Inspirational romance writer, Paula Vince, answers some interesting questions about her book, Picking Up the Pieces.
What makes Picking up the Pieces special
among your books?
I wanted to show that love and forgiveness
may come even to somebody who’s sure he’s messed up for all time. Renewal and
change of heart can overtake a person who thinks her best days are behind her.
It’s always too soon to say, “I’ve ruined my life.” That’s the main message I
wanted to come across.
My favourite moment was when it won first
prize in the religious fiction section of the International Book Awards in
2011. I like to think this book’s journey isn’t over yet.
What do you remember most about the
journey?
At the time of writing, I felt as if I was
taking a risk, wondering whether readers would find the ending either shocking
or unbelievable. It seemed such an exciting ending to me, I’d been hanging out
for it during the whole time I was writing the book. I was anxious to surprise
anyone who had borne with the characters for so long and grown fond of them. Overwhelmingly,
everybody who gave me feedback seemed to love the way it worked out.
I read her book and was really taken up with its theme of forgiveness...something we all need to share with those who have wronged us. Why not check out her website: www.paulavince.com
