Author Interview and Excerpts: Elizabeth Forkey

Today I am interviewing Elizabeth Forkey, author of the YA Christian thriller novel, Immaculate, second book and of the Infectious series.

DJ: Hey Elizabeth! Thanks for stopping by to do this interview!

For readers who aren’t familiar with you, could you tell us a little about yourself?

Elizabeth Forkey: Thanks for having me! I’m a wife and mom of two sweet girls (one of them is fifteen so she’s sweet on and off) and I wear a lot of other hats as well. I’m a sugar artist and chocolate sculptor, a painter, and a nanny to the sweetest baby ever. I help lead worship at my church, and I help lead a Sunday school class. I also occasionally do some chainsaw carving…

DJ: What is Immaculate about? What can readers of the series expect in the latest installment? Anything new? Any surprises?

EF: IMMACULA†E is the second installment of Ivy’s story. Ivy has gotten herself into a lot of trouble and is in way over her head. There are some very big surprises that I won’t give away, but as always, Ivy’s story is an adventure that is guided by God’s gracious hand. As far away as she sometimes feels and as big as her trials get (she’s in some very deep doo-doo in IMMACULA†E), God is always right next to her, leading and protecting. IMMACULA†E is a Young Adult love story, and Tim and Matt are both incredible guys (for the longest time I wasn’t sure myself who she’d end up with), but ultimately the underlying theme of Ivy’s life and love is her relationship with her Creator. That’s the real love story.
