Stephanie
Prichard – The Fussy Writer
Please
welcome Stephanie to the Mine—can I hear some applause? She’s talking about
writing Stranded with her husband and
her life as an author. Now don’t wander off…stick around for the great
interview. Oh, and leave a comment…you may just win a copy of her book.
Now,
let’s get started!
RB:
Hi, Stephanie, welcome to the Mine. I hear you wrote a book. ;) Can you tell us
about it?
SP:
I co-authored Stranded: A Novel with
my husband, Don, an experience with an interesting beginning. Because Don is
dyslexic, he is not a reader and dislikes writing, but driving to and from work
one week he thought about what might be one of the worst things a man could
face that would severely test his faith in God. He developed the idea into a
story and began to write it down in his spare time. Five months later, he suffered
a stroke and lost all ability to read. However, he was so excited about his
budding novel that he continued to work on it and eventually learned how to
read again. Over the next several years he rewrote it four times, then invited
me to join him.
RB: What an
awesome story. He sounds like an amazing man. It sounds as if he had a burning
desire to see his book come to life…as I say it. How did you become involved
and did co-authoring affect the book that much?
