If you’ve always wanted to write an alternative narrative for female characters portrayed in the Bible, don’t bother! Cordelia Biddle did it for you in her newest book, just released from Vine Leaves Press. Irreverent, witty, spicy!

I love, love, love my characters, even when they misbehave, because they teach me so much about the world and myself. How about yours?!

While camping beside a lake, I once woke to the sound of a loon. It was one of the eeriest, most beautiful sounds I’ve ever heard. Birdsong plays a crucial role in my historical novel about a female warrior.

During a recent giveaway on the American Historical Novels FB page, I asked participants who wanted to win a copy of my novel, The Falcon, the Wolf and the Hummingbird, to answer that question. And the responses...WOW! I couldn’t get over the love, support and appreciation we women show one another!

Mary Donahue, the 15-year-old protagonist of my novel, WINTER LIGHT, which takes place in 1978-79 Chicago, listens to a lot of hard rock. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink, Floyd, etc. What's your favorite lyric or song from your teen years?

@sgould.bsky.social I’m a documentary buff, especially those that herald hope for the future. Josh Kahn’s new film, “Untapped: Closing America’s Opportunity Gap” does just that.

Mary Donahue, the protagonist of my edgy YA novel “Winter Light,” was 7 years old in 1970 (and I was six) when Earth Day was established in the US. We've come a long way, so thanks to all of you who are doing what you can to literally clean up our world! Do you have a favorite tree?

I’m developing a TV series with a small group of writers and we’re putting together our pitch materials. One is a “bible,” which is an outline of the show.
