 Nothing is more important to Amelia Cox than her faith. As she enters puberty, she vows to remain a virgin and not share herself with another man until her wedding day. So begins the journey as she searches for her happily ever after.
Amelia grows into a beautiful, desirable woman and finally catches the eye of Gabriel, the man she’s loved since they were kids in Sunday school. Amelia must now reconcile her budding sexuality and her desire to remain faithful to herself. Will she be able to remain committed to her vow when the raging 1960s culture around her screams otherwise?

Along her journey, Amelia learns patience, forgiveness, perseverance, and ultimately love. In Straight as an Arrow, the bedroom door is thrown open wide to reveal what really takes place in the marriage bed of the faithful.

  • Describe your ideal writing space. Sitting in front of my computer in a comfy chair with a mug of coffee off to the side as I listen to the oldies.

 

  • Describe your ideal home library. Another comfy overstuffed chair as I lounge in front of a picture window, close enough to the kitchen where I can run for a quick refill of my favorite beverage-peach ice tea.

  • Who would you want to play the lead roles if this book were a movie? Someone innocent looking, young, fresh looking and very handsome. Most of my favorite actors are too old to portray these characters.

      Karen-I’m a very OLD author…but have been writing since I was 17 years old. My first manuscript I sent off to Random House Publishing Co. Needless to say it was returned. So I didn’t write again for 50 years. But then I joined my local public library that had a Writers’ Club and I’ve been righting ever since. I hope you will enjoy the read.

      Sherry- from Glasgow, KY–Virginia has a Glasgow too-only about 12 miles from where I live in the foothills of the Jefferson National Forest. Though 17 years separate us in age, I hope you can relate to Amelia and Gabriel’s story.

      Ms. Virginia C-From one Virginian to another-thank you. It was an era I knew well having grown up in a Southern town in Virginia where folks were still conservative and God-fearing with values passed down to us from our parents and grandparents. I hope I was able to describe the flavor and morality of the times.

      bn100 – Mascot found just the right concept for Straight As An Arrow showing the innocence and job that comes from young love. Their art department blew me away…and I fell in love with my own book!

    A beautiful cover and an intriguing synopsis, this sounds like a must read for me. Thank you for sharing your author interview and book details, I have enjoyed reading about you and your work and am looking forward to reading your story

      Thank you for your kind words, Ms. LaRocca, I sincerely hope you enjoy the read as it was a labor of love for me to write it. To go back in time to tell of the experience of one lonely girl growing up in America. was very cathartic. I image there were many young ladies who felt much like Amelia did in the turbulent, ever-changing times of the 1960s and 1970s.

    Danielle-I look at the cover of Straight As An Arrow everyday and fall a little more in love with it. I sent 1970s pictures to Mascot so they could get the era look down pat…a few tweaks here and there and I believed their art department nailed the look I was going for—innocence and joy of a first love. To me–it was a very romantic time. Hope you love the book as much as I enjoyed writing it. It was was a true labor of love.
