Featured Interview With Sarah Norkus
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Hi fellow readers,
My name is Sarah Norkus and I grew in the Bluegrass state and horse country…Lexington, Kentucky. Mt father was the editor of a horse-racing magazine. Nine days after I turned eighteen I married Michael Norkus…now a retired army officer. It was, to me, the adventure of a lifetime. We were stationed in multiple states and twice overseas, in Germany. We’ve retired just south of Richmond, VA, where I write Christian novels, and my husband hunts and goes fishing.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I became fascinated with books at the age of five, especially horse themed books, such as ‘The Black Stallion’ and ‘Misty.’ Unlike most authors I did not have that burning desire to write from a young age. My father was the writer…and I was an athlete. At the age of 48 I penned my first book, an inspirational/creative non-fiction, and henceforth I was hooked. Who knew I had such a vivid imagination…certainly not me.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love suspense and murder mysteries. Preston and Childs, and Lee Childs are among my multitude of favorite authors. My inspiration comes from my father in Heaven. To him be the glory and his son, Christ the Lord.
