A little about Ruthie Madison...
A quote from Ruthie’s fan page that I love and
totally respect; Ruthie says “Spirit filled Author who is inspired by the Lord to
write fiction, first book is a romance called "Marge"” There is
nothing like a strong woman with beliefs, total respect hun x

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wanna give a warm welcome to
Ruthie today, our first Christian Author! Welcome Ruthie! ;D x
I have a few stanard questions for you hun...
How would you describe your book?
I would say that The Past Hunter is a Christian Romance with a bit of suspense
What Genre is your work mainly? Do you tend to
stay in the same vein or are you hoping (if not already) to explore new
ventures?
I have been writing Romance. My first book mare is like mainstream because though it starts out secular, it does have a Salvation message in it. I would love to try Romantic Suspense, Christian mystery and down te road children fiction.
What inspired you to write your book?
I would say that God gives me the ideas. They just pop in my head and I play them out.
Who was the easiest character to write and why?
Hardest and why?
Julie is the easiest because she is female and also a Christian so I put some of my values and beliefs into her. Eric is semi easy because I would write out the kind of things I like to happen to me. As for the hardest, I don’t know. I guess I think I know my characters.
Are your characters based on real people? People
you may know or TV/Movie stars?
Not entirely. As I said, Julie is a little of me when it comes to her Christian Faith. Other than that, they are not based on anyone.
Without giving anything away, what is/are your
favorite scene(s) in your book?
I love it when he comes up behind her when she does not expect it. It is in the first chapter. There are a couple other scenes like it.
If 'your book (s)' had a theme song, what would
it be and why?
I never really thought about a theme song for my book. Maybe something Western because both Julie and Eric are Country in nature although she became a city girl after she moved.
Do you listen to music while you write your
book, if so ... what songs?
Yes, I do. It would always be encouraging music like Christian Contemporary. It spurs me on and helps me to not give up.
What’s up next for you?
Right now I am working on the Butterfly and The Cocoon while I wait for someone to do a cover design or my third book and starting in march I will be sending an editor payments to look at my work called A Second Chance at Love before I have it published.
What inspired you to be a writer? Is there anything
in particular that spurred you on?
My friend Michelle spurred me on. I mainly write for esacpe or wish fulfillment.
What’s came first the chicken or the egg? Lol
Depends on how you look at it ;)
A little background into your writing: when did
you start?
What was your first piece?
First published piece, tell us about your
general history…
My first book Marge really began in the early 2000. I think I have put some of me into and how I feel about my circumstances. A few years ago I shared with my friend Michelle parts of my story. She encouarged me to get Marge published. That was in 2011. Prior to do that, I have been writing stories for a long time. Now I wish I haven’t thrown some of them away. I didn’t have a computer back then.
Do you have any favorite books or authors?
Carmen De Sousa. I just finished She belongs to Me which is a romantic Suspense. I also like Janice Thompson who wrote Fools Rush in. Lori Brighton’s Mind Reader Series are a fave as well.
Are you working on anything else besides this?
Just what I told you: The Butterfly and the Cocoon.
Here could you give us a few words to people who
haven’t yet read your book (s)
