Happy Monday, y'all! First of all, I can't believe that it's November 6th already. Second of all, we're six days into NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and I'm having SO much fun. Have you checked out the little bit of friendly competition going on between my twin sister and I? You can check it out on either my Instagram or Facebook. Well, I've got another blog tour stop here on the blog today and I'm super excited. Chloe, author of the new fiction story "The Light", is a beautiful person and I'm thrilled to be supporting her first self-published book. So without further ado, I present the author interview I did with Chloe and more about her story, "The Light".... Bella: Thank you so much for joining us here today, Chloe! <3 Please, share with us just a little bit more about yourself so our readers can get to know you better! Chloe: Of course! I am nineteen and I live on a farm with my amazing family! I I enjoy doing so many things, it would take a few minutes to name them all, but two are singing and acting, besides writing! I feel God wants me to reach people for Him through acting, singing and writing so I am looking forward to seeing what He's going to do through me! I am also very passionate about purity and reaching people who are hurting. Bella: Awesome. Now, when did you first begin writing and why is writing important to you? Chloe: I wrote my first novel in 2014, writing the last words the night before my sixteenth birthday. I have always so enjoyed reading books and if I didn't have anything to do I would probably just read everyday all day! I reckon the reason that it is so important to me is the fact that God can give you a story or a message, and you sit down and He helps you create that story from start to finish. And what you write can change a life, and tell someone about Jesus. Bella: Where did you come up with the inspiration for The Light? Chloe: Well, ever since before I was twelve, God has given me stories to be made into movies someday. But when I planned it all out, I always had the people being too perfect-they never did anything wrong before they were saved in regards to purity. I wanted to write a story, putting someone in the worst situation and show how there is a way out through Jesus, and that there is forgiveness. (I can't tell you if the character in The Light comes out or not because that would spoil the end!) I wanted to show people that no matter what you've done in the past, when you ask for forgiveness from God then you are just as pure and forgiven as the next person! Bella: What is the most important writing advice you've ever been given that you would like to give to another writer? Chloe: The most important advice...I've been given to much great advice but the two most important that I would want to pass on is to make sure your writing is always pointing to and glorifying Jesus and to write as though you were talking to someone--as though you were sitting down and having a conversation with a friend! Bella: What is the most important lesson you want readers to take away after reading The Light? Chloe: I want them to take hold of the courage that God gives them and not be afraid to shine forth for Jesus! And I want them to know that-no matter where they are or what they've done-that there is always a way out through Jesus and there is always forgiveness! Don't you know that He is holding His arms out just waiting for you to run into them so He can hold you!! Bella: That sounds wonderful, Chloe. And finally, if you could be any of the characters in your story, who would you be and why? Chloe: Oh, there are different things from each that I admire. I believe that I would take a little from each character and combine it into one! Thank you so much for doing this and for being apart of my bog tour! God Bless you! Chloe Hadassah is a Christian gal who strives to live for her Jesus. This is her first published book and she hopes it touches those who read it! God Bless!
