Interview With Author Sarah Hicks
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My home state is Virginia, but I’m currently holed up at Fort Bliss, Texas, with my husband. If there’s water nearby, chances are I’ll be on my paddleboard. On solid ground, I’m enjoying the ride on my Royal Enfield Classic 350. My debut book is called “The Magdala League: Mystery on Maple Street.”
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“The Magdala League: Mystery on Maple Street” is the title of my latest book. My goal was to write a thrilling story that appeals to young Christian readers, teaches them valuable lessons, and inspires their faith.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Traveling with my husband means I write on the go.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am a fan of mysteries and enjoy reading the books of Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. Along with the others, Charles Dickens, C. S. Lewis, and Jane Austen are at the top of my list.
What are you working on now?
Currently, I’m writing the second book in the Magdala League series, which I’m calling “The Secret of the Desert Cave” for now.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
As a new author, I appreciate my publisher’s marketing efforts. I’ve come to realize that Goodreads is the perfect place to connect with readers.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Me? Give advice? I’m still figuring this out!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I found the most valuable advice for new authors on Sara A. Noë’s blog, where she shares “Author’s 20 Tips for a Successful Book Signing.” Bookmarks, check. Retractable banner, check!
What are you reading now?
I try to find time for Benjamin L. Merkle’s “Beginning with New Testament Greek” amidst my writing sessions.
What’s next for you as a writer?
My goal is to publish ten books in the Magdala League series. Help me out by buying my first book!
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?
I don’t know if this is a trick question, but my phone has a sizable library. However, if I found myself without my phone, I’d make sure to have the ESV Bible, “The Horse and His Boy” by C. S. Lewis, Agatha Christie’s “Hercule Poirot: The Complete Short Stories,” and “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” by Arthur Conan Doyle.
