Love Finds You In February Contest! Multiple Authors!
Multi-Author “Love Finds You” Giveaway!!
Be sure to read this carefully and follow the instructions, or you won’t be entered in the drawing. This isn’t a typical ‘just leave a comment’. Be sure to leave your email addy or a way to contact you, as well.
We’re giving away copies of 9 books…and not all to one person….we’ll have multiple winners. Here are the rules:
We’re not doing ‘canned’ author interviews. You’ll be doing the interviewing.

You’ll want to be sure to bookmark the page and come back often or have all comments sent to your email so you can see the answers. If someone has already asked Author #1 & 2 a question, you must pick a different author. All questions will be moderated before posting so no inappropriate questions are posted.
All six authors will be posting this same contest on their blogs. You can visit each one by clicking on the blog link listed with each book/author below. That way you can ask a different author a question on each blog, if you’d like, and increase your chances of winning.

Love Finds You in
“Love Finds You in Hershey, Pennsylvania is a swirl of chocolaty goodness mixed with multi-layered characters and a touch of surprise. In this lively tale of a klutzy-yet-fiery heroine with a will to succeed, Cerella D. Sechrist creates a delicious story of forgiveness, grace and sweet romance. Highly recommended.” -Julie Carobini, author of Truffles by the Sea and Sweet Waters.
Chef Sadie Spencer has learned that in life, as well as in food, sour balances sweet. After returning to her deliciously charming hometown of Hershey with a young daughter in tow, Sadie has managed to rise from the ashes following the death of her husband, the passing of her mother, and the 
dissolution of her career as a TV chef. With
the help and encouragement of her best friend, Jasper, she opens a restaurant and looks forward to savoring the sweet side of life. That is, until a handsome Russian
entrepreneur arrives in town, apparently intent on opening up his own restaurant in direct competition to hers. Sadie becomes obsessed with honing the one skill she’s never had – creating desserts –
to keep up with her adversary, and in the process, she finds a love that’s simply icing on the cake.

Oh this is so cool! I’m not sure if I’m doing this right but my question is why did you choose Bridal Veil as the setting for you book?
xoxo~ Renee
steelergirl83(at)gmail(dot)com
Hi there!
I was wondering, what is your favourite part of writing novels?
Thanks!
Kim
lonebanana(at)msn(dot)com
Hi Miralee!
I was wondering, how do you come up with your story ideas?
Thanks!
Kim
lonebanana(at)msn(dot)com
Yipee!! You did it perfectly, Renee and you’re the first one!
I chose Bridal Veil because it not only worked for my story line, but mostly due to the fact that I live in the Columbia River Gorge and Bridal Veil is only about 45 miles away. I’m very familiar with the area and some of the history, and made connections with a wonderful local historian who provided invaluable help with authentic details.
Blessings and good luck on your entry! Miralee
Kim, could you let us know which author you’d like to have answer the question “what is your favorite part of writing novels?” Since you asked me one about coming up with story ideas, you’ll need to direct the other one to one of the other 5 gals. Go ahead and post another comment real quick and let us know who you’d like to answer.
Hi Kim,
Coming up with story ideas is something that’s FINALLY been getting easier for me. I really struggled with it early on, but the more I use my creativity, the easier the ideas seem to come. Sometimes I get them from news items, or brainstorming with a friend. Other times a character in a current novel will beg to have their own story and I do a spin off.
Bridal Veil came as a result of a short brainstorming session with Stephen Bly, well known western author, who gave me the idea of a note with the word “Yes” on it being dug up in a flower bed after being hidden there in an old box. The rest of the story came after.
Thank you for your question, and good luck on your entry! Be sure to go to the other blogs and ask the other gals questions to increase your chances of winning.
Miralee
whoops!! sorry! I didn’t think the first question had come through!! :S Sorry!!!
I will ask Tricia Goyer the first question.
Tricia, what is your favourite part of writing novels?
I hope this one is right! 🙂
Thanks!

Hi there! My favorite part of writing novels is entering the story world. As I dig deep into the characters and time period, it’s like traveling through time. I get to live different lives during different time periods. And the cool part is I get to take readers with me!
Tricia
This question is for Cerella.
How many manuscripts did you write and rejections did you receive before your first book was finally accepted for publishing?
Cynthia

Dear Sandra,
why do you choose contemporary fiction instead of another genre?

Cerella,
What made you choose Hershey, Pennsyvlania as the setting for your book?
I’d Like the chance to win this book. It looks good.
Thanks

I just read that I had to ask you a question for my chance to win this book. Well here it goes.
I’ve noticed Tricia that yov’e written a book with a couple of people now and I know it works differently for each project. How did the writing work for this book? How did you come up for the idea for this book. Love the cover.
Thanks for entering me in the contest.

Oh, Miralee;
I have a quesiton for you. I’ve tried to figure out how to enter the contest to enter for your book Love Finds you in Oregon.
My question for you is this What research did you have to do to come up with the idea for this book? Was it harder to write the Oregon book since you had already written a Love Finds you book.
Thanks for entering me in for the your Oregon book Miralee.
Sincerely,
Nora

Hi, Martha! That’s actually a question I’ve never been asked before, so thanks for asking.
Despite the fact that I’m a bit of an “old-fashioned girl” in many respects, I think I might be a little too goofy for historicals. I did try to write one once, and it ended up being a sort of train wreck. Remember the old Mel Brooks movie, Men in Tights? It was a comedic romp based on Robin Hood, and (sorry, Mr. Brooks, but …) it was really bad. My stab at historical was a bit of a Men in Tights. 🙂
With contemporary romance, I get to be as goofy as I want, and it just seems to work.
Thanks for stopping in, Martha!
Blessings,
Sandie
Tricia, I’ve read your WWII novels and learned so much about one of my favorite time periods. Could you share how you do your research? Do you visit other countries, do library research, interviews?
Cynthia,
It’s been a 13-year process of submissions and rejections for me, so the rejection letters were countless! I actually pitched the bulk of them not too long ago. A cursory count of the ones I had on hand was something like 60, but I didn’t save each one over the years. I’ve written 5 completed manuscripts (not counting LFY Hershey!), but these were all historical novels that were rejected by publishers. Love Finds You in Hershey was the first contemporary, romantic comedy I’d written although I’d toyed with similar ideas in story form over the years. I’d love to write another historical at some point, but it was a lot of fun to switch gears after so many years and write a light, foodie comedy! 🙂
Patty,
I live in southern Pennsylvania, just under an hour’s drive from Hershey. When I decided to write the book, I knew I wanted to go with a food theme, and from there, I narrowed it to a focus on desserts. With Hershey being so near to me and the fact that I’ve always loved the town, it seemed like the perfect setting for Sadie and her dessert disasters. Chocolate is VERY inspiring, after all. =D It really is a truly sweet place – it has a tourism factor with Chocolate World and HersheyPark, but there are so many other things that make it a lovely town like the Hershey Gardens, ZooAmerica and the Hershey Theatre. You get such a nice mix there of culture, quaint charm and chocolate. 🙂
When you held your book for the first time, what was your first thought?
Hope I did this right!
caseymh18(at)gmail(dot)com
I have a question for Tricia if I could:)
My question for you is,
How did you get the idea for your story? I think the plot sounds really neat and wondered if you had read a story or something. Thanks!
esterried[at]yahoo[dot
My question for Miralee,
Is Bridal Veil really a town or is it a made up name? I really like the name!!
Thanks!!
esterried[at]yahoo[dot]com
For Cerella,
Do you like to cook? I know your book is about a former TV chef and now she runs her own restaurant so I wondered if you are a chef(cook) yourself:)
esterried[at]yahoo[dot]com
For Loree,
Have you ever been to Alaska? If so, is that where you came up with your story town?
Thanks!!
esterried[at]yahoo[dot]com
Remember anyone entering….read the comments and be sure you’re asking a question of someone who hasn’t answered one yet. Ocieanna and Loree are both open for questions on my blog. Once they both get a question, you can start over again with the rest of us!
This is fun and we so appreciate you taking part!
Miralee Ferrell
Hi Charity!
I do enjoy cooking! I wouldn’t call myself a *chef*, but I come from a long tradition of outstanding female cooks. (However, between my two siblings and myself, my brother is the best and most innovative cook among us. My sister is the baker – she can make cookies that simply MELT in your mouth. I’m good at using up whatever I have on hand and creating a new recipe on the spot – I inherited that ability from my mother, who is fabulous at creating last-minute meals from whatever she has in the pantry.) I just love everything about food – its history, its science, and especially, the art of it. The reason I chose a chef as a main character was because when I was planning the story, I asked myself what kind of story I’d most like to read if I was the reader…and I determined anything with food as a theme would be a recipe for success in my book. 🙂

Miralee Ferrell
Hi Nora,
Researching this book was actually much easier for me than what I did on Last Chance, CA. I had to fly to Sacramento for that one, and drive 4 hrs up into the mtns to reach the old town site. But Bridal Veil is only 45 miles from my home.
I first researched the town online, and found a book that had been written a few years ago full of historical facts, memories, journal entries, interviews, etc., from people who once lived in Bridal Veil. I tracked down the author and discovered he lived in nearby Portland, OR. We met and he took my huband & I on a tour of the area that used to be Palmer and Bridal Veil (the town logging/mill towns close to each other that both figure in the book). I bought a copy of his book and stayed in close touch with him with any questions that arose.
I also had a source closer to home…my great grandfather lived and worked in Bridal Veil during the time my book was set. I wrote him in to the book using his own name, Art Gibbs, as a strong secondary character….also using his dog and his occupation.
Casey,
You asked a question about holding the book for the first time in your hands…but you didn’t direct it to a particular author. Ocieanna hasn’t received a question yet, would you like her to take this one?
Miralee
Charity,
Bridal Veil was a very real, booming logging and mill town for many years. The mill shut down in the 1960’s and people slowly began to leave. Now there is only a small Post Office and a few houses on the edge of what used to be the town, and a church. The post office is the second smallest in the U.S., and ships thousands of hand stamped, special postmarked wedding invitations that brides send, just so they can have the “Bridal Veil” postmark on it.
There is a real Bridal Veil Falls on the edge of town, and it all sits on the bank of the Columbia River, about 45 miles from where I live.
Miralee
Oops, guess I was confused, a pretty common occurance. 🙂 Sure, I will ask Oceianna that question.
When you held that first book in your hands what was your first thought?
Hope this counts since I already asked a question of Oceianna on her blog
caseymh18(at)gmail(dot)com
Casey, it’s perfectly fine to ask questions on each blog…in fact, we encourage that, so you’re doing great. Ocieanna will answer your question as soon as she finds it, I’m sure. We all are popping over to the other blogs trying to keep up with all the questions being asked. This is FUN! All of you gals are asking such great questions!
Miralee
I have your book love finds you in Bridal Veil, OR
I’d love to win Love finds you in Last Chance, CA
This question is for Miralee:
I see you have authored two of the books in this series; Do you have any more that will be coming out in this series?
And Sandra, I think you do a good job of it, at least the one I read by you, I loved!!
martha(at)lclink(dot)com
Hi Miralee:
What’s the name of your puppy and what kind of dog is it?

Abi,
Great question and one I’m not free to announce just yet, but let’s say I’m in the contract process of another book….if it gets settled by the end of the wk, I’ll be sharing the title then. Thanks so much for asking!!
Miralee
Shelly,
I have a medium haired Chihuahua, and she’s a 5 lb doll…she’s 9 months old, is wheat colored, and doesn’t have the huge eyes or slick coat…and a super fun, loving, protective personality. I’ve always had big dogs, and this is our first small one. I’m in love!
Miralee
My question is for Sandra right now…..
On your LFYI in Snowball Arkansas….what kind of research did you have to do for this book????
I would love a chance to win it! Snowball sounds FANTASTIC!!!
Thanks!

How long does it take you to write a novel?

Molly: For Snowball, I’d been to the area once many years back. I was so impressed that I went home to L.A. and for years I told people I was going to retire there. Then when it was one of the titles Summerside asked me to write, I saw the “God thing” in it all. I contacted several people living there now (by calling businesses out of the phone book!), and dug up my old pictures, etc. The rest of it was just drawing from my own life. There’s a lot of me in Lucy!

In answer to Tiffany’s question (about whether I have a legal backgound), I’ll say “Sorta.” LOL
When my kids were in elementary school, I worked part time during the school year so that I be home with them before and after school, and during their summer vacations. And during those years, I worked for four attorneys, doing everything from answering phones to scheduling appointments, delivering documents to the clerk of the court, typing pleas, and bringing last-minute info to the attorneys during court proceedings. But that was quite a few years ago (my girls have kids of their own now!), so while some of the information gleaned ‘on the job’ is helpful, I always interview as many legal experts as I can before writing scenes involving the law. (In LFY in Paradise, I went to the courthouse and made copies of an actual case (which was by then ‘public record’) and pattered my courtroom scene after it.
One of the ‘funnest’ elements of writing is… I meet some really cool people AND I learn a ton of stuff!
Have a blessed day, m’friend!
Loree
Nora,
Ocieanna and I knew we’d been wanting to write together for a while. We came up with the title first–with Summerside’s help, and then started digging into the history of the area, which was amazing! Ocieanna and I traveled there, looked around, got help from historians, and interviewed a 91-year-old man who knew all the first settlers. It was so fun!
Julia,
I start by getting a general feel for the area/conflict. They I try to connect with people who where there. So far I’ve been able to interview AMAZING veterans. I also love memoirs. Many of the guys have written down their accounts and they send them to me. There was so much happening in WWII, I don’t try to keep track of it all. Instead I focus on one person and what they faced. Usually this “one person” is a composite of the many men I’ve interviewed. Fun!
Charity,
We got the idea from the story after thinking about some things we REALLY wanted to write about: orphan trains, Montana settlers, mail-order brides, circuit preachers. Then we put them all in one book!!! 🙂
I like this contest. There are so many authors that I rally love.
My first one is Loreen Lough. I love the book Love finds you in the North Pole, so I was wondering if you have ever live in the land of ice.

Hi Sherry,
How long does it take me to write a book? Whew! That’s a hard one. The rough draft of my first book took 5 wks. No kidding. But I didn’t do anything else besides write, eat and sleep. Last Chance took about 7 months, since I was working on Finding Jeena at the same time, and doing promo’s for my first one, The Other Daughter. When I started writing Bridal Veil, the other two were done, and I completed it in about 4 1/2 or 5 months, including edits, then let it sit for a couple of wks and returned to polish. I think 5-6 months is a good average for me, if life and other books don’t get in the way. I tend to lose focus and get distracted too easily.
So glad you dropped in!
Miralee
what a nice contest! I was wondering what kind of big black dog you meant in your book Bridal Veil? I own Newfoundlands, so I was imagining their wonderful disposition with children when Joel “adopts” the one in your story.
ack! forgot my email:
mahereenie at yahoo dot com
I’d love to win LFY Last Chance, CA
question #1` for Cerella
If you could be any person in the world who would you be? and why?
#2 is for Ocianna
If you could have any job in world other than writing what would it be and why?
#3 for Tricia
If you could live any where in the US where would you live? why?
#4 Loree
If you could meet any famous person who would you choose and why?
#5 Sandra
I know authors love if questions….
IF you could go any place out side of the US where would you go and why?
Hi Kathleen,
Art Gibbs (who was actually my great grandfather in real life) did have a big black dog that was extremely protective. When he’d come home at night he’d have to speak outside the door and let his dog know it was him to keep from getting bit! Unfortunately, he didn’t say what kind of dog it was, and my mom doesn’t remember if she ever did know. That’s why I didn’t try to describe him, but I suppose he could have been a Newfoundlander! I was kind of thinking some type of Lab mixed with another big breed.
Blessings, Miralee
Wow, awesome giveaway! My question is for Loree:
Did you get to visit the actual North Pole?
Anna
writer_weaver at yahoo dot com
Abi. That’s a hard one, but I think I’d be a high school or jr. high teacher. I do a little of that in my homeschool co-op and I’ve found it uses many of the same creative juices as writing. Plus there’s the fun of hanging out with the young folks. I love how free they are to laugh and be themselves. But I really can’t imagine not writing. 🙂
Hi again, Casey! It was very surreal. I peeked then left the room, then came back. Then when I finally picked it up, I just felt grateful.
If I could go anywhere outside of the US, I think it would have to be Tuscany. I related very much with the heroine in Under the Tuscan Sun, and loved the thread theme of the story (build the tracks, and the train will come). So a little vineyard and Italian action sounds really cool to me!
Abi,
You know, I’ve been really chewing on this question, and honestly, I don’t think there’s anyone else I’d rather be than myself. There are people I admire and who I aspire to emulate in their wisdom and grace, but in the end…I like myself well enough to just want to be me and to keep trying to become better at who *I* am. 🙂
Abi, that’s an interesting question since I am currently packing up my house to move!! While I LOVE living in Montana, my husband has a great job offer in Arkansas. We’ll be there in a few months!
Other than that I’d have to say I’d enjoy Hawaii! 🙂
Miralee,
Your up tomorrow. A kiss scene from LFY..Bridal Veil Oregon will be featured on my blog
Charity,
I’m so sorry, somehow I missed your question a few days ago. Yes, Bridal Veil is a real town, although there in only a small P.O., church and a handful of houses now. Most of the town was torn down 12 yrs ago by a group who bought the original 20 acres where most of the businesses, school, homes and original church lay. They tore it down as they wanted to see the land return to its natural state and the area lost a wonderful bit of its history.
Loree, was this your first time writing a novel with Amish people involved?
God bless,
Elyssa
lubell1106(at)gmail(dot)com
Hi Elyssa! In answer to your question (if LFY in Paradise was my 1st book w/Amish characters), the answer is yes. And isn’t that a hoot, considering I have a boatload of in-laws in the Maryland and Pennsylvania mountains who live by a wide variety of Amish, Mennonite and Brethren codes!
Hope you’re enjoying a fabulous weekend!
Loree
