More from Natasha

I wrote The Wanderer’s Legacy because I believe stories have the power to communicate deep truths and transform lives, and Bible stories are no exception! Lamech, the first man to have two wives, features way back in Genesis 4, after Cain & Abel and before Noah. It’s not even a story, really, it’s a little poem stuck at the end of a chapter. What is it doing there, and what can it teach us about God’s goodness during a really dark time in humanity’s history? That’s what this novel is about. It was an excuse to engage deeply with that story and the result is full of biblical truth that I hope will draw the reader closer to Jesus, understanding how his redemptive purposes are woven through the fabric of the whole Bible, even obscure little poems that almost feel like a sidenote. Rather than telling you more, I’m just going to share the opening with you, to give you a taster… “Adah presses her back to the pillar, squeezing into its evening shadow. Her heavy breathing is almost as loud as the heartbeat pummelling in her head. Surely someone will hear? Her chance to escape diminishes with every moment of delay. She is a desert jerboa – alert, aware of every sight and smell, yet frozen in place as she awaits her predator’s pounce. Azurak should be occupied. Her son arranged it when she pleaded with him on hands and knees, eyes streaming in desperation. But Adah is sure she hears him. His rasping breath and distinct blood-soaked-campfire smell linger, fusing her feet to the ground. Unless it’s someone worse than Azurak. Perhaps her husband will find her.”

Interview with the Author

If you could travel back in time, what time period would you go to?

I’d go to the time of Jesus! I would love to walk with the disciples and maybe be one of those women who ministered to his needs.

What is your favorite book and why?

It’s very different to what I write but, The Lord of the Rings! Escaping to a whole new world with history, traditions, songs and characters that you felt were real. I expected hobbits to crawl out from tiny houses and even started to learn elvish!

What is your favorite hymn and why?

When I survey the wondrous cross. The whole hymn touches me deeply but I can’t sing the words “See from his head, his hands, his head, sorrow and love flow mingled down” without crying. It’s so poetic and beautiful and focuses my heart and mind completely on my wonderful Saviour.

What is one thing readers would be surprised to learn about you?

I write serious stuff, so they may be surprised to learn that I’m pretty zany! I like to dance around the kitchen, usually with a child or animal, singing made up lyrics to silly songs. I love crazy programs like veggietales!

What inspired you to write this book?

The Bible story in Genesis 4. I’ve written 3 books based on Genesis 4 and this is the third, but it’s a standalone story, so you don’t have to have read the others. I really wanted to explore how one man could get to the point of openly admitting to murder. Lamech is a descendant of Cain, the first murderer, but where Cain hid his crime, Lamech admitted it. Why?

Share with me a few of your favorite things.

I live in a farmhouse in Lincolnshire, UK. I love being out in nature, sitting under the big cedar tree in the garden, milking our goats or tending to our vegetable patch. I try to grow most of the family food. Connecting with nature is my happy place (as well as escaping to ancient worlds in my books.)
