Today on Wednesday with the Writers, we are very excited to have Cahri and Prince Josiah from One Choice here today! Their story is told by Ginger Solomon... let's see if they are happy about how she portrayed it...
~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~
Did you ever think that your life
would end up being in a book?
Cahri: Never.
I’m a boring missionary kid who decided to stay in the country where my parents
served and died. I went to work, and came home to Stormy, my cat. Nothing in my
life was book worthy. Even when the Bridal March began, I stayed well away from
the limelight. I’d rather watch than be watched; consequently I’d rather read,
than be read about.
What are your favorite scenes in
your book: the action, the dialog or the romance?
Cahri
(blushing): The romance. I want to forget some of the action, but I don’t think
I will, ever. (she sobers then brightens) The romance, on the other hand, keeps
me going. I’m a practical woman, but I enjoy a dance in the moonlight, or
flowers for no reason at all. A few kisses from my love makes me forget all the
bad things in the world.
Did you have a hard time convincing
your author to write any particular scenes for you?
Prince Josiah:
Actually, there is at least one scene I wish she hadn’t written. I acted like a
fool, and she had to go and put it out there for everyone to see. Maybe someone
out there reading our story will learn from my mistakes. Maybe someone will
learn not to jump to conclusions or assume that what seems to be happening is
the truth. There’s this new show on TV in the US that talks about how easily
our brains can be fooled by focusing on one thing and not seeing the whole
picture. Since Ginger so brazenly put my foolishness before the world, I at
least want God to use it to help someone else.
What do you like to do when you are
not being actively read somewhere?
Cahri: The same
things I did when Ginger was stalking us as she wrote our story. I spend a
great deal of time in the garden. I just love the garden. Sometimes Prince
Josiah and I will go for a ride. Now that I have more responsibilities in the
palace, I spend a lot of time in the office that Josiah and I share. Cook has
even allowed me to invade her domain once in a while, as long as I don’t try to
clean up after myself — which drives me crazy. I made the mess, why shouldn’t I
clean it up? Oh, sorry, went a little off the question there. When it’s nice
out, I’ll go swimming with Stormy. I’ll splash him, then he’ll climb out of the
pool, acting all indignant like any cat. Next thing I know he’s jumping in
right next to me, splashing me. He meows. I think it’s his kitty laugh.
Sometimes Prince Josiah will join us, but Stormy doesn’t like him to come much,
I don’t think. I get a bit distracted (she blushes, again), and don’t focus on
him as much. He’s a very jealous pet.
Do you like the way the book ended?
Prince Josiah:
Well, one of Ginger’s friends commented that the romance at the end should have
been drawn out a bit more, but I appreciated the privacy. After all, it was our
wedding night and I really didn’t want any more interruptions.
Would you be interested in a sequel,
if your writer was so inclined?
Cahri
and Prince Josiah: Not for us. We think Anaya deserves
her own book. Matthias too. But they’ve refused to share their stories with
Ginger for the moment. We’ll keep working on them, though. Maybe one day.
