![I DO...25 Years Later: When A Military Adventure Leads To An Easter Elopement! (Real Talk Series Book 1) by [Braxton, Susan]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51owIJMDqXL.jpg)
How
did this book come about?
I was working on several writing projects but
couldn't decide which to really buckle down and get published. After reading an email from one of my ebook
coaches, I took couple of days and just focused on which book should be first. When this came up in my spirit I was
surprised because I had not planned on it all. This book actually evolved from a
video that was created as a gift. I noticed how people
(young/old/married/single) had the same reactions to the certain parts, causing
laughter or amazement, etc., so I decided to turn the video into a book.
Can
you remember when you decided you wanted to publish your work?
Yes! Back in the
early 1990s. That's when I decided to
write using my pen name, Susan Braxton which was inspired by my mother's maiden
name. A lot of time has passed since
that decision but I've been pretty busy with Life so it doesn't feel that long
ago.
What is
your favorite genre?
When I was young
kid it was mystery like Nancy Drew series but as an adult I love Harlequin
Special Edition romance novels.
Tell
us about the Lewis'.
The Lewis' walk us through
their life together. They've created a special video for their 25th wedding
anniversary as a gift for their children. They recap what happens when military
adventures lead to an EASTER elopement! What happened when a small town country
boy and a city girl's world collide, all the exciting places they traveled
together and they each take turns sharing special, wacky stories about their
many adventures. This was a really fun project for me and I would love to see
it go from book to movie.
What can someone expect from reading your
book?
One reader, after turning down a marriage proposal several
times, decided to give love another chance and eloped! Others have said they've been inspired not
to give up on getting married and one husband said he was inspired
to work on his marriage.
Which
chapter is your favorite?
I would have
to say chapter 7 which covers the Easter elopement which is so romantic! I hope people become inspired by the story to stay open to
love! Relationships, especially marriage, takes effort and work but at the same
time you can have so much fun!
Was
Indie publishing your first route of choice for publishing?
No, back in the 90's the traditional
publishing route was all I knew. I
started attending seminars and taking classes which all seemed to be leaning
towards giving Indie publishing a try … I did!
It has been wonderful & empowering, I'm so glad I overcame all the
hesitations.
Do you
have any advice for someone considering writing their first novel?
Yes - pursue
it! Get your story out of your head and in written form. Connect with the
resources to publish and don't give up until you accomplish it!
What have the responses from readers been?
What have the responses from readers been?
I've
received really great feedback and I'm glad I followed through with publishing
it. A couple of comments that were
awesome: “Humorous, enjoyable
quick read! Educational for young
couples” “…A beautiful story and most worth-while
undertaking! It is spirit-filled and so heart-touching.”
Do
you have anything else you'd like to share about the book?
There is
a nugget inside waiting just for you that will at the appointed time inspire
you just when you needed it!
