Author Interview Series: Writers’ Quirks Featuring Charissa Dufour

Today on Writers' Quirks, I'm interviewing author Charissa Dufour. 

Thanks for joining me, Charissa! Let's get to some quirky questions....

Have you ever fallen in love with one of your characters?

Guest Post and Book Spotlight: Aging Gracefully with the 23rd Psalm by Dr. Sharon V. King

What inspires someone to write a book about aging? Well, how about getting older—as old as you thought “old” was when you were a kid. When I was fifteen, fifty sounded really old. When I turned fifty, fifty sounded like, maybe, middle age. Oh, how our perspectives about aging shift when we’re the ones getting older! My inspiration for my new book, Aging Gracefully with the 23rd Psalm, came from two sources: 1) my 50th birthday celebration and
