An interview with Grace

What is your name/blog name?
You can call me Grace :)

How long have you been part of LARK?
I believe about as long as it's been existing. It will be a year in August.

Do you have any other blogs besides LARK that you would like to share with us?
We Are Windows and Simply Sweet Suggestions are my two blogs. We Are Windows is more of a devotional or journal like blog. I've posted a lot of poetry and short stories there also. Simply Sweet Suggestions is my cake blog. I love to decorate cakes, so I post a lot of fun pictures over there.

Tell us about yourself—
I'm from a large family – five brothers and one sister to be exact. Despite all the brothers, I tend to be pretty shy when it comes to social situations, but among those I know really well I can be a different person. Most of the time I prefer to stay at home with my family and dream up exciting stories. 
 
What are some of your interests?
I love reading, writing, cake decorating, some drawing and photography, teaching preschoolers, and singing. In the past I also enjoyed some piano and swim team. 
 
Do you have a personal hero (Other than Jesus.)?
My personal hero is probably my Mom or one of my Grandmas. I admire their faith and the way they raised(or are still raising) up their children to love the Lord. 
 
What is your favorite reading genre?
I love fantasy, and it is also what I love writing most.

Who is your favorite author?
Oh dear, I'm not sure whether or not I can choose between Bryan Davis, Jill Williamson, and Andrew Peterson. I'll just say Bryan Davis.

What is your top favorite book ?
Hmmm...probably Raising Dragons by Bryan Davis, but I love the whole Dragons in Our Midst series!

Do you have any inspiration to get published?
I would love to publish a book someday! It's my favorite dream.

Are you currently writing a book or books? If so, would you like to tell us a little about them?
Currently I have a couple main books floating around in my head. One is a twist off of Joseph's story in the Bible. Except instead of twelve brothers, they are twelve sisters. I've started writing it, but I'm not sure if I'll ever publish it. Maybe someday. The main book I would like to publish is one that's been evolving in my head since I was around eleven. It's changed drastically since then. I've started writing it multiple times, but then a major part of it will change. Then I start all over again. Mainly, though, the book will be about seven orphans. Michael the eldest, harbors a bitter anger towards his dead parents who abandoned the children and left them without an explanation for the humiliating difference between them and the rest of humankind. When a key to the puzzle finally clicks into place, Michael is determined to let nothing stop him from finding the rest of the missing pieces and recover what rightfully belongs to him and his siblings.
