Then Again, Maybe with Susan L. Tuttle q&a

Hello, reader friends! Author Susan L. Tuttle is stopping by for a quick visit as part of a JustRead Publicity Tours blog tour and giveaway celebrating her new release Then Again, Maybe!

 

q&a

Share five of your favorites.

S: outdoor activity – Hiking.
food – Cookies and tacos. 100%
television series – The Murdoch Mysteries
mode of vacationing – Someplace new I can explore and then return to a hotel and indoor plumbing at the end of the day 🙂
phrase – It’s all good.

B: Cookies and tacos forever, I am with you there! 

Do you have a favorite bookish habit?

S: I’m calling this bookish related because books are made up of words, and I LOVE words. Because of that, I tend to gravitate toward household decorations full of bookish or Biblical quotes and encouraging sentiments. Hubby has told me I may have a bit of a problem …

B: Sounds cozy and encouraging. I don’t see any problem with that!

What did you learn or discover about yourself while writing Then Again, Maybe?

S: Oooh, this book centers on forgiveness and reconciliation, and it challenged me again to look at how I handle both of those things with some relationships in my life. There were a few places where I’d be writing dialogue or narrative and I realized I couldn’t write the words if I wasn’t willing to practice them too.

B: Ooo, ooo, ooo… that stings a little bit! Forgiveness is an excellent lesson worth revisiting as often as necessary.

What is your reading style?

S: I read on my Kindle quite a bit because my only reading time tends to be at night, typically when Hubby is already asleep. So having the Paperwhite doesn’t hurt my eyes and allows me to keep the lights off. But I will ALWAYS be a girl who prefers holding a physical book in my hand. Even if I’ve read something on Kindle, if I loved it, I’ll buy the physical copy.

B: Yes! All of this, me too!

What is your next release and/or what are you working on now?

S: My next release is tentatively titled This Time Around and will be the third and final book in the Along Came Love series. It’s Rachael and Evan’s story. Readers will have seen Rachael in the first two books, but Evan first appears on the page in Then Again, Maybe. It’ll release in late 2021.

B: How wonderful!

What’s your writing style?

S: I am a total pantser! I typically know my characters, a small amount of their struggle (though they always surprise me as I write) and the theme. For me it’s the best way to ensure I’m relying on God as I write and not myself. I need him to show up every day and give me the next part of the story. It’s a lot of prayer and always a huge faith-building experience every time. And every time God faithfully provides all I need. These stories are all Him, not me 🙂

B: This control-freak applauds you! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit with us, Susan!
