FUTURE OF MY HEART - LoRee Peery - One Free Ebook

Welcome. LoRee. Tell us how much of yourself you write into your characters.

I believe it’s an intrinsic transfer, but aside from a heroine “seeing” what I’ve experienced, I don’t consciously write myself in. however, my relationship with the Lord is bound to come out.

 

What is the quirkiest thing you have ever done?

Probably too many of those things. The one that popped into my head was a picture of me at church camp with one of my girls. We’d decorated tee shirts, and I put mine on upside down—legs through the arm holes, and tied the hem in a knot at my waist.

 

When did you first discover that you were a writer?

In the 1990s, a magazine published my testimony. I kept writing about my dad’s unsolved homicide in an attempt to come to terms with it. My first experimental novel was about a girl going home to solve her father’s “accidental” death. That story remains in a tote.

 

Tell us the range of the kinds of books you enjoy reading.

My first choice is romantic suspense. I’ll read most anything except erotica or horror.

 

How do you keep your sanity in our run, run, run world?

My body no longer runs. I’ll catch myself sitting in my desk chair too long, and then feel it in the neck and shoulders, wishing for an oil can to work out the kinks. I’ll realize I’ve skipped a meal. At night, I relax in my chair next to my hubby. I’ll read, write in my journal, work a word search puzzle. In quiet moments, I read the Bible.

 

How do you choose your characters’ names?

I have a list of names that I like. Then I’ll search the literal meaning and try to find an applicable Bible verse. I’ve noticed that most of my heroines have names that end in –y or –ie.

 

What is the accomplishment that you are most proud of?

My adult children. Their talents, the way they interact with their families. I especially love the way the men take on household chores and do more with their children. I grew up with parents wearing themselves out just trying to make a good wage, and that old adage “children should be seen, not heard.”

 

If you were an animal, which one would you be, and why?

I’ve never been asked this question. I have an affinity for wolves. The whole family cracks up when I howl with one of my brother’s dogs. I can get louder than that little schnauzer.

 

What is your favorite food?

I used to say chocolate. But there is nothing more satisfying than a fresh salad that includes protein and fruit. Chocolate for dessert.

 

What is the problem with writing that was your greatest roadblock, and how did you overcome it?

My current WIP. I had a good start and then pain interfered. For some unknown reason other than I’m being Spirit led, psalms of lamentation and praise have been pouring out of me. Especially in the wee hours of the morning when I can’t sleep.

 

Tell us about the featured book.

Future of My Heart is book #2 in Hearts Across Time. It’s a forward-in-time time travel where the spoiled rancher’s daughter from book #1 yearns for anything modern. She kept raising her voice to be heard as I was writing the first story, Cowboy Just in Time.

 

Please give us the first page of the book.

Psalm 138:8 ~ The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever.

Washington County, Nebraska, 1891

Phoebe slipped out the back door of the ranch house and eased it shut. She lifted the hem of her skirt and flew down the knoll to the chicken coop. The breeze she created pulled hair from its knot and whispered against her neck like a bothersome spidery web in the barn.

On level ground, she glanced over her shoulder and caught the curtain flutter against the porch window. She went ahead and lifted the hook on the wood frame of the gate made of woven wire. Hot moisture built in the back of her throat. How dare Mandy Totten spy from the house?

She ruined my life. Now she has the nerve to peek at me through the window? Let her guess what I’m doing with the chickens.

Phoebe annihilated the hot tears trying to form and pushed inside the pen. Hens scattered as she re-latched the gate.

Take a breath. Hold it. Don’t inhale with your nose.  Focus on the reason you’re here. She stepped gingerly. It was hard to get beyond the smell of the chicken coop, but she had no choice.
