No longer a captive by Carol James

 Kindle deal of the day for June 6, 2023




Character interview Daniel Spencer, MD (No Longer a Captive)

 

1 What is the last gift you gave someone?

A ruby necklace to a very special pregnant woman…my wife.

 

2 If a film were made about you, who would you want to play you?

Christian Bale, although I’m more the Carey Grant type, but he isn’t around any more.

 

3 What would you chose as your last meal and why?

Being a Texas boy, I do love me some Tex-Mex. I’d get some cheese and onion enchiladas with rice and beans from Nacho Mama’s. Then I’d take them to the waterfall and have a picnic, because that place holds wonderful memories for me. If it’s my last meal, I may as well go out in peace.

 

4 Cats or dogs:

Dogs. Don’t have either at the moment, but I’m allergic to cats.

 

5 What one thing would you remove from your daily routine and why?

Being on call. I live in a small town and I’m the only doctor. Sometimes I go a day or two without sleep. But, I love my work and helping people.

 

6 Tea or coffee

Sweet iced tea…again, I’m a Texas boy.

 

7 Describe yourself in one word.

Free

 

8 If you could change one thing about your personality what would it be?

I have a shoe fetish. When I was a kid, I often had no shoes, or holey ones at best. I started with over 200 pairs of shoes, and it took a while, but I’m down to 20. May not sound like much, but getting free of my past  is a big deal for me.

 

9 What is your favourite colour ?

Green, which can be rare in certain parts of Texas.

 

10 What car do you drive?

White Ford F250. I make house calls, and my truck can travel over any terrain I’d encounter. 

 

And now the author interview. You are marooned on a desert island with unlimited food and drink. You have a copy of the Bible and the full works of Shakespeare.

You can also take 8 pieces of music, one other book and a luxury item which isnt a person, a way of escaping the island or a way of communication.

 

Music:

Messiah

Beatles, Sgt. Peppers

Simon and Garfunkel, Greatest Hits

Beach Boys, Good Vibrations

Elton John, Yellow Brick Road

Sound Track form Last of the Mohicans

Fleetwood Mac, Rumors

No Longer Slaves Album

 

Book: Anne of Green Gables

 

Luxury Item: My fleecy bathrobe

 

Means of escape: A yacht and full crew

 

Blurb No Longer a Captive:

 

When Ethne O'Connor's brother tells her of father's unexpected death, Sean asks her to do something she promised herself she'd never do. Come back home.

 

A victim of childhood abuse, Ethne left her father and the small Texas town of Crescent Bluff ten years ago on the night of her high school graduation. She's determined to end the cycle of abuse and believes the only way to do that is remain single. If she has no husband, she'll never have children that can be abused.

 

Then she meets Daniel Spenser, a handsome doctor with chocolate-kiss eyes. Daniel understands her past in a way no one else does. He's lived it.

 

Will Daniel be able to help Ethne break the chains of captivity around her heart?

 

And will God release her from her past, to be free to trust the man she comes to love?

Phooey Kerflooey: Three Kids And A Puppy vs The Squirrel Of The Apocalypse by Kristen Joy Wilkes

Kristen says "Once upon a time, our family of three young boys welcomed a princess into our home. A furry princess, a princess who ended up weighing more than they did, was terrified of haybales and bags of chicken feed, and refused to drink out of anything but her own special mug. Our boys were charmed by their puppy princess and asked that I write a story based on her. It took me seven years, but finally I present to you  Phooey Kerflooey ! While our own boys delighted in Princess Leia Freyja’s scaredy-cat antics and princess ways, the boys in the story take a bit longer to appreciate Phooey’s gifts. However, I pray that you will enjoy their journey together as they battle the squirrel of the apocalypse and search for perfect peace amidst a storm of chaos. " And I loved this one. It's gone straight back into the TBR pile. A puppy will fix everything.  A boring new house?  Boring house + puppy = adventure!    An attacking squirrel?  Evil squirrel + puppy =...

The Time for Healing by Ramona K Cecil

Winner - Best in Fiction Indiana Faith and Writing Contest 2014 Ginny Red Fawn McLain is determined to hold fast to her adoptive Shawnee culture despite her sudden reentry into her white birth family. She rejects their Christianity, fearing the tenets of the white man’s religion will prevent her from practicing as a Shawnee medicine woman. But her heart refuses to shun her uncle’s young friend and apprentice minister, Jeremiah Dunbar.   Jeremiah Dunbar has never doubted what he would do with his life—he’d follow in his father’s footsteps as a minister of the Gospel. But a mission trip west to the Native American tribes makes him begin to question his future plans. At the discovery of his fellow missionary’s long lost niece living among the Shawnee, Jeremiah is immediately smitten. But unless Ginny Red Fawn McLain joins Christ’s fold—something she adamantly resists—Jeremiah will have to choose between the woman he loves and the work God has called him to do.    G...

Phooey Kerflooey vs The Battle Squirrel by Kristen Joy Wilks

  Phooey Kerflooey has finally found a home of her own. Too bad a raging squirrel found it first! Rasputin the squirrel spends his time stealing snacks, pooing on the counters, and biting tender noses. Phooey’s perfect home has become a perfect storm of chaos! Phooey will do anything for her boys. Almost step on the shiny floor. Mostly go potty outside. Bite a baby carrot in half. Maybe two carrots, or even three! The boys want Phooey to chase Rasputin and save the day, but it’s hard when so many scary things stand in her way. If only Phooey had her pink dolly to boost her bravery. Can Phooey find her courage and chase that bad squirrel out of their lives forever? Maybe tomorrow. Or the day after that. For sure by next week. Phooey will be very brave . . . someday. Theme verse: Isaiah 32:18--My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest. My review:  Phooey is back in this wonderful story of the puppy v the battle squirrel. Havi...
