Interview with Annalysa Alonzo
What was the hardest scene from your book to write?
The whole book was hard to write, but if I had to pick just one scene, it would be me reliving the moments of loss in that hospital.
Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre?
I didn’t grow up in a go to church every Sunday type family, and I wasn’t introduced to Jesus until I was in high school. I wanted the readers to understand my writing not just from a faith-based perspective, but also hear me out in general about the losses of life.
If you write in more than one genre, how do you balance them?
I do have bible verses in the book and I do talk about God because I am not ashamed of the gospel, but I also talk about my life before bible verses and before meeting God. It isn’t so much about balancing but understanding of the readers.
What did you enjoy most about writing this book?
Seeing the girl with endless hope come to life after finishing the book.
What book that you have read has most influenced your life?
Kid book, “I Knew You Could” by Craig Dorfman. Adult book, “Captivating” by John & Stasi Eldredge
Tell us a little about yourself? Perhaps something not many people know?
I LOVE to dance. Hip-hop mostly but give me a good tune and I’ll dance to anything.
Can you tell us something about your book that is not in the summary?
There isn’t just one main loss that I talk on, if readers keep their eyes open, there are actually four big losses that I talk on.
