Your journey as a writer began in second grade. Could you share how that early spark evolved into your current body of work? 

Yes, some of the stories have just always been in my head.  I have little paragraphs from my English writing assignments in second grade, that morphed later into the fully formed book – The Widow’s Heart.  Some of my characters and story ideas have been in my head for as long as I can remember 

The Carter Saga is set just after the Civil War. What drew you to this period, and how do you ensure historical accuracy in your storytelling? 

I do a ton of research to ensure historical accuracy, but also some of my own family history is involved. When I delved into genealogy I was fascinated to find pictures, tin types, and much more from that era.  People and their stories and history have always been of interest to me, so by extension, time periods also each have their own connections 

Beyond historical Christian romance, you’ve ventured into genres like fantasy, crime/suspense, and YA. What inspires your genre-hopping, and how do you adapt your writing style for each? 

Variety is joy for me.  I love to read multiple genres. I love many different types of music, foods, etc.  So the genre hopping was pretty natural for me. 

Living in North Dakota provides a unique backdrop. How does the environment influence your writing, especially during the long winters?

Well, when it is 40 below zero… staying home and writing is pretty easy.  The long winters provide a lot of time to write.  I love being in my cozy writing spot with a hot coffee, or tea, or hot cocoa, typing away while snuggling under a soft fuzzy blanket.  I also read a lot in the winter, which fuels the creativity.  I paint more in the winter too.  

You run a non-profit, Project Dignity. How do you balance your philanthropic work with your writing career? 

Sometimes one fuels the other.  Because I meet so many people of different backgrounds, life situations, etc with my philanthropic work, it gives me a wide perspective.  The different perspectives can spark creative ideas, character notes and more.  Project Dignity needs and timeline things tend to be semi random, and a little flexible, and I can write literally anywhere.. so they balance out well as far as the time needed for them goes. 

“Project Dignity enriches my perspective, giving me stories and insights I might not find otherwise.” – Noelle Myers

Your novels often feature themes of second chances and personal growth. Are these themes reflective of your personal beliefs or experiences? 

How can we grow, if we are not given a second chance?  Most people deserve a second chance.  Yes, these themes are highly important to me, and I try to give others, and myself opportunities to grow and stretch, and make mistakes, and do better. 

Food seems to play a role in your life and writing. Can you share how your love for food influences your storytelling? 

Food is one of my favorite ways to show love.  And one of the things I am good at.  So many memories of my grandmother and other loved ones are wrapped around food, so I hope to inspire that in my books.  Food is a great way to learn about another culture too.  As times have changed, so have our tastes, available foods, etc, and in writing historical fiction, writing about the food is a good way to give a glimpse into that time period.   

With 22 books to your name, what does your writing process look like from concept to publication? 

First comes the idea usually for a single book that then blossoms into a series… I generally scribble down a few paragraphs in a notebook, that I expand as new things – like character names, etc. – come to me.  Then I just pick one and start writing.  I tend to write chronologically, and can’t do more than one book at a time.  Once I finish the book, then comes editing.  I contact my cover artist. Tease the book on social media. Send the book to be edited, finish the edits, finalize the cover, then format and order proof copies of the book.  Then a proofreader goes through it, as do I.. then I make final changes and publish the book.  

Which of your characters do you feel most connected to, and why?

In general – the one I am writing.   There are things I love about most of my characters.  I could possibly pick a favorite book from each series. but every one of them has pieces of my heart in them.  Each character is a mosaic of people I love in real life.  I also tend to really love some of my secondary characters.  

What advice would you offer to aspiring authors looking to make their mark in the literary world? 

I don’t have any advice really – as I am still trying to make my own mark.  However, I will say, first you must write the book.  You must sit and write, finish the manuscript. Do the thing.  That is the hardest part.  Once you put THE END on your first manuscript, it gets both easier and harder.  But you cannot do anything if the page is empty. So write the book. It will be terrible. First drafts always are.  Then you fix it, rewrite parts, move things around, edit, edit, edit, then.. you have a book.  But first you must write the book.
