Launch Day for a New Release!

http://ow.ly/r8et50GZJB7

 It's launch day for my new Christmas novella, Mistletoe Misses! The virus ruined all their plans, but Evan's not giving up. However, proposing at the wrong time could have it's consequences. This short Christmas read is packed with sweet romance, pandemic problems, and a meaningful message to turn on the holiday warmth with the true meaning of the season. 

The novella is on sale for launch day, just .99 until Dec. 1. I hope you check it out! 

News on the home front is that in October I had a total knee replacement (left) and I'm not fully recovered yet. Abba Father taught me so much during this experience and I will be sharing it with you in the upcoming weeks. I'm not fully pain-free yet, but I'm mobile. Praise the Lord! God Bless!

Meet Carol James!

Hello, everyone! I'm excited to host Carol James on the blog today. She comes sharing about her new release, No Longer a Captive.


Living as a Captive


So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 

John  8:36


I imagine most of us have never lived in physical captivity. Those of us who have grown up in the US take for granted freedoms that many people throughout the world can only dream of. 


Yet many of us live and have lived as captives. We’re captive to a particular political ideology. Captive to images of the perfect face, body, hairstyle. Captive to other people’s opinions of us.

Captive to “keeping up with the Joneses.” I’m sure you can list many more areas to which we allow ourselves to become captives. My mother used to say, “If you ignore a bad thing long enough, it’ll go away.” That may be true sometimes, but not always. Avoidance can’t free you from captivity. 


In No Longer a Captive, Ethne O’Connor has lived most of her life in captivity. She has allowed herself  to be placed in bondage by her unwillingness to forgive her father. She ran away, thinking physical separation would bring freedom. But as we all know, running away offers only distance. 


And then she meets Daniel Spencer, a young doctor who’s learned freedom from captivity is found in only one place. Through the only One who breaks every chain. 


Blurb:


When Ethne O'Connor's brother, Sean, tells her of her father's unexpected death, he 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 earlier 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?
