Tagged:
Deborah Cloyed’s debut novel, The Summer We Came to Life, is a beautiful story that centers around Samantha Wheland and her best friends of two generations. The relationship between the characters is so vivid that it feels as if the author drew from her own real-life experiences to capture such realism.
Here is the second part of an interview with Carol Cassella, author of Healer and Oygen, where she further discusses medical issues that inspire and inform her novels.
Author Carol Cassella discusses her novel Healer (now in paperback) and how her own life as a physician has both inspired and informed her writing career. Check back tomorrow for Part II.
