Today I had a slice of cake with author Havelah McLat.
Havelah began writing fairy stories and now likes to write a variety of genres; inspirational stories, contemporary clean romance, and adventure stories.
On most days when she's not writing stories, Havelah likes to read novels and biographies. Beside reading books, she likes to draw and watch YouTube videos from different writers and authors on their writing journey and the self-publishing industry.
What kind of books do you write?
I like writing stories that have struggles and conflicts. But I also enjoy adding important values and faith and love. While I enjoy writing those stories, I dabble in creating tales with whimsical elements, and other times stories take place many years ago. I don’t stick to one genre but I like to explore different avenues.
Can you describe your writing why?
When I was younger I liked to draw characters. My older sister likes to write and that’s where it got started. She would write something to go with characters I drew and I wanted to do what she does. As time went by, I found it inspiring and imaginative. I want to create stories that would inspire others as well.
Share with us your favourite passage from the book you enjoyed writing the most
Hmm, it is kind of hard to pick a favourite but I do like writing sweet moments between two characters in A Forever Summer when they look at the ocean and sunset. Here is a tiny paragraph from that book.
The waves crashed against the rocks below, and he touched Katherine’s hand. She didn’t move, instead, she drew beside him and listened to the serene nature.
Between the long pause of silence, Janson was relieved that she brought up the letters. Now, they sat together in one spot, his best friend in his arms.
Tell us about your latest project
I’m releasing an upcoming novel When You Returned in late April 2023. It is about a single mom who works at the ice rink and she loves to skate. However the rink is shutting down and she has to look for help. When she did things got complicated. She has to work with her ex-boyfriend who left her years ago. They have to work together to save the rink. That's the basic idea of the story. I’m never good at pitch. If you like to see the cover reveal and information about the preorder, then you can follow me on Instagram @havelahmclatwriter. Or sign up for the newsletter. Either way I will be sharing more about it then.
What is your favourite cake?
There are too many. But I like brownies and marble cake.
