Interview With Author Traci Zoschke
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Traci Zoschke. I graduated from Calvary University in Kansas City, MO with a degree in Biblical Counseling. I have been married to her husband, Andrew, for thirteen years and have proudly held the role of Pastor’s Wife for the past decade. We currently live in Southwest Kansas where I am a full-time homeschooling mama to our four beautiful children.
I originally started writing for therapeutic reasons, and it has now become an enjoyable hobby! I currently have two books published and two more in the works. My goal in writing is to bring the knowledge of Christ to my readers and to encourage believers in their daily walk with Him.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“When Worlds Collide: An Unexpected Love Story” is my latest published book. I was inspired to write it because I wanted a love story that also showed the close relationship that could be had between a father and daughter.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Probably. 😀 I tend to work through several chapters in my head, which usually take weeks to put on paper. After that I often take a break for several weeks to process exactly how I want the story to go next.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I LOVE the classics. Jane Austen and the Bronte Sisters have had an enormous influence on my writing style. Even Leo Tolstoy as of late.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on a four-part novel, “Wounded Faith: A Heart-Wrenching Story of Trial, Hope & Love.”
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I try to use as many non-exclusive publishers as I can when I launch, and I promote on as many platforms as I can. I also update my business pages several times a week.
What are you reading now?
I am currently (June 2022) reading “Anna Karenina” by Leo Tolstoy.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Next on my agenda is creating a Discussion Guide for “Turbulent Hope”
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?
Hard decision! Probably Pride & Prejudice (Austen), The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Bronte), Middlemarch (Eliot) and Around the World in Eighty Days (Verne).
Honestly though, I’d probably die if I couldn’t bring more than ten!
