Towards the Promised Land – H. B. Moore

Ever since conducting my interview with LDS author H. B. Moore, I’ve eagerly anticipated reading “Towards the Promised Land,” volume three of the “Out of Jerusalem” series. This book encompasses 1 Nephi 17:7 – 18:23. Such short verses to convey so much – and so many possibilities. Moore takes the question of “What if?” and applies it to these verses of scripture.

Author Interview: Loralee Evans

Today we are joined by Loralee Evans, LDS historical fiction author. Loralee, we are so glad you could chat with us. You write historical fiction based on the Book of Mormon. What first interested you about this genre? I really like the potential for story possibilities in the Book of Mormon. There was so much there going on behind the scenes in the lives of the everyday people that we never have a chance to find out about. But in the end, they were real people just like us; they had their own lives to live, and their own challenges … Continue reading →

Author Interview – Anne Bradshaw, Part Two

Thank you for joining us for part two of our conversation with LDS novelist Anne Bradshaw. If you missed yesterday, click here. Anne, can you tell us about your two novels, their titles, and give us a synopsis on each? Both novels take place in Britain in the 1960s. Most of the labor missionary incidents actually happened to my husband and friends and have been fictionalized to fit the plot. The first book is “Terracotta Summer” and its sequel is “Chamomile Winter.” In “Terracotta Summer,” feisty Ruth O’Shea sets sail for America from her English homeland thinking she’s leaving family … Continue reading →
