What’s the book about?
Kevin Sloan is a bad boy who thinks he has the answer to his bleak future, and Sarah Stevenson is the beautiful good girl that Kevin never saw coming. When their paths cross and temptations complicate everything they used to know, they’re forced to decide if the love they never thought they’d have is worth risking everything to keep.

What was your inspiration for From Graves to Gardens?
I had a dream about the boy who turned out to be Kevin. He came downstairs (of course the logistics of the dreamscape made zero sense) and broke down. He was scared to say anything but I got it out of him that he needed help, and I was determined to provide it.

What is the significance of graves and gardens for this book?
Great question! The Biblical idea of God turning graves into gardens is about Him taking what’s dead and bringing it back to life. We see that exact thing happen many times throughout scripture, literally and figuratively, and it directly relates to a very important lesson that Kevin needs to learn. In a very real sense, not having Jesus in your heart is like being dead, but once you’ve accepted Him, you’re alive in a brand new way. It’s pretty awesome! One could even consider it from a completely standpoint: Kevin was dead inside until love livened him up in a way he never expected!

Did you model Sarah or Kevin after anyone in real life?
Nope, they were completely organic creations. 

What is your favorite part of the writing process?
Finding that magical FLOW is the best part. When things just pour out onto the page without effort. You know, when I have so much to put down and none of it needs fixing because it comes out perfectly, and then I finally look up from the screen and notice it got dark out. THAT kinda flow. I wish it was easier for me to tap into.

What’s been your biggest hurdle?
Not finding that flow, haha. Either that, or learning my way through the writing-to-publishing process. I’ve made a lot of mistakes since I started and all I can say is Thank God it’ll be easier for the next book! OR, as one of my stellar editors would agree, it is constantly second guessing my work or business decisions. I’m getting better!

What do you hope people will get out of your story?
A brand new love for Jesus or just a pleasant reminder that when He’s number one in our lives, amazing things happen. And, of course, I just hope they adore Kevin and Sarah’s sweet love as much as I do
