Featured Interview With Author Barbara Sontheimer
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I am a native of Missouri and still live in Missouri. I was the crazy cat lady, but sadly, they all passed away.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
My first novel was completed when I was nine. Thankfully it has been lost to the ravages of time.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Rosamund Pilcher, Anita Shreve, Lavyrlye Spencer. I love reading and watching movies, and with the movies I often find myself thinking "that character would never do that!" or "they should have done this!" so I started to write me own.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Victor's Blessing was published in November 2022. It was a labor of love. I spent 15 years researching and writing while working full-time and raising (or trying to) three teenagers.
Victor's Blessing is a love story told through the eyes of a Union soldier, from Ste. Genevieve Missouri. Most Civil War novels are told from the south's perspective, and I think writers tend to forget the whole other half of the country. It is a heartbreaking, tragic love story that transcends death.
