Tell us about Nothing Is Too Hard For God.
Nothing Is Too Hard For God is a stand-alone novel to my first novella, I Still Do. These books are about the friendship and lives of three ladies. Nothing Is Too Hard For God, specifically deals with a lot of the issues that the ladies have on a more personal level instead of everything being handled within the friendship the way things were done in, I Still Do. I wrote the book this way because truly when we have to handle the different issues that we have within ourselves we have to handle them on our own, no one else can do that for us. It’s funny, dramatic, encouraging, laugh-out-loud-funny and a testament to what God can do in our lives if we would only surrender “it” all to Him.
How did you come up with ideas for this book?
I truly believe that the situations that I write about are inspired by God especially in this book. I say that because, I do not know anyone that has really experienced these particular things that I wrote about but since the book has been on the market I have had so many people tell me at book signings and readings that they see themselves in the characters.
Who are your main character(s)?
My main characters are Deborah Lakes- A very successful attorney who can’t seem to stay out of trouble; Karen Martinez- A chemist turned stay- at- home wife who does not want to be controlled; and Leslie Walls- an extremely gifted child psychologist with unsolved issues from her childhood
Did you have a favorite character(s)? Who and why?
In the first book, I Still Do, Deborah was my favorite character because she is an attorney, something I have always dreamed of being but now Karen is my favorite. She is my new favorite character because she really stands up for herself in, Nothing Is Too Hard For God
Did you have to do quite a bit of research for this novel?
Only a little as I delved into Karen’s background, she is Hispanic and I am African American so, I had to do some research there.
What do you hope readers will learn/discover from reading Nothing Is Too Hard For God.
What I hope that readers will discover/learn from this book is indicated in the title. No matter how dark your life may seem, there is always a way out, it may not be smooth or even happen the way you want it to but please know that there is no situation that we can get ourselves into that God can’t get us out of. Nothing Is
Too Hard For God!
Okay, a not-so-fun question. How important are reviews to you as a writer?
At this point in my writing career and probably always, reviews are my life line. It takes a lot of hard work, time and dedication to write books. So, after I am done and I feel like it’s ready to be sold, the first thing that I want to know is what people think, the good, the bad and the ugly. Well the ugly, you can send to me personally. Honestly though, I want to know what the readers liked, did not like and why. This is my ministry and I want to know that I am reaching the people.
About the Book
Nothing Is Too Hard for God is the sequel to the novella I Still Do. These three best friends are back to take you on a journey through their past and into their future. This book is full of truth, faith and testaments to what God can do when we submit our lives to Him. Do you want to know how God brought Deborah through her haunted past and into His saving grace? Would you like to know why Damien was disloyal to Karen and if their marriage can really survive after his affair? Last, but not least, if you want to know how Leslie’s heart went from being as cold as stone to being full of love, then you must read Nothing is too hard for God. Just when you think you have it all figured out, this novel will take another turn.
