Tanya Eavenson - Unconditional

Good Monday Morning Readers!

Today, Tanya Eavenson visits Lagniappe to discuss her latest release, Unconditional.

Welcome, Tanya!


Tell us a little about Unconditional

Unconditional is a story of a husband and wife who struggle with disappointment and heartache and ask if marriage is worth fighting for. But it’s also a story of how God’s grace can lead to healing beyond the imagination because with God, nothing is impossible. 


He will fight for her at any cost...

Elizabeth Roberts can't remember her past, and the present is too painful. She turns to nightclubs and drinking to forget her infant daughter's death, her husband's affair.

When his wife's coma wiped out the memory of their marriage, Chris Roberts found comfort elsewhere. He can't erase his betrayal, but with God's help he’s determined to fight for Elizabeth at any cost.

She wants to forget. He wants to save his marriage. Can they trust God with their future and find a love that’s unconditional?

Do you listen to music when you write? If so, what's on your writing playlist these days?
Great question! When I have a tough scene to write and need a certain emotion to come through, I’ll listen to music. Several artists on my playlist consist of Shane & Shane, Plumb, Tenth Avenue North, and Mandi Mapes.

What Bible verse speaks to you the most?
I’d have to say Philippians 4: 6-7.Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

For Christmas, do you prefer white lights or colored lights on your Christmas tree?
I can’t decide! =) Every year we add both white lights and colored lights to our Christmas tree, then when the mood hits for a certain color, I plug in the lights.

What is the best WRITING advice you’ve received?
The best writing advice I’ve ever received was to never give up. Writing isn’t easy and the journey has so many highs and lows that if you gave up, you’d never know the person you’d become or the hearts you’d touch in the process.   


What can we expect from you in the future? 
The next novel in the Unending Love series is called Restored. Restored is based off my secondary character, Dr. Steven Moore, from Unconditional. He’s the tall, dark, and handsome type, but not only is he good looking, his heart for the Lord is his driving force. He lives for what is true and right, even if it breaks him in the process. I actually loved Steven’s character so much, I had to write it! Steven’s story releases winter of 2016 and I can’t wait!

I am a family historian and have not written in awhile.
I concentrate my time reviewing Christian Fiction. Oh,I guess I'm a writer.
My goal is to write Letters to Moma based on 3 years of letters my father wrote to my Grandma from the Pacific during WWII.
