The Shattered Glass #RoadtoJubilation

Today's #RoadtoJubilation post is a bit introspective/ a downer, but it does pick up. I just feel like issuing a warning since #RoadtoJubilation is about making joy in life.

I'm going to speak about some stuff that happened with my car wreck and some realizations I've had.

#Interviews and #Book Reviews: Katja Rusanen

Today I have Katja Rusanen over to talk about her book And You Must Love Me and share some interesting facts about her in the writing world. 

I just love that book title. Makes me want to run and grab it off the eshelf! 

First off, let's get to know a little about Katja:

Katja Rusanen is a Finnish writer who has been living in Barcelona since 2004. 'And You Must Love Me' is her first novel. She also writes short stories, six of which have been published by Barcelona Connect magazine. She is a Spiritual Life Coach and is involved in charity work. In February 2012 she participated in a Kilimanjaro charity climb for the Amani Children's Home in Tanzania.

1. What first interested you in writing?

I have always wanted to write but kept postponing it with various reasons until the urge became so strong that I had no choice. It's often said that all fiction has a tiny kernel of truth at its centre, and in this story it's the traumatic event that changes Renate's life. This actually happened to me and I wanted to break the silence, as I want people who are going through the same difficulties to know that they are not alone!
