Welcome, Ginny. If you could have dinner with one person from today or history (except Jesus) who would it be?
I would choose to have dinner with my father, who passed away several years ago. He was such an incredible man, a real entrepreneur who launched several successful businesses before suffering a debilitating stroke in his mid-forties. He was paralyzed for over twenty years before he breathed his last. I miss him!
Please tell us a little about your novel, The Most Famous Illegal Goose Creek Parade.
I'm so excited about this book! It's the first in a new series. Here's the back cover description:
In this first book of the Tales from the Goose Creek B&B, you'll fall in love with a small town that feels like coming home. Its quirky characters and their many shenanigans will make you laugh out loud as they touch a place in your heart.
Even though retirement is still three years away, Al Richardson is counting the days. He anticipates many enjoyable years in which every day feels like Saturday. But Al's wife, Millie, has different plans for their retirement. When she learns that a Victorian-era home is up for sale, Millie launches a full-blown campaign to convince Al that God's plan for them is to turn that house into a B&B.
But a B&B won't be the only change for the small Kentucky town. A new veterinarian has hung up her shingle, but she's only got one patient--the smelly dog belonging to her part-time receptionist. And sides are being taken in the issue of the water tower, which needs a new coat of paint...but no one can agree who should paint it.
The situation is coming to a head. Who could have imagined a town protest over a water tower? And who would believe it could culminate in an illegal parade?
Get lost in a novel that reminds you why you love reading.
What takeaway value do you want your readers to have?
This book is pure entertainment. I want readers to laugh and feel good. But of course there are gems of wisdom here and there, and times when I hope they'll say, "Aw! I love that!"
