Novelists Unwind Interviews with Liz Johnson & Jane Kirkpatrick

Liz Johnson shares the story behind the story of A Dazzle of Diamonds, the latest novel in her popular Georgia Coast Romance Series. The story, set in Savannah, is rooted in history and family pride as the protagonist delves into the past to clear his family’s name from scandal.

Before writing her novel, Liz traveled to Savannah. She shares a few anecdotes about her experiences as we talk about Sherman’s March, lost Civil War treasure, and the richness of Savannah’s lore.

Liz is a New York Times best-selling author, a Christy finalist, and a two-time Carol Award finalist. For her next series, she’ll be returning to Prince Edward Island–the setting for her previous Prince Edward Island Dream Series–to write about the Ross brothers and a small fishing village called Victoria by the Sea.

Jane Kirkpatrick talks about her latest novel, Something Worth Doing, the fictional biography of Abigail “Jenny” Scott Duniway who was involved in six campaigns to win Oregon women the right to vote. Beyond that distinction, Abigail was at various times in her life a caregiver, a newspaper columnist, a novelist, and a business owner. For a time, she ran a school from her home. All of this while raising six children and suffering from health issues.

Jane has written several novels based on real-life women from the 19th and early 20th centuries. In our interview, we talk about the qualities that caused these seemingly ordinary women to accomplish the extraordinary despite both social restrictions and personal challenges. I so appreciated Jane’s thoughts on this topic–be sure to listen to the interview to hear what she had to say.
