As I grew older, she brought books home from the library for me to read myself. I loved books and reading, and soon I was creating my own stories just for fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>How has music influenced your writing?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My father loved music. He was always singing, whistling, playing his harmonica, playing records, or listening to the radio. I learned to love music too. Over the years many songs have been a blessing to me. As I write I\u2019m often reminded of special songs, and it seems natural to include them in my writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What style of music do you enjoy most?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years I\u2019ve enjoyed different styles of music. As a child I spent hours listening to the radio and to my parents\u2019 record albums. Now I\u2019m especially drawn to Christian music. I love the old hymns and some of the newer inspirational worship songs. They have a major impact on my life and my writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rOmipqhQBOM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You are releasing your debut middle grade novel. What was your inspiration for this story?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I began writing <em>Under the Tangerine Tree<\/em> after my dad died in 2005. I loved my dad, and even though I knew he was in heaven, I still missed him. I\u2019d also met many children who lost their fathers due to death or divorce. I wanted to write a book that would help children deal with grief and allow me to express my own feelings of missing my dad. In addition, I had a desire to share God\u2019s love and help children understand the gospel. It\u2019s such a blessing to know that when we receive the Lord Jesus as Savior, we become children of God and have a heavenly father who will always be there for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Under the Tangerine Tree\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"525\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_C2fjQeuPlsh7Al&#038;asin=B09Q967G6Q&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What advice would you like your young (or older) readers to take away from your novel?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope my readers will understand that even though this life is filled with challenges, life is good, and they can have hope. Why? Because God loves them, and He has a wonderful plan for their lives. When people understand the gospel, they have the opportunity to receive Christ. That can be a blessing for them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more about Esther, visit her website: <a href=\"http:\/\/esthermbandy.com\/\">http:\/\/esthermbandy.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.blubrry.com\/?media_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.blubrry.com%2Fmusic_book_club%2Fcontent.blubrry.com%2Fmusic_book_club%2FThe_Art_of_Books_with_Artist_illustratorHeather_Deiter.m4a&amp;podcast_link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rescotcreative.com%2Fit%2F2022%2F01%2F25%2Fthe-art-and-music-of-books%2F#mode-Light&border-000000&progress-000000\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"165\" frameborder=\"0\" id=\"blubrryplayer-1\" class=\"blubrryplayer\" title=\"Blubrry Podcast Player\"><\/iframe><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_m4a\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/music_book_club\/content.blubrry.com\/music_book_club\/The_Art_of_Books_with_Artist_illustratorHeather_Deiter.m4a\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/it\/?powerpress_pinw=4817-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/music_book_club\/content.blubrry.com\/music_book_club\/The_Art_of_Books_with_Artist_illustratorHeather_Deiter.m4a\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"The_Art_of_Books_with_Artist_illustratorHeather_Deiter.m4a\">Download<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, we&#8217;re looking at how art and music play a huge role in books.
