Ludwig

Elizabeth Ludwig is an award-winning author whose work has been featured on Novel Journey, the Christian Authors Network, and The Christian Pulse. Her first novel, Where the Truth Lies, which she co-authored with Janelle Mowery, earned her the 2008 IWA Writer of the Year honors. This book was followed in 2009 by “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” part of a Christmas anthology collection called Christmas Homecoming, also from Barbour Publishing.

In 2010, her first full-length historical novel Love Finds You in Calico, California earned Four Stars from the Romantic Times. Books two and three of Elizabeth’s mystery series, Died in the Wool (Barbour Publishing) and Inn Plain Sight (Spyglass Lane), respectively, released in 2011.

In 2012 Elizabeth’s newest historical series from Bethany House Publishers became available. No Safe Harbor, the first book in the Edge of Freedom Series, released in October, with two more books following: Dark Road Home August 2013 and the third of the series in 2014.

Elizabeth is an accomplished speaker and teacher, and often attends conferences and seminars, where she lectures on editing for fiction writers, crafting effective novel proposals, and conducting successful editor/agent interviews. Her popular literary blog, The Borrowed Book, enjoyed a wide readership in its first full year, with more than 17,000 visitors in 2011. Along with her husband and two children, Elizabeth makes her home in the great state of Texas.

Here is a small portion of that interview:

What do you like most about writing and being a published author? I still get a thrill every time my publisher sends me a new book cover or when the postman drops off a carton of new books. I’m amazed sometimes to think that something that sprang from my imagination is bringing enjoyment to someone else! I love that.

What do you like least? More than anything else, writing—and promoting my writing—is work! I wish I didn’t have to think about sales numbers or marketing plans, but you know what? It’s all part of the business.
