Author Interview 

1. Why did you choose to write non-fiction? I enjoy writing about life's experiences and
my readers can find my writings in publications such as Chicken Soup for the Soul,
Guidepost and my new book Suddenly Unemployed.

2. Why did you choose to write about this particular topic? I felt the Lord placed on my
heart to share our financial crisis to let others going through similar struggles know they
are not alone and that God cares for them too.

3. What is your writing area like? I live in the majestic Santa Cruz mountains and am
blessed to be among the coast redwood trees which naturally inspire my writing
creativity.

4. How do you balance writing time with other things? I recently became an empty nester
allowing me time to write while my children are at college.

5. Do you think reading helps you with writing? Absolutely. Reading other books gives us
a peak into different writing styles and helps hone our craft.

More from Rebecca

I felt lead to write Suddenly Unemployed – 52 Personal Stories of Hope & Encourgagement through Financial Crisis describing our family’s experience with job loss and financial crisis. I know firsthand not having the concentration needed to read a novel while enduring a crisis. My focus was on the basics necessities of shelter, food and clothing. Hence, I wrote fifty two bite size stories that can be read one per week for a year and split the sixteen year jouney into three distinct sections of entering, navigating and exiting the crisis.

Although this time period was painful, my trust and faith in God along with personal character grew. These qualities helped navigate me through further trials such as a COVID world, California wildland fire, loss of parents, empty nest syndrome and more.

Some people hide their struggles from others. I chose to openly share our story with the hope it will encourage the readers as they read about God’s goodness woven throughout our book. Perhaps they will say to themselves, “If God carried the Krusees through the toughest storme of their lives, maybe He will carry me and my family too.”
