A new blog series

In Overcoming, The Adventures of Hannah True: Book 3, Hannah will have Aunt Gertrude admit her to Rosedale Lunatic Asylum in order to check on the welfare of Benita Walton, a friend of Cordelia’s, who is a patient. In this new blog series, friends and family will be interviewed and asked two questions:

• In one word, how would you describe Hannah True?
• What has she done that makes you think so?

Those who will be interviewed:

• Sisters Hilda and May
• Brothers-in-law Graham Russell, Edmund Garr, and Hiram Pierce
• Nieces Cordelia, Lucy, Ella, and Jennie
• Aunt Gertrude
• Detectives Vance Hollandar and Victoria Nelson
• Darcy Haynes, editor and publisher of The Postulator
• Dr. Hacker and Dr. Brock of the Rosedale Lunatic Asylum
• Dr. Jennings

Is Hannah insane? We’ll see. Interviews begin next week.

Where did I get the idea of interviewing characters?

Back in 2012, my writing buddy, Bonnie Eaton aka BJ Myrick, and I did a video series on YouTube called Keyhole Conversations. We posted a total of twenty-seven videos. One of those was of the author, Bonnie, pretending to be one of her characters, and telling her opinion of her granddaughter’s marriage to the wrong man. If you have five minutes, take a look.

I won’t be doing any videos for my interviews because Bonnie, the inspiration behind Keyhole Conversations, passed away of COVID in January 2021. She was always on the lookout for new things, so when she learned of YouTube, she had to give it a try. We had many adventures together, and I miss her spirited enthusiasm.
