Hello!
Welcome to Books For Christian Girls!
How
are you today Mrs. Daley?
I am fine. It’s Memorial
Day and I’ve been thinking about all the soldiers who have protected
us and
given us the freedom we have today in the U.S.
Can
you tell the readers a little about yourself? Like your life was the back of a
book?
I’m an award-winning author of eighty-four
books. My favorite genre to read and write is romantic suspense.
I have been married for over forty years and
taught special education in high school for twenty seven years
(now retired and writing full time). I’m a firm believer in
romance and love. When I’m not traveling, I’m
writing love stories, often with
a suspense thread and corralling my three cats
that think they rule my
household. To find out more about me, visit my website at http://www.margaretdaley.com.
Where
do you get your ideas?
I’m really not sure. They just come to me. I
then think about the idea, and it grows in my mind into
a full-fledge story.
What
inspires you to write?
The Lord. In fact, ultimately I think I get my
stories from Him. He is my inspiration.
When
did you know you wanted to write?
When I was a kid, I loved to make up stories,
especially when playing with my dolls. I was a
storyteller first and learned to
be a writer.
What’s
something not most people would know about you?
I don’t have a favorite color. I love all bright
colors.
What
do you like to do when you’re not writing? Any hobbies?
I love to read when I have the time and see
different places in the world. Also I love spending
time with my four
granddaughters.
{And
a few fun questions:}
Favorite
Scripture?
Psalm 23--love that one but there are a lot of
them I really connect with.
Favorite
kind of candy? Or try to stay away?
Snickers--anything with caramel.
Favorite
color the good Lord made?
I answered that above--orange, yellow, red and
then there is pink, aqua, green... You get the
picture--most of them.
Favorite
food?
Ice cream
Do
you own any pets?
I have three cats who adopted me. Before that I
had two dogs. I love animals.
That’s
all! Is there anything you would like to say to our readers?
I hope your readers will check out my books on
my website: http://www.margaretdaley.com.
I write about faith and family in my Love Inspired books and in my romantic
suspense
books--face-paced stories that take you on a ride.
