Author, Susan Kay Box Brunner and I might have been girlhood
friends because we ran in glancing circles, shared mutual friends, attended the
same high school—she married the brother of a young man with whom I entertained
a passing fancy—she knew my brother, but never me, except through
reputation. Despite all of these
circumstances, we actually met only a few months ago when I attended my first meeting
of the Grove City Writers’ Group, a local organization of writers, editors, and
reviewers of which she is a member in long standing. Ours is a supportive group. In addition to sponsoring and promoting young
writers, we share information and resources, as well as organize group book
fairs and other writing-related programs.
We also do our best to show up at special events benefiting one another
as individuals.
Susan’s
next event is a book signing and reading on November 9, 2012 from 6:30pm to
8:30pm at Eternity Books & Gifts located in the Grove City Nazarene Church,
4770 Hoover Road, Grove City, Ohio 43123.
I am also happy to lend my support to Susan in her writing efforts by
featuring her as my guest author this week.
Tell us…who are
you…where do you live…what do you do on a daily basis?
My name is Susan Kay Box Brunner and I am a Christian Author
living in Grove City, Ohio. I write,
read, pray, and walk daily.
What do you like to
do when you aren’t writing and/or promoting your book/books?
I participate as a teacher, leader, and substitute listener in
the worldwide, non-denominational club to encourage the physical, mental, and spiritual
welfare of children known as AWANA, an acronym for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, a phrase
taken from the Bible.
How did it happen
that you wanted to become a writer?
Fictional people, events, happenings, along with life, came
to mind and I had to write.
What advice do you
have for aspiring, or new, writers?
Never give up on your dreams. Seek God’s will, libraries, and skilled people.
In what genre is your
most recent book classified? What is the
source of its title?
Inspirational romance, mystery, and adventure. Title source:
Character’s first name and happenings.
Give us a short
excerpt of it.
Sara’s Adventures: The
stewards gave quick precise directions for crashing. Sara felt sick. Her stomach rolled and her head felt
light. Sara glanced up, fingering for
the oxygen mask, but the mask was nowhere in sight. She felt a strong hand on her neck. A mask was shoved over her face. The voice said, “Breathe.” Sara noticed it was Claudia as her mind
floated.
How is your book
different than others of this genre?
Although fiction, it could be real in anyone’s life. Both Karen and Sara draw you into their lives
as extended families.
What inspired you to
write it?
In 5th grade, substitute teacher, Mrs. Cornilish read to her
students daily. The stories would come
alive. It burned a desire deep within me
to story tell.
Do you have any works
in progress, and if so, give us an overview?
Tit for Tat: Individuals
cross paths through family, friends, and business. They are an eclectic group. They are faced with circumstances which leave
them only with God to lean on…but do they?
How will they respond? With
back-biting and selfishness? Will old
habits remain?
The Cottage: Who
would have thought that five-some friendship fledging out of a grade school
cafeteria in Richmond, Virginia, would have life-long impact? Did life go as expected? Did they all stay best friends?
What else do you want
our readers to know about you, or your current book?
I enjoy speaking engagements, book readings/signings with
audience participation. My next book
reading and signing will be held on November 9, 2012 at Eternity Books &
Gifts located in the Grove City Nazarene Church, 4770 Hoover Road Grove City,
Ohio 43123. Time: 6:30-8:30 PM.
