Author Interview – Harriet Hodgson

What is your favorite meal?

Because I love to cook I have many favorite meals. One of my favorites, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, represents my British heritage. Yorkshire pudding is a popover recipe cooked in a pie pan or other large pan. Sometimes I make Yorkshire pudding with half white and half wheat flour. I also use a combination of whole eggs and egg substitute to reduce the calories.

What color represents you?

Blue is my favorite color. It matches my blue eyes and, in color psychology terms, represents stability. I’m a stable, hard-working, reliable author.

What’s your next project?

So many people have asked me how I recovered from multiple losses, that I sat down and wrote the steps on paper. These steps became a talk and the talk became Seed Time: Growing from Life’s Disappointments, Losses, and Sorrows, my 33^rd book. Seed Time is in production now. It’s my eighth grief recovery resource and should be on Amazon by the end of October.

What’s your favorite place in the entire world?

This is an easy question to answer and my favorite place is home. I love being home with my husband, with my grandchildren when they return from college, and with relatives and friends. Home is a cozy, comforting place for me.

What is your greatest strength as a writer?

I think my greatest strength is to be able to research a topic, distill information, and state it in easy-to-read words. All of my books are written in a casual style and easy to read and speed read, if necessary.
