Today we're visiting with Beckie Weinheimer, author of CONVERTING KATE.I had the chance to ask Beckie a few questions about her life and writing, so enjoy her answers!
1) If you could bring any character from one of your books to life, who would it be and why?
Kate. I’ve spent so much time with her I’d like to meet her in the flesh and just give her a real hug for being brave enough to leave a religion that didn’t feel right to her!
2) Your own six-word memoir.
Mother, wife, author, friend, passionate, loyal.
3) Twitter your newest or upcoming release in 140 characters or less.
At the pioneer Parade 14 year old Annie races off to the tabernacle after another fight with her mom. Crying, she hears a strange accented man ask her if she’s okay. She smells salt and ocean. She’s in a Norman chapel in Victorian Wales What happened to Brighamville, Utah and 2010? What happened to her six younger annoying siblings—three sets of twins? (okay too long, I’d make it two tweets!)
4) You have the chance to spend the day with any character from one of your favorite books. Who would you choose and why?
Anne Frank. Because she seems like the most optimist wise teenager I’ve ever come across. I want to tell her how she changed the world. How she did make a difference.
