Meet the Author Kay Talley

Meet Kay Talley Author of Beyond the Rain, Living Triumphantly in Grief.
 
When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer? 
I can’t remember not being passionate about writing and have always dreamed of someday having a book published. I have written many articles for various Christian publications, but this is my first book.

How long does it take you to write a book? 
This is my first book, and since it is a journal, the time to write would be different from writing some other kind of book.

What is your work schedule like when you're writing? 
I am employed full time and help take care of my aged mother so my writing work schedule is no schedule at all. Grab it when I can.

Do you have an interesting writing quirk? 
Listening to Christian music

Where do you get your information or ideas for your books?
I get most of my ideas from my own experiences and listening to Christian music.

What do you like to do when you're not writing? 
I love being with my children and their families I really enjoy reading, gardening, and long predawn walks, my favorite time with God.

What would you tell other Christian women who want to write? 
It takes a lot of courage and determination as well as encouragement from friends.

How many books have you written? Which is your favorite? 
This is my first book. It might always be my favorite since it has given me a great sense of accomplishment, as well as how God blessed me through very dark days.

Do you have any suggestions to help me become a better writer?  If so, what are they? 
Join writing clubs, read a lot, enter contests and learn all you can from other authors.

What do you like to read? 
Christian novels, (Francine Rivers and Karen Witemeyer) I also like the writings of  Lisa TerKeurst. Another one, though not a female writer, is Thomas Williams.

As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up? 
For as long as I remember, I dreamed of being a preacher’s wife, and doing mission work in Russia. I am so blessed to have experienced both.

Fun fact. 
I like a challenge, and often take it on.

Local Meet the Author Event and Book Signing at Polishing the Pulpit, 2015

What a beautiful morning! I don't normally wake as the sun comes up, because I am a night owl. But, this morning the sun was calling my name.

I have to admit that the view from our balcony was also begging me to come work outside. It's so nice and secluded. This morning I hear frogs, birds, and crickets singing. LOVE IT!

Today is another day at Polishing the Pulpit in Sevierville, TN. I am happy to report that I made a few more author contacts yesterday, so aside from book posts from some of your already favorite authors, there will be many new authors and books in the coming weeks.

Polishing the Pulpit is such a blessing to me. I've already gotten to speak to several people I haven't seen in years, and I'm getting to know new people!

If you want to swing by and meet me, I will be in and out of the vendor room. I have a table in the back. There is a large hand-painted story tree sign at my table. (Next one will be hand-painted on canvas!)

Please make sure you stop by. I have all of my books and would love for you to take a look at them. I would also be happy to sign them for you. So, if you purchase one, make sure to track me down.

I am planning a book signing for August 24, 2015 at 2:30 at PTP in front of the fireplace.

Also, Brother Mosher's book, The Book God "Breathed" is available, but the copies are limited. So, I'd get there fast if you want one.

There are also several other book vendors who have many of the Church of Christ Women Authors' Books in stock.

If you're at Polishing the Pulpit and want to know more about Church of Christ Women Authors there is a pamphlet on the table. I will also be glad to answer any questions you may have.

I hope to see you there! And if you're not in the area, maybe I'll catch you down the road!

Have a beautiful day!


"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." --Psalm 118:24


What are some of your favorite things to do in the morning?
