This month’s guests are both best-selling, award-winning authors who are renowned for their diligent research and compelling stories.
Jill Eileen Smith was inspired to write Biblical fiction after reading Two from Galilee by Marjorie Holmes. In our interview, Jill shares her long journey to publication and the challenges of researching Biblical history.
Her latest novel, A Passionate Hope, tells the story of Hannah. Jill’s depth of characterization is superb–she even had me feeling sorry for Peninnah!
Sarah Sundin writes about the Drama, Daring, and Romance of World War II. Two of her novels were named to Booklist’s 101 Best Romances of the Last Ten Years.
While Sarah and I chatted, her Labrador retriever decided to be part of the show. You can see Daisy’s tail wagging as she passes behind Sarah’s chair on her way to the kitchen . . . to get into the trash!
