Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m Rebecca Belliston, mother of five. I write while my kids are in school to keep my sanity. I’ve published four novels (two Christian romantic suspense novels and two dystopian novels), and I have several more in the works.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
LIBERTY is book 2 in my #CitizensofLoganPond trilogy. This series is set a few years in the future after the financial collapse of America. I wanted to explore the idea of how a small neighborhood might pull together in hard times, how regular people and families would survive without money, technology, grocery stores, or even chocolate. It’s been my favorite project to work on so far.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write whenever I have a minute or two to write. Sometimes that’s late at night, sometimes that’s during my daughter’s gymnastics or my son’s ortho appointments. With five kids, I have to grab writing time whenever I can get it.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m a huge Jane Austen fan. Her books are brilliantly clever, funny, and swoon-worthy. My father, Gerald N. Lund, also has had a huge influence on me. He’s written over thirty books.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on the last book in my trilogy which will be called THE PURSUIT. (The first two novels are called LIFE, and LIBERTY.)
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I love book reviewers. They’re so passionate about books, and they’re always thrilled to share what they’re reading.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Read. Write. Repeat.
It’s that easy and that hard.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Great books aren’t written. They’re rewritten.
What are you reading now?
I’m reading “Cress” by Marissa Meyer. Wonderful series!
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have several projects I’m itching to finish including a medieval romance.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Pride and Prejudice, the scriptures, and probably a few of my own. 🙂
