Broken wings by carla stewart6/23/2023 ![]() ![]() TKM: What do you answer when people ask, “What do you write?”Ĭarla: My most common answer is “Inspirational Fiction.” Then if they ask more questions, I tell them I like to explore tough subjects in novels with a nostalgic flavor. THEN I allowed myself to be excited, but it still felt a little surreal, and being the worrier that I am, I held my breath until the contract came and I saw it in writing. The next week I was offered a two-book contract from FaithWords. My agent brainstormed it with me (thank you, Sandra!), and in four days I wrote a synopsis and three chapters. I had a germ of an idea, but had not plotted the story. To make a long story short, the YA novel I had completed was rejected, but the question came back, “What else?” My agent interpreted that as meaning they were interested in a multi-book deal. This was immediately followed by panic as the editor also wanted to know what else I had. Relief that finally someone was interested. TKM: What was your first thought when you found out Chasing Lilacs had been accepted by a publisher?Ĭarla Stewart: Shock.
