Welcome to our faculty five post, where you’ll learn five fun facts about the BRMCWC 2017 faculty. This week, we’ll hear from authors Tosca Lee & Lynette Eason, as well as Paula Mowery, acquisitions editor from Prism Book Group, an imprint of Pelican Book Group.
Tosca Lee
- Last year I married my love–a single father and farmer–and became an insta-mom to four. I have yet to receive my motherhood manual or energy supplements from the Office of the Comptroller of Parenthood. Please advise.
- I love binge watching TV, extra-buttered movie popcorn, playing video games with my kids and sleeping in. I’m a teenager in a 47-year-old’s body.
- I live in a house full of boys and a dog who drinks out of the toilet. Every time I sit on a wet bathroom seat, I don’t know who to blame.
- I hate to wash my hair but want you to wash yours.
- Bacon.
Lynette Eason
- I’m very hard of hearing and need people to look at me when they speak to me. So if you call my name and I don’t answer, I’m not ignoring you, I promise!
- I adore the show Blue Bloods.
- I’m an introvert and would rather observe than participate in many situations.
- I eat Gluten Free. #somissmygluten
- I hate summer. #takeitoffthecalendar
Paula Mowery
- As an interpreter for the deaf, I had to teach my hubby the “dirty” signs so he wouldn’t embarrass deaf church members or me.
- I’m addicted to Diet Dr. Pepper and Reese’s eggs, trees, and hearts (these have the proper chocolate to peanut butter ratio) and Peanut Butter M&Ms. My perfect writing motivation.
- My daughter says that next to the word “quirky” in the dictionary is my picture. She usually follows that with: “I mean that in a good way. Really.”
- A file under my desk contains 15 novels I had written before I submitted and was contracted for my first published book. Now that’s a lot of practice!
- Acquiring editor was never on my list of possible positions I would hold. But through circumstances only God could arrange, I fell into this most rewarding job.
The Conversation
Paula, Paula Paula! Now I know why you really offered me a contract for my manuscript. Somehow you instinctively knew that I, too, am addicted to Diet Dr. Pepper and Peanut M&Ms (okay, I’d say peanut butter M&Ms are an awfully close second). And all this time I thought it was just my outstanding writing ability that caught your attention 🙂
