1. Please introduce yourself so that the readers will get to know you better.
Well I am Hannah Corbin. The author of flying by the seat of my pants. I’m a stay at home mom that is dealing with quite a few disabling conditions. I’m a lover of Christ and a lover of people. My two kiddos mean the world to me and I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I have been married for nigh on 9 years and through that time I have gone through more stuff than your typical woman of 28 years. So I decided to put it into a book. The book is my life story and it’s how God has used all of my experiences to show himself sovereign.
2. What inspired you to start writing?
Well people for years every time I started sharing my testimony, said I should write a book. So I did. But I have been writing since I was 12 years old. I always had high aspirations to write and be published but I had never been able to finish anything. But last December the Lord put it on my heart to write and get my story out there and boom in 2 and ½ months my story was written and 8 months from starting I had a published book! Fulfilling my dreams that I have had since I was 12 years old.
3. What do you hope your readers take away from your book “Flying by the seat of my Pants”?
I am hoping that by reading my book that people enjoy the raw and honest real life emotions that are in the book. Every incident and every story that I have shared always leads back to the way the Lord has seen me through. It’s sharing that it is okay to not be okay. That if you need help don’t be afraid to ask. It’s being raw and real with things that people find taboo all the time. My biggest hope is that people realize they are not alone and there are people just like them just as messed up as they are.
4. What do you like to do when you’re not writing?
I love playing music and hanging out with my kids. I used to love mermaiding but since my seizures started last October I haven’t been able to do many strenuous activities like I used to. But music is my outlet as well as watching movies with my kids.
5. What was the worst incident in your life till now? What you learnt from it?
That is a very debatable question. I mean quite a few of the incidents that I have been through have been very bad. Relatively quite a few of them were the same in intensity. But that all boils down to perspective. I mean the worst incident was probably the shooting but there in too my heart broke worse when I lost my babies to miscarriage. So I mean if you read the book you will have quite a few choices to pick. All in all God was with me through all of them so they may have been bad but they were over before too long, and the Lord helped me heal/ is still helping me heal from all of them.
6. What is your favorite Quote?
Gen 50: 20a But as for you, you thought evil against me but God meant it unto good…
7. What are you working on next? Are you planning to release another book soon?
Currently I have 3 children’s books finished of the 8 I have planned. Just needing an illustrator, and I am working on a trilogy called the Ember saga. It’s an action adventure crime drama.
8. What is the most surprising thing you discovered while writing your book?
That it’s hard to have memories of rough times brought back up. But it’s very cathartic.
9. How do you come up with the title to your book “Flying by the seat of my Pants”?
Because I feel like that was truly the story of my life. That every time I turned around I was flying by the seat of my pants because God always had a better plan than I did.
10. Lastly, do you want to give any advice to readers and aspiring writers?
Be kind to yourself. If you need help, ask for it. You are definitely not alone. There are plenty of people that are feeling the same as you are just no one wants to talk about it.
And to aspiring authors. Don’t give up. The timing may not be quite right at the moment, but make sure that you continue to follow your dreams. Because that moment when you hold your very first book in your hand is a feeling like none other. Keep on keeping on. AND I love you all!
Book Is Available On Amazon.
