Hi Elaine,
Thanks for asking! Contrition is my first book, fiction or otherwise. I can’t really explain how I got the idea for it, but I think it started with my desire to find a great place to write. It seemed like joining a cloister would enable a writer to create away from the distractions of the world. Of course, that's exactly what made research a challenge: cloistered nuns intentionally separate themselves from the world to focus on prayer.
For more details on my motivation and how I did the research, check out these articles:

Thanks again and have a great weekend,
