author-photo-mediumFeatured Interview With J. Grace Pennington

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I am a Christian in my mid-twenties living in the Dallas area. Texas is my home through and through; I was born in Houston and lived there until I was nine, then lived in the Hill Country until recently. I have no pets, sadly, at least not with me. I do have a palomino quarter horse named Pioneer back home, but he was too big to fit in my Trailblazer for the ride up here.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I honestly don’t remember learning how to read. I just remember reading the Little House on the Prairie books at age four. Shortly after that, when I was about five, I was bored while my mom and siblings were napping and my dad was at work, and it occurred to me that I could write a story like the ones I knew how to read, so I did so. And I never stopped!

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I don’t even know if I have a favorite genre to read. I just love a good story, whether that’s sci-fi, romance, drama, thriller, non-fiction, or whatever. I also can’t possibly list my favorite authors, but among them are C. S. Lewis, Charles Dickens, Daniel Schwabauer, and Frank Peretti. All of them have had an impact on my writing and my stories in one way or another.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book, Implant, is a YA time-travel dystopia about a nineteen-year-old boy with leukemia who gets pulled into a future where everyone is controlled by means of a medical implant that can cure almost anything. Of course, he’s expected to save the day. Along the way he meets Neil, the idealistic and energetic leader of the rebels and Doc (my favorite), the mysterious and hardened doctor who helps the rebels’ cause–or does he? I wrote the story back in 2011, but only edited it and finally published it last August. It has a few shocking plot twists that have kept all my readers guessing!
