A little about Edith Hughes-Hill:

Edith Hughes-Hill, Ms. Edie to family and friends, is a Philadelphia native who at an early age committed her life to serving her savior through missionary work. She was nurtured to be a foreign missionary but was sidetracked by marriage and family obligations. However, her status did not hinder her devotion to caring for the needs of the misfortunate. She has received awards for outstanding work at her place of employment. Recognition at  church acknowledging her sacrifice for the needs of others, Big Sister of the Year Award from Big Sister and Big Brothers Association as well as being a recipient of the Chapel of The Four Chaplains Community Service Award.

What made you want to write inspirational novels?

From my personal life experiences I recognize the need for a positive uplifting, yet enjoyable message. Books are truly the mirrors to the world and an escape from the negative. I wanted to write stories that would allow the reader to get lost in the story and temporarily forget anything in their life displeasing.

What do you enjoy doing most when you aren't writing?

When I am not writing, I enjoy cooking, gardening or performing various missionary tasks.

Since you are an inspirational writer, who or what inspires you?

Life inspires me. People inspire me and the many blessings I have received inspires me to tell of the goodness of the Lord.

Which book did you enjoy writing most?

I consider this to be an unfair question, as each of my novels are like my own birthed children, which I labored diligently over. Wings Can Be Mended is the novel I lean more towards because I see my literary growth in it.

What would you suggest to aspiring authors chasing after their dream?

I would tell an inspiring author to go for it and enjoy each word. Avoid seeking out friends and family to critique your novel. Your request puts them in an uncomfortable position, as they tend to walk lightly in fear of damaging your fragile feelings. I adamantly say: Learn the Computer. Learn the Computer.
