How Sara L. Foust Squeezes in Writing

0 , , , ,

Sara L. Foust is a multi-published, award-winning author who writes Inspirational Romantic Suspense from the beauty of East Tennessee, where she lives with her five homeschooled children. To learn more about her, please visit www.saralfoust.com. 

When do you find time to write?
Sara: It is hard! I have five homeschooled children, I work from home as a medical transcriptionist, and life is constantly busy and loud. I squeeze writing time in whenever possible, wherever possible.

What is your favorite spot for reading or reflecting on your current work-in-progress?
Sara: Outside! I have a nice bench with fluffy cushions. I can watch my children play in the yard and work at the same time. I also think better outdoors. The fresh air must do my creative brain good!

How do you pick the location/setting of your romantic suspense novels?
Sara: The settings for my first 3 books and my novella have come easily: They all start in my home state. I love being outdoors, and I feel that one of the biggest blessings God gave us is the beauty of nature, so I love to incorporate that, as best I can, into my writing. Which is why my personal phrase for my romantic suspense writing is “Faith. Nature. Romance.”

What did you want to be as a child (and did that dream come true)?
Sara: I wanted to be an author, but it took me a long time to let myself do it. It felt like the impossible dream, and if I started and failed, what would I do then? So I put it off for a lot of years. I am so thankful that I can say my dream is coming true now.

Current book: Rarity Mountain, Journey to Faith
No job. Little faith. A paralyzing secret and a life-changing survival show.

A Conversation With Sara L. Foust

1 , , ,

Sara L. Foust writes inspirational romantic suspense from a mini-farm in East Tennessee. Her debut novel, Callum’s Compass, won second place in Deep River Books’ 2017 Writer’s Contest. She has a story appearing in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Step Outside Your Comfort Zone.

When do you find time to write?
Sara: We have five homeschooled children and a mini-farm, my husband is in online college to earn his bachelor’s degree, and we are very involved in our church, so finding time to write is a challenge. I love writing so much, though, that I am willing to fight for my writing time against the everyday busyness. I squeeze writing time in whenever I am sitting idle—in the car, in the parking lot before church, in the mornings while the kiddos watch cartoons.

How do you pick the location/setting of your romantic suspense novels?
Sara: I absolutely love my home in East Tennessee. The mountains, forests and wildlife are all so inspiring to me. I simply had to pick this location that I know and love so well for this first three-book series (and probably the next as well).

What is one of your favorite ways to connect with readers?
Sara: I love connecting with people, getting to know them, helping them pray and just finding things we have in common to chat about. I hope readers will feel free to email me or message me on social media or invite me to their book clubs or women’s groups (if they live nearby), so we can swap stories of what God has done in our lives.

Current book: Callum’s Compass
Facing betrayal, wild animals, meth-addled drug makers, and their own fears, can Kat and Ryan discover the golden treasure and God’s love?
