Today I’m so pleased to introduce you to my friend and fellow-writer, Jodie Wolfe! Jodie is represented by the same literary agent as I am, Linda Glaz of Hartline Literary Agency.
Jodie Wolfe was bitten by the writing bug as a young girl after reading and watching Little House on the Prairie. Laura Ingalls Wilder’s influence also instilled a love of history, particularly the 19th Century. Jodie’s books provide history, hope, laughter & happily-ever-afters. You can find her here: Jodie’s Website.
Karla: Jodie, I’m so glad you’re with us today. Tell us a little bit about your writing space.
Jodie: I currently have a desk on one wall of my dining room. I know it’s not an ideal spot and I hope to soon change to a real office A.K.A. a former bedroom of one of my kids who has left the nest. ๐ Actually both have left the nest, but the other bedroom is a craft room/guest bedroom.
The computer started out here when my boys were young and we wanted to have it in a main area so we knew what our kids were doing online. My space has grown to overflowing bookcases, full file cabinets and papers strewn everywhere. The ‘No Whining’ sign was hung as a reminder for my kids… but I guess I need it too. Can you tell I need an office?
Karla: I love the sign over your computer. I need to get me one of those. How long do you write each day?
Jodie: I’m typically at my desk 4-6 hours a day, five days a week working on Christian historical romances, blogging, or working on increasing my platform. Chocolate is always close by as well as sunflower seeds. I heard the seeds are good for brain and memory, although I’m not too sure it’s working. On the off days you might find me on my tablet in between spending time with my husband or trying to do shudder housework.
Karla: What are you working on now?
Jodie: My newest project, A Place to Belong,ย is set in Shippensburg, PA in 1877. Hannah Moore is unable to hold any job for more than a week due to numerous fiascos, but sheโs determined to earn her way. When she takes a position as companion to an ailing woman, Hannah had no idea the lady is related to the snarky clerk at the local hardware store or she would’ve refused. Luke Weiser has no interest in marriage and is driven to ensure his grandmother’s needs are provided for while maintaining a distance from the feisty, new live-in caregiver disturbing his life. Will they continue to resist each other or find a place of belonging?
Karla:ย Jodie, thanks so much for sharing your lovely writing space with us today. Where can we find you on the web?
Jodie:ย You can find me here:

So glad to have you, Jodie! Write on!
I too love the sign! Sometimes I need it for myself as well as my daughter.
I know what you mean, J’nell. That sign should signify no excuses when it comes to writing. ๐

You’re very welcome, Janice. Jodie is a wonderful writer. I’m honored she participated on my blog.
Thank you, Janice and Karla for your kind words. They touched me.
I tweeted. My desk is a recliner and my laptop.
Thank you for the tweet, Elaine. ๐ Your writing desk sounds much more comfortable. I think if I did that I’d fall asleep.
Jodie, A PLACE TO BELONG sounds like a sweet read. I love the title!
Thanks, Elaine. I’m hoping it will be a sweet read. I guess I’d better get it written first. ๐
