I’ve always loved mermaids and been fascinated by the myths surrounding them. Have you thought about doing a full YA/Teen series fully embracing this underwater setting? I know you’ve dipped your toe into the world of mermaids in Tears of the Sea. In a way that makes me realize God is in control and I am not! As much as I’d love to think I am, from time to time.
There’s something very calming about gazing over the ocean, isn’t there? It’s not only soothing, but it also reminds me how wonderful and powerful God is and how small and weak I am. I’ve heard the Mediterranean is even more beautiful, but I’ve never been there. The Caribbean of course! I’ve never seen such gorgeous seas as the turquoise waters of the Caribbean.
I see you’re an ocean lover! What has been your favorite body of water to stare out from and why? Here’s a link to a small article I wrote about her:
She was a Revolutionary War Privateer in 1776. Unfortunately, I don’t know any women this unconventional in my life, but my favorite example from history is a lady named Fanny Campbell. I suppose I have a thing for strong, independent women. How was one of your book heroines, “A Lady in Defiance” of the times or circumstances in which she lived? AND What real-life “Lady in Defiance” has impacted your life or writing?Īs I pondered this question, I thought to myself, which one of my heroines has not defied the conventions of her time? Let me see, I have women who left everything to run away all alone, lady pirates, a French spy, a stowaway on a ship, a woman who harbored an enemy combatant, a woman intent on providing for herself, a slave woman who ran away from her master and masqueraded as a white woman, women who uprooted and moved to Brazil, and a woman accused of killing her husband. A big “Howdy” to MaryLu! Thanks for joining us here at Ladies in Defiance!!!
