Hi M.Rose Peluso, thank you for agreeing to this interview.
Oltobooks : Tell us a little about yourself and your background?
M.Rose Peluso : Hi, my name is Maryanne Peluso but I used the Pen Name: M. Rose Peluso in the writing of my memoir in order to protect the identities of the individuals mentioned in my book. I am a former Catholic Religious Sister, Graphic Artist, and Educator. I had a 10 year-long career in the Graphic Design industry before leaving it behind to enter Religious Life (the Catholic Convent). I suffer from a rare and life-altering chronic painful condition known as pudendal neuropathy. I am now working part-time as a Senior Caregiver.
Oltobooks : What are your ambitions for your writing career?
M.Rose Peluso : I am really not launching a writing career. I really only had one story to tell - my story and the Lord's and this has been written and told in my memoir, "Behind the Tapestry: My Discovery of God's Grace Amidst Chronic Pain and Loss."
Oltobooks : When did you decide to become a writer?
M.Rose Peluso : Again, I don't really consider myself a writer. I just had this one powerful story that I needed, felt compelled to share with the world. My journey to bringing "Behind the Tapestry" to the public began in the fall of 2015.
