This month, I interviewed Gina Holder.
Bio: Gina Holder is an indie author
and stay-at-home mom. She’s had an infatuation with books for as long as she
can remember. She loves sharing uplifting messages from God’s Word and
introducing readers to new and new-to-them authors on her blog. When she’s not
writing, Gina enjoys playing the piano, cooking, reading, watching
Hallmark mysteries, and solving “escape room” puzzles. She loves growing in her
craft as an author. She published her debut novel in 2017. Gina lives
in Wyoming with her husband and daughter.
How many books have you written?
I have written eleven books since 2015. One historical
missionary drama, a romantic suspense trilogy, two cozy mysteries, one suspense
novella, three children’s books, and the first book in a new romantic suspense
series releasing in June with Scrivenings Press.
What do you enjoy most about writing books?
I’ve been creating imaginary worlds and telling stories as
far back as I can remember. My favorite part of writing books has to be
creating something that entertains readers and inspires them in their walk with
God. The greatest blessing I have ever received is a note from a reader sharing
how God used my book to touch their heart and change their life.
What is your latest release?
My latest release is Home Baked Bribery, book 2 of my
Addie Masters Mysteries. Home Baked Bribery is a cozy mystery set in a
coastal town in Massachusetts and centered on a local baking competition where
a guest celebrity judge dies suddenly of what appears to be anaphylactic shock.
Full of lovable pets and quirky characters,
Are you a pantser or a plotter?
I am a 100% pantser. I have some general idea how I want a
story to go—I’ve fleshed out my characters, and I see a few vital scenes in my
head that I need to aim for, but otherwise, I just start typing and see what
happens.
Blurb: The annual Rockport bake sale and
competition is underway. The stakes are higher than ever for the coveted Golden
Whisk Award when a high-profile celebrity chef is brought in as a surprise
guest judge.
The competition takes a deadly turn when the celebrity
suffers an allergic reaction.
When Addie’s nemesis, Kennedy Graves is banned from the competition for using
almond extract, Addie volunteers to prove Kennedy innocent. As Addie
investigates the death, she learns each of the local bakers had a motive to
dislike the celebrity. But did one of them kill him?
Meanwhile, hundred-year-old twins, Poppy and Marigold, keep Addie hopping,
looking for their missing dogs.
Will Addie be able to uncover the truth behind the celebrity judge’s death, or
will she become the next victim of the mysterious shenanigans going on in
Rockport?
