Interview with writer Katie Wood Ruffin

Her book isn’t publish yet… but soon!!

Nestled in picturesque Laurel, Mississippi, between the silt and sand banks of the Leaf River and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico, what should’ve been an evening of celebration for eighteen year old Neely McIntire, suddenly turns into a full-blown nightmare. A mysterious accident at her graduation party ignites the fuse, connected to a nefarious plan cooked up by a handsome stranger, Andrew Huckley, which threatens to shatter the lives of everyone Neely loves. After having her world thrown into chaos, not only will Neely’s tragedy change the lives of everyone she cares about forever, but thanks to Andrew, it could quite possibly destroy her. .

Your host John Rakestraw talks with writer Katie Wood Ruffin.

She states, “What’s it about?, Sounds like a simple enough question right? Na-uh, it ain’t. Remember how I told you most people stop listening after five sentences? Well this question is a perfect example of how those five little sentences can either gain you a reader or push one away. Now I bet you can see why I’m thinking of biting my nails. Naw, not really cause that’s just vile. Too many days spent with my fingers in other people’s mouths completely eliminates the idea of biting one’s nails for me. But I digress, thanks to dental hygiene.

Unfortunately, because of my wretched five sentence phobia, there’s no other way for me to tell you about this book. So without anymore nerve-induced babbling, I’m proud to introduce you to a short paragraph about Neely’s story and my novel.” Join us as we all find out… What’s it about?
