Interview with Marcia Lee Laycock

Mar 092009
 

Marcia Lee Laycock has two short pieces in Hot Apple Cider. The first, "An Almost Silent Friendship," on page 41, relates an experience Marcia had shortly after she became a Christian, when she attended a retreat with a number of other women, all of whom were strangers. The second is a devotional called "Searching for Something That Fits" on page 155. marcia01423

Marcia’s writing began in the attic of her parents’ home where she wrote stories for her dolls. They didn’t complain so she kept it up. God has blessed her with publication in magazines, newspapers, on radio and the web. Her work has garnered praise from notable writers Mark Buchanan, Sigmund Brouwer, Phil Callaway and Janette Oke. Her first devotional book, The Spur of the Moment won an Award of Merit at Write Canada and her novel, One Smooth Stone, won the Best New Canadian Christian Author Award in 2006.
