Author Mini-view:

Hey, everybody! I hope you're having a wonderfully blessed week! I'm thrilled to introduce the lovely Allyson Carter and her new book to you today. Let's get this interview started!

Tell us a bit about yourself and your writing.


I’m a mama and wife. I have 4 kids with three on the autism spectrum. Our children are homeschooled. I’ve been writing off and on since middle school, but seriously for 6 years.


How did you get started? 


Six years ago I started writing seriously and for publication. I was snowed in with the kids and going crazy. A book idea came to me and wouldn’t let me go. I had to write it down.


How many books have you written? 



I’ve written eleven books…only some of those have been published. Most under my pen name that I no longer use or write in that genre, one which is my newest release now under my name.


Where are you on your writing journey? 



Even though I’ve been published before I feel like I’m just starting. I thank God for this everyday to start over.


What is your favorite Bible verse? 



1 Corinthians 2:9: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”


What have you read lately that you would recommend? 



I would say anything by Julie Lessman. Another good book would be Redeeming Love by Francis Rivers.


What book are you featuring today? 



My Christian debut Hearts Undone. Here's the blurb:

After a bitter divorce, Shelby Johnson is looking to rebuild a life for herself and her daughter, Hannah, while avoiding the thing she mistrusts most: men. Her resolve is tested, however, when her brother’s best friend, Mark, moves in across the street and her long-buried feelings for him rise to the surface. Can she open up her heart again? When someone threatens her life, she realizes that her heart isn’t the only thing on the line. She turns to the only man she feels she can trust.

Mark Daniels returns to his hometown to solve a crime committed in the military. When he gets caught up in Shelby's troubles, he knows she needs someone to protect her, but can he be that man? Being around her again is forcing him to face the way he feels—something he’d rather not do. When his past comes to haunt him, he vows to protect Shelby and her daughter until his last breath.

Through God's love, Shelby and Hannah find their way into Mark's heart. Will there be room for God too?


If you could tell people who are going to read/have read your books one thing, what would it be? 


How life is messy. I aim for showing imperfection in my books and how God fixes that. How we need Him to come in and fix us, because no one else can. I also tackle how believers can stumble and how God is waiting there with open arms. I hope they take away of how great God is, and that His hand is in every situation.
