ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: A Plan for EverythingAuthor: Beverly Varnado
Publisher: Anaiah Press
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
Release Date: January 21, 2020
Connie’s Coffee and Cones is thriving, and owner Connie Spencer is right on track to realize her dream of expanding into a catering business. She believes she owes her success to her remarkable ability to plan. In fact, she has a plan for everything. At least, she thought she did—until Michael Cole appears in Worthville.
Michael has an agenda of his own—and a competing business—that threatens to derail everything Connie hopes for professionally. And if that isn’t enough, Michael carries a secret that could cause a backlash for both of them. So, why does she find herself attracted to him? When an accident on a rain-slicked highway leaves Michael temporarily incapacitated, Connie is presented with a dilemma she never saw coming—helping the man she’s falling for, or moving ahead with her meticulous plans.
As life spirals out of her control and Connie faces losing everything, she questions whether her plans are enough. But if hers aren’t, whose are? As she searches for the answer, she learns she must come to terms with her deepest hurt in order to embrace a higher plan for her future.

INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR BEVERLY VARNADO
Can you tell us a little about yourself?
I am a novelist, screenwriter and
blogger, with three other novels in print, and multiple scripts including one
that has been under option for a film. My work appears in several anthologies,
and I also have written for an international devotional magazine. I’m
celebrating 10 years writing my weekly blog which now has over 900 posts.
I am Mom to three and Mimi to
two. I home schooled my children for eight years, and all the kids launched but
one is now back in grad school and living part time with me and my husband. We
have a chocolate Aussiedor named Lucy, and three cats.
What do you do besides writing?
I am
also an artist and enjoy painting in oil and watercolor. I’m a member of an
arts foundation and through that have had amazing opportunities to participate
in juried shows including several at a state university gallery. I have a small
Etsy store where I sell notecards of some of my paintings.
I’ve
been a church musician my whole life and sing in a symphony chorus.
What are some songs that you listened to or inspired you while writing your book?
I don’t listen to music while
writing, because I’m so enthralled by music, I wouldn’t be able to concentrate
on the words. I’m amazed at others who can do so.
However, a song that meant a lot
to me as I was challenged to work out some of the plot in A Plan for Everything
was “He’s Been Faithful” by Carol Cymbala and recorded by The Brooklyn
Tabernacle. It’s an old song, but it hovered in my brain, and when I wondered
if I’d ever make it to the finish line, I could listen to that song and
remember all the other times God has come through. It was a real encouragement.
What message would you like readers to
ultimately take away from the book?
If readers struggle
with trying to surrender their future to God, I pray they find hope in Connie’s
journey.
What can we look forward to coming from
you in the future?
I’m
working on a sequel to A Plan for Everything. It’s a Christmas book also set in
Worthville, Georgia entitled A Season for Everything.
Thank you Beverly!
