We were talking about my book, Maria's Awaking. She had read the book thoroughly judging from the insightful questions she posed to me. Her grasp of the essence of my book was astonishing and I can see why she is one of the top radio interviewers in the country.

She touched on many weighty parts of the book which no one had ever asked me before.

We talked mostly about my first book, Maria's Awakening, and touched slightly upon the whole Maria Series.

 He is a skilled interviewer; helping his listeners improve their quality of life by having a variety of authors on his show who deal with subjects concerning, mind, body, and spirit. 

We discussed my heroine's feelings and how important they are for living a full life, my background, and how it helped me write Maria's Awakening.

The people who came were very nice. The support staff that helped to set up for me and the friendly audience made this event a success!]]><![CDATA[My motivation for adding this blog page...]]>Tue, 13 May 2014 00:14:32 GMThttp://ellareamurphy.com/blog/my-motivation-for-adding-this-blog-pageThe three motivations given below also serve as a back-drop for the love stories that Maria experiences in the series of novels I have written.

First, I witnessed this that period, dubbed 'The Greatest Generation,' and because of that, I wanted to tell the world about the honor and commitment America had to pull themselves out of the Great Depression, the sacrifices made to win the Second World War and the coming Korean Conflict, and the subsequent years after that unique time.

Secondly, through Maria's determination and the men in her life, including her father and step-father, she lets women know who are reading the books that they have been emancipated and can reach for a career outside of the home.

Thirdly, the books give the message in various ways that there is a loving God who takes care of everyone no matter whether one belongs to organized religion, just loves Christ, or doesn't know what he believes.

In my blog, I will be writing about my books and my day-to-day operation of getting each book published. I hope you will stay tuned and enjoy. Please feel free to comment as I will read each response and I look forward to this online conversation with you!
