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.

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

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?

After all, Malachi might as well be a world away-even if his concern does seem genuine when he warns her about the intriguing Frenchman. RESCUE ON THE WAY... Malachi has sworn not to interfere in Rachel's relationship, but he's in love with the head-strong woman who is determined to continue her budding romance...Yet, Malachi senses something isn't right about the playboy who has suddenly consumed Rachel's time, so he vows to save her from the stranger-and herself-even

Hillary can chase her dreams, but they might cost her Javier’s heart.       Excerpt Javier cast a shadow over her placemat as he delivered her glass of water. He rounded the table, apparently unaware that the whole family was watching him with interest. When he got to the other side of Mom, Hillary willed him to make eye contact and gave a little wave in greeting. “Hi,” she said. Javier retracted the hand that was lowering Coryn’s water. His lips parted like a curtain to reveal his pearly whites. “Well, if it
