's pray that love and kindness will one day overpower fear and hatred. I hope you'll get the chance to read For Such A Time.

I think not only does God have us experience different seasons in life, but also seems to have us learning different themes--kind of like how many writers choose a new word-of-the-year as a New Year's resolution. A theme for me that keeps reoccurring is: God's timing is perfect.Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-60403675423028783472014-04-27T08:07:24.377-07:002014-04-27T08:07:24.377-07:00Kate, I have a similar story of writing for the ma...Kate, I have a similar story of writing for the mainstream market and never finding a 'home.'

I am thankful that era is over but the world has sadly seen to many other similar horrors these past decades since the ending of WWII. Let's pray that mankind can stop practicing hatred and instead share the love and kindness He wants us to.

Thanks for having Kate as a guest to...Hello Elaine. Thanks for having Kate as a guest today. It was a very interesting interview. I truly enjoyed reading it. Hi Kate. Since this is your Debut Novel, does that mean your first manuscript still waits to be published?I love a setting in WW ll. I was only in the 9 and 10 year age but remember it well. My oldest brother served in that war. Also, 3 brother-in-laws(later on), cousins, uncles, and many friends. Some never came home. My brother is now 89 in 2 months. One of the brother-in-laws even had pictures of Hitler's wife and sister. You see their company had taken that home as a base. Said they were nice and not liking what Hitler was doing.We moved to Houston, Texas for my daddy to work in the shipyards. It was a time of sacrifices for many Americans and they all, women and men did whatever they could to help.This book sounds really good and I have already tried to win it, but no luck yet. Thanks for the give-away.

Focusing on current world events, I would say For Such a Time's publication is timely. I love the story of Esther and recently reread and studied that book of the Bible, so I am especially looking forward to this modern story. Isn't it just like God to strengthen your faith, Kate, through the writing of this novel? I know that many people will be blessed as they read it.

I believe Christian writers write for 2 reasons: so that the body of believers will have something decent to read and to reach those who don't know Christ through their stories. Would love to win the book. pat at ptbradley dot comPatricia Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382033674042021556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-77001086205505727152014-04-26T14:20:18.826-07:002014-04-26T14:20:18.826-07:00Amen, Connie.
