Author Q&A about Wingbound
-
In 2013 I wrote the first 2 chapters of WINGBOUND on a whim. It sat for two years in the dungeon of my computer before I started seriously writing the rest of the story. Every so often, the story would come back to me. I needed to know if he found her and how.
In November of 2015, I was homeschooling 5 kids and frenzied to get a moment alone because the story was coming to the surface. I had to write it. So each week night, after a full day of homeschooling, dinner making, and cleaning up after a full house, I would sit at my desk in my bedroom and just write. I was only left alone for 15 minutes at a time before the next kid had to ask a question, or needed help, or wanted me for whatever crazy reason. My darling husband then took it upon himself to field the endless pestering so that I could write. And write I did. Thanks to him.
I finished the last sentence of WINGBOUND on a trip (from Georgia) to San Francisco, sitting in a Starbucks in April 2016. I may have cheered among the preoccupied, caffeinated strangers.

I am a daydreamer and cloud gazer. Sunsets rock my world. When the clouds and the sun were placed just right, I could see an island in the sky, floating on the breeze. Could people live on that island? Well, they would need to have wings. What if they attacked us on the ground and we had to pay tribute? We paid. And when they returned the next year the same thing happened, until one year, a winged girl flew down, so she could meet one of us on the ground. It happened to be a boy named Ledger. What would that dangerous meeting between two pre-teens look like? It would be darn cute and adventurous!

I love the study of personality and use the Color Code in my personal and ministry life. I love to understand patterns of behavior, so this is where I started with choosing my characters, but as they grew and developed, I realized that I was using different behaviors and ways of speaking from certain people I know.
Angus is a lot like my husband. He’s a brute, a tank, and sometimes says weird things. “Holy straw mattress!” ~ Angus
Hollis is a combination of the wildest sisters in the world. Erin and Amber. Hollis is a wildcat and does all sorts of crazy things. They dragged me into all their crazy scheme and I often responded to them as Ledger does in the story.
The straight arrow, Tolliver, is a lot like my brother. Doing things for people’s own good, rule follower, strong leader, etc.
Lastly, the physical description of Roi du Ciel came from a random stranger sitting in Starbucks when I reached the chapter where he is first seen. I took out my phone, snapped a picture, and kept writing. I would share it here, but I don’t want to seem like a stalker. But he had GREAT eyebrows!

Ledger is a cross between me and my son, Gabriel. (We are similar in personality, so it works.) I am the one that’s afraid of animals, and afraid of the dark. I am a total wimp. I refer to myself as a “fainting goat” because when I’m startled, I freeze and can’t think. Sorry Ledger.
