Guest Post: Author S.K. Falls

I first met S.K. Falls when her title, The World of Shell and Bone popped up under The Breeders on Amazon. Once I read her book, I knew we were kindred souls. Her new release is here and I'm very excited about it. The premise is one that makes you think, "Gee, I wish I'd thought of that." Today she is she's discussing tough scenes and what they meant to her. Enjoy. 



Which was the hardest scene you wrote in Secret for a Song?


This was an interesting thing to think about because Secret for a Song  was such a challenging novel, on the whole, to write. Picking just one or two scenes was tough!

Don’t get me wrong—it’s the most emotional story I’ve ever written, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. But still, writing the novel was emotionally exhausting. This was especially because I knew from my research on Munchausen syndrome that there were people out there who had to live it every day.

On top of that I grew really attached to Saylor, and I wanted nothing more than to protect her. But I knew to really do her story justice, I had to put her through the wringer and show what pieces of her were left to come out on the other side.

So, to answer the question, I’d say one of the hardest scenes I wrote was the scene with Saylor and Drew at her family’s cabin. It’s heartbreaking because Saylor knows at that point that she wants to come clean. We get to see her measure and weigh everything she says and everything they do together in a way that she hasn’t before. It was incredibly hard to write, but was also one of the most cherished scenes I’ve written.

Another awfully hard scene to write was Drew falling outside the store when he and Saylor are getting signatures for a petition. The scene was based on research I’d done of Freidrich’s Ataxia and what people experience before they become wheelchair-ridden. You get to experience Drew’s astonishing inner strength, but you also hate that he even has to go through something like that. Again, a really difficult scene that left a big lump in my throat, but I think it was important so the reader could see the kind of man Drew is.

Thanks so much for having me here today, Katie!

Bio:

A huge fan of spooky stuff and shoes, I enjoy alternately hitting up the outlet malls and historic graveyards in Charleston, SC where I live and imbibe coffee. My husband and two small children seem not to mind when I hastily scribble novel lines on stray limbs in the absence of notepads.

Since no writer’s biography is complete without mention of her menagerie of animals, you should know I have one dog that doubles as a footstool, a second that functions as a vacuum cleaner, and a cat that ensures I never forget that my hands are, first and foremost, for pouring cat food.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
