Meet a character - Cassie Hinton

Today we meet Cassie Hinton, heroine of Cassie's Wedding Dress, which is published tomorrow!

Tell us your name and a little bit about yourself?

Hi. My name is Cassie Hinton. That’s short for Cassandra, but I only ever get called that when my mother is annoyed with me. Then it’s my full name. I used to be a jockey, but stopped riding after an accident at the Grand National. I came off my horse and got trampled.

Tell us about where you live and why you choose to live there?

After the accident, I came back to Headley Cross to live with my parents. I couldn’t look after myself at first and to be honest its nice having them around. Even if it does mean obeying the house rules and putting up with my older brother Danny.

What is a quirk of your personality that most people wouldn't know?

I collect stupid postcards. Ones that are completely black and labelled Southampton at night. Or black with eyes on, labelled The new forest at night. A red one which is Cheddar at sunset. A yellow one which is Bournemouth Beach and so on.

What obstacles did you have to overcome in order to reach your Happily-ever-after?

There was a very difficult church situation. I received hate mail through the internal church mail, which then escalated into a full blown police investigation. Jack broke things off around the same time and for a while I wondered if I was actually church material at all.

Tell us about your knight in shining armour. What makes him so special?

He’s just wonderful. He dotes on his daughter, would do anything for his congregation. He’s not just a minister, he’s a true Pastor in every sense of the word. If he doesn’t know the answer to why something’s happening, he won’t pussy foot around it and make something up. He’ll tell you outright that he doesn’t know. So I guess his honesty and compassion make his special. Oh and he loves me, despite the fact I only have the one leg.

The first time you saw him, what did you think? Did you like him immediately, or did he have to grow on you?

We were kids. He was my brother’s friend and I had this massive, no make that MASSIVE crush on him. But he never asked me out. Either we were riding or Danny was there and then we went our separate ways and he married. But they say all good things come to them that wait…and I sure waited a long time for him.

And now some silly questions.

Pepsi or coke

coke

tea or coffee

coffee

elephant or tiger

tiger. Love them

roast dinner or burger and chips (fries for our US readers)

Roast—preferably chicken and made by Mum. With roast spuds, roast parsnips, swede, cauliflower, carrots and sprouts. No peas. Peas are nasty.

classical music or pop

Classical. Especially Beethoven

sunrise or sunset

Sunset

walk or run

ride - yeah I chose the third option. ;-)

chocolate or crisps (chips for our US readers)

chocolate. And that really is a silly question.

A Stalker To Die For by Katy Eeten

A Stalker to Die For by Katy Eeten I began writing this book at least ten years ago. But as often happens, I hit a writing roadblock and put the manuscript to the side. At the time, I wasn’t sure how to make the plot more intriguing or how to give the story a satisfying conclusion. Instead, I focused my efforts on writing five different contemporary Christian novels and novellas over the past several years. But something kept drawing me back to this storyline, so I knew I had to finish it. A Stalker to Die For was my first attempt at adding suspense into the mix—and it was easier said than done! But I finally completed it. And thanks to a great editor, this book guides readers through a variety of emotions while walking the line between romance, faith, and a suspenseful thrill or two.

Rhonda Parrish Interview

Today’s and tomorrow's guest is Rhonda Parrish, author of Sister Margaret. Today I'm putting her under the spotlight and interrogating her, uh asking her questions. Tomorrow I turn the blog over to her completely. Review of Sister Margaret. Sister Margaret is a short story about a vampire hunter and a half-incubus swordsman who are hired by a priestess to take care of an undead pimp. It’s written from the POV of Michael, who has never forgiven himself for abandoning his friend when they were younger. Determined to use this mission to put things right and make it up to her, Michael sets off, only to find things aren’t what they appeared to be. The book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was fast paced from the start and its twists and turns make for gripping reading. The descriptions meant I had vivid images in my mind throughout the book. At just over 4000 words, Rhonda wastes none of them, throwing you straight into the story and leaving you breathless at the en...
