Author Interview (and a Giveaway!): Pepper D. Basham

All day today here at Reading Is My SuperPower, I am spotlighting award-winning author Pepper D. Basham and her April contemporary release A Twist of Faith.

Since Pepper is one of my very favorite people in the world and A Twist of Faith is one of my very favorite books, I thought it would be fun to see what some of PEPPER’s favorite things are! So, you know, I asked her 🙂

Jazz, I’m particularly fond of the ‘classics’ such as Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald, but I enjoy Harry Connick, Jr, Nora Jones, and Michael Buble too

The whole Bible is important, or course, but I’m particularly drawn to the book of Romans. There are verses in there that are like the best editor – they rip you apart and then put you back together again to be even better than you were before.

Phineas and Ferb is my favorite cartoon. Followed very quickly by Warner Bros. Bugs Bunny and Scooby Doo.

Is that even possible? I have a long list of wonderful authors who I’ve enjoyed and have inspired my writing. From Mary Connealy, Siri Mitchell, Janice Thompson, Beth Pattilo, Ruth Logan Herne, Liz Curtis Higgs, Becky Wade, Julie Lessman, and Denise Hunter, but especially Laura Frantz. Each of these authors have touched and inspired me in a unique way.

Hermione…of course

Green – dark, rich green

Eisley Barrett, hands down! I LOVE her personality and the humor and romance surrounding her story.

(Interviewer’s Note: Eisley Barrett is a character from my absolute fave novel by Pepper Basham.  It’s currently unpublished but hopefully you will get to meet her … and Wes … someday soon!)

Mr. Knightley – he’s charming, funny, loyal, and the heroine’s best friend.

I’m just going to say the United Kingdom. That’s where I want to go and stay a very long time 🙂 

Favorite dessert is a tough one. It used to be preacher cookies are my favorite dessert until I created my dark Knight chocolate torte. And it’s become my favorite dessert now

Fall. I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains… of COURSE it’s Fall

Um….free time?
