I've just read this book and enjoyed it. Did you write the book as it reads, i.e. switching characters throughout or did you write each character separately and then splice them together?
and, also, what's next for you?
I wrote the book in order, so I switched voices at each chapter. I never wrote in two different voices on the same day, because I mentally tried to inhabit the character I was in fully. (This led to some funny post-writing moments.) I just finished a second novel, which Touchstone will publish in May 2017. I'm so excited to get the chance to do this again. Thank you for reading We Are Called to Rise.

I really loved the book & will make it my choice for my book club. I'm also the book buyer for a store I owned for 20 years, so I'll be sure to keep it stocked:) And now I'm looking forward to your next one! Thanks again for all of it:)
