MONTANA SKIES by Mary Alford

Mary grew up in a small Texas town famous for not

much of anything really. As a teen, Mary discovered Phyllis Whitney and Victoria Holt and knew instinctively that was what she wanted to do.

She wrote her first novel as a teen, but never really pursued her writing career seriously until a few years later, when she wrote her first inspirational romantic suspense and was hooked.

Today, Mary still lives in Texas, and still creates people facing dangerous situations. In fact, she can’t think of anything else she’d rather do.

Welcome, Mary. If you could have dinner with one person from today or history (except Jesus) who would it be? Why?
Hum, that’s a tough one. I think if I could have dinner with one person I’d like to sit down with Laura Ingles Wilder. I loved Little House On The Prairie growing up. She lived such an amazing life. I’d love to just soak up the stories and maybe pick her brain a little on writing.

Where is your favorite vacation spot?
The Rocky Mountains. There’s just something about looking at those majestic peaks that ground me. I can see God’s hand everywhere I look. It kind of puts things in perspective for me. If God could create those magnificent mountains, my little problems are nothing For Him to guide me through.

Please describe yourself with three words.
Christian. Grandma. Author.

What is your favorite Bible verse? 
John 14: 1-3, King James Version (This verse finds its way into many of my books.)
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

What do you enjoy most about writing? 
Being able to create heroes and heroines I love, set them in any location or circumstance I want and then have them fall in love in the most romantic way. And when I write “The End” on their romance, I get to do it all over again.

Please tell us a little about your novel, Montana Skies.
Montana Skies is all about second chances. Cara

Stevens thought her life as well as her marriage was over but soon finds everything she has ever hoped for is right there waiting for her return.

Cara Stevens is finally coming back home to Cartwright, Montana. But will she find the place she longs for from her childhood or a past without hope?

Since Cara left Cartwright a little more than a year earlier, not much has changed. Except her life is in shambles, her heart broken and the man she thought she had left behind is standing before her claiming to be a changed man.
