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?
