Tell us a little about yourself. I am the author of The Prayers of Agnes Sparrow. Mom to three great kids, two adorable grandsons and a parakeet who thinks she's a chicken. I like baseball, cream soda, needle arts but not elevators.
What was your motivation behind this project? To tell a story that was both fun and poignant.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? Well that's between them and God. But one person did tell me that Vidalia (one of the characters) said something she needed to hear.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? I think I was mostly impacted by the love and support of friends through the process who told me to keep going.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? M*A*S*H, Hemingway, Norman Rockwell, Eudora Welty, Emily Dickinson
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: The Prayers of Agnes Sparrow has received the Pulpwood Queens book club--largest in the country--seal of approval and is their bonus book selection for November, 2009
