Welcome back,
Kimberly. What are some of the spiritual themes you like to write about?
I don’t set out to write spiritual themes into my stories,
but two keep popping up. Fear and forgiveness.
What other books of
yours are coming out soon?
I had a fun anthology release in July called Love in Mistletoe Springs. Island Christmas, The final book in the
Wildflower B and B Romance series releases in October.
If you could spend an
evening with one contemporary person (not a family member of yours), who would
it be and why?
Debbie Macomber because I admire her career and all that she
has accomplished.
What historical
person would you like to meet (besides Jesus) and why?
I would love to ask Adam and Eve a bunch of questions. Hmm,
there would probably be a language barrier.
How can you encourage
authors who have been receiving only rejections from publishers?
Continue to improve your writing and remember that God’s
timing is perfect even though it’s rarely the timing we’d like. I know this
from personal experience. J
Tell us about the
featured book.
Island Dreams is the second book in the Wildflower B and B
Romance series. It takes place on a small Island in the Puget
Sound . Here is the back cover blurb. Piper Hunt arrives on Wildflower Island to develop family property into
an upscale resort knowing this may be her last chance to prove her worth to her
father. With grandiose ideas, she soon finds herself at odds with adjoining
property owner, Chase Grayson. As she begins to appreciate the simplicity of
the island, she struggles to maintain balance between her father's wishes,
preserving the natural beauty of the island, and her attraction for Chase.
Chase Grayson values the peace and quiet ofWildflower Island .
That serenity is threatened when Piper Hunt discloses her plans to develop an
upscale resort that not only butts up to his property, but will turn the island
into a busy tourist destination. In fighting her plans, he also finds himself
fighting his attraction to her. If he doesn't stop her plans for the resort,
his life will be altered forever. If he succeeds, it means he will never see
her again. Can he live with either choice?
Chase Grayson values the peace and quiet of

Sure.
PIPER HUNT HATED TO BE LATE but this time it couldn’t be
helped. She rushed into the general store where the smell of coffee permeated
the air. She’d give anything for a good cup right now. She hoped this place had
a decent brew but was doubtful. She already missed the Starbucks in her Tacoma office building.
She stopped abruptly as her surroundings registered in her
brain. “Whoa.” She’d stepped back in time at least fifty years. Her dad had
warned her about Wildflower
Island , but this was the
kind of place one had to see to believe.
The general store looked like something out of Little House
on the Prairie only somewhat modernized. She looked around the expansive space.
It really wasn’t bad. On one side groceries and sundries were lined up neatly
on old-fashioned wood shelves reminiscent of a simpler time in history, on the
other side a small café.
She squared her shoulders and strode to the right toward the
café. Now to find Chase Grayson. She looked around the room and didn’t spot
anyone that could be described as six foot tall and in his early thirties. She
glanced at her watch. The ferry to the island had been a little late this
morning thanks to a stalled vehicle. The man was supposed to meet her here ten
minutes ago. Had he given up and left? She’d sent him a text, but he hadn’t
replied. Maybe he never saw it.
“I hope so. I’m looking for Chase Grayson. I was supposed to
meet him here.”
“You missed him. He left a few minutes ago. Are you Piper?”
“Yes.”
He held out a piece of paper. “He asked me to give this to
you.”
