| Laura V. Hilton |
Laura and her pastor-husband have five children and a hyper dog named Skye. They currently live in Arkansas. One son is in the U.S. Coast Guard. She is a pastor’s wife, and homeschools her two youngest children.
When she’s not writing, Laura enjoys reading, and visiting lighthouses and waterfalls. Her favorite season is winter, her favorite holiday is Christmas.
Welcome, Laura. What is your favorite dessert?
Cheesecake
How do people react when they find out you write?
One of three ways. 1. Oh, you write children’s stories? 2. Really. How interesting. Or 3. Oh, I am writing (or want to write) a book… let me tell you about it.
What’s your favorite place you have visited?
Upper Peninsula of Michigan
Lighting Round:
Vacation: Beach or Mountains? Beach – I live in the mountains.
Y’all or You Guys? Y’all
Biscuits or Dinner Roll? Crescent rolls. Love them.
Spring, summer, winter, or fall? Usually, winter, but love something about all of them.
Laptop or Desktop? laptop
Mug or teacup? Mug, but I collect tea cups.
Please tell us a little about your novel, Love By the Numbers.
After her fiancé dies in a buggy accident, Lydia Hershberger is invited to Jamesport to manage her
Bright and sparkly. That’s Caleb’s first impression of Lydia. He’s always been attracted to sparkly things. In fact, his affinity for those things, and the trouble they can cause, are exactly why he’s determined to change his ways and settle down. With Lydia’s aentie gone, he is handling the books for the gift shop and is forced to spend too much time in her presence.
When God offers Lydia a second chance at love and family, will she take it? Or will the secret Caleb harbors cause her even more heartbreak?

DeleteYes, I love cuckoo clocks and up until a while ago, my old one hung on the wall. However, it no longer worked and parts were broken or missing. My mom had brought it back from the Black Forest of Germany when I was about 17 years old. I felt bad getting rid of it, but it was time. Went to Europe this summer and checked them out and they were very pricey. So for the moment all I could get was a magnet cuckoo clock for the fridge! sonja dot nishimoto at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI bet the magnet one is cute though!

DeleteWe do not have a cuckoo clock but we have a grandma clock (a bit smaller than a grandfather clock). It no longer works but I think it's pretty. Laura's book sounds really good. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity.

DeleteI don't have a cuckoo clock and I'm not sure that I could get used to one, especially in the night hours. My dad was given a clock when he retired and it chimed every hour. During his illness I often spent the night and it interrupted my sleep many times. Perhaps I could get used to it ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your giveaway.
Blessings!

DeleteI do love them and I have one. My sons girlfriend at the time brought back to me from Germany. Mine doesn't go off at night. If it does I don't hear it. Opposite ends of house. Love them though a thing of the pass. Love Laura's books this one sounds wonderful.

ReplyDeletethis looks like a wonderful book. I don't think I have read a book with a clock maker. I love clocks. No I have never owned a cuckoo clock. My grandma had one and the cuckoo's drove me crazy. LOL

DeleteI don't have a cuckoo clock but my sister-in-law has one from Germany. Her Dad was career Army and met her Mom while stationed there. I always like seeing it when I visit, because it's very old and first belonged to her grandparents. It's beautifully handcarved and I know Shirley is passing it down to her daughter Magen, who is getting married in July. Love all your books, and thanks for the contest.

DeleteI don't own a cuckoo clock myself, but my in-laws have a beautiful one that plays different songs each hour. :) They also have a patriotic setting for near July 4th and a Christmas carol setting that they play from October-February! <3 I love listening to it.

DeleteWe do indeed have several cuckoo clocks in our home. We have recently moved into a smaller home after moving to the other end of the state so we don't have as many up now as we use to. At present there are three hanging. I've always loved them but I'll have to admit when we were contemplating getting our first one I worried about the constant noise or disrupting our sleep when did the hour and half hour toll. However, it's really amazing how fast you get accustomed to them. You eventually don't even hear them, day or night, unless you are really listening for them. I still love the sound when I have a time during the day when I'm not running around with mind occupied with a dozen things and I do hear them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the amazing chance to win a copy of "Love By the Numbers"! The paperback version would be my choice.

DeleteActually, yes, I do have a cuckoo clock. My sweet husband bought it for me when we first got married. We lived in California and went for a weekend to Solvang... very Scandinavian. It was there he purchased it for me. But, I never wound it up. I don't like unexpected noises, and knew I wouldn't be able to tolerate the sound of it. So, I hung it unwound, and just appreciated it when I happened to pass it in the kitchen. (I haven't seen that clock in years!) Cuckoo clocks aside, Laura's book sounds good... the premise. I'd love to read it.

DeleteWhen my husband and I were stationed in Berlin, Germany, we bought Cuckoo clocks for everyone in the family - but came home without one for our home. I've always regretted that. I love Amish stories and would be very happy to win a paperback copy of this book.(I own a Kindle, but I still prefer to hold a book in my hands when I read.)teachesl3ATaolDOTcom

DeleteMy aunt's friend collects cuckoo clocks. On every wall of her house, whether the wall is big or small, hangs a cuckoo clock. They have a 2 story house. All that noise would drive me cuckoo.
