Would you say you are an extrovert or introvert?
I am definitely an introvert. I am usually very quiet and reserved unless I know you well.
Do you like to cook? If so, what are your favorite dishes to cook?
No, I don’t particularly like to cook, but I do like to eat so I do what I must do.
What movie(s) have you watched recently that you would recommend?
That’s difficult because I haven’t watched a good movie in a while. I’m not really sure about that one.
Do you like books being turned into a movie? If so, what is your favorite book-to-movie?
The Color Purple
If The Lovechild was turned into a movie who would you cast to play your characters?
Makaeli would be played by Halle Berry and her sister Lisa would be played by Angela Bassett.
Which social networks do you enjoy the most?
Facebook. You can find me at http://www.facebook.com/ashea.goldson.
What's next for you?
I have a story, “The Kit Cat Trial” in an anthology called Pets Across America which will be released in October. My next novel, Joy Comes In The Morning, releases in July of 2010. And I am currently working on the sequel, Count It All Joy.
ABOUT THE BOOK
In The Lovechild, Makaeli Hunt, a successful fashion designer, has been driven far away from home by her family’s dysfunction. While living in Italy, trying to heal the wounds of yesterday, ambition becomes her comforter. When a family emergency forces her to return to her home, in seven life altering days, amidst memories of a tumultuous past, will one revealed secret drive her away from her family and God forever? Or will she discover what it means to be God’s lovechild?
Dealing with issues of racism, depression, self-esteem, drug addiction, mental illness, verbal and physical abuse,The Lovechild is a story of redemption and re-dedication, confirming our victory in Jesus Christ.

Thank you for hosting me, Tia.
Thank you for participating in The Lovechild Blog Tour.
Great interview! I had been wanting to read this book for awhile, I am enjoying it!
Vanessa
Thank you, Vanessa. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Ashea wasn't kidding when she said she was an introvert, was she? lol
Wow. I thought she was about to give 5 word answers to all the questions.
But, such is the norm for us authors. It takes a certain quietness of the spirit to sit down and write something as relevant and timely as The Lovechild.
Her achievements speak volumes.
