About THE WIDOW'S CAPTIVE:
On the
run with two small children and a third due within weeks, Adeline Spencer fears
the approaching blizzard will seal their fate. An abandoned cabin is an answer
to her prayers. She hopes it will shield them from both the storm and the
enraged brother-in-law hot on her tail. But when a stranger knocks at the door,
she is convinced they have been found by one of Ward’s lackeys.
Blamed for the death of his friend, Sheriff Jonah Hale is determined to prove himself worthy of his badge, even if it means riding into a blizzard to check on a crazy miner. When Jonah reaches the cabin, he’s caught off guard by a pretty and very pregnant young woman wielding a skillet. Bound to a chair while the storm rages, and as Christmas settles in around them, he must find a way to earn Adeline’s trust…and perhaps her heart.

favorite quotes about writing is by C.S. Lewis: You can make anything
by writing.
Her favorite verse is Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Mini-interview:
First
page to last, this story is a wonderful, exhilarating, fast and furious ride…I
loved it! Sheriff Jonah—brave, kind and considerate, handsome and sometimes
downright huggable—is the picture-perfect hero. Adeline and her adorable
kiddies grab the heartstrings right from the get-go, despite their
less-than-welcoming first-time encounter with the hunky lawman. Throw in a
snowed-in cabin, a baby in a hurry to be born, and a bad guy with a gun and a
mean streak, and…well, what’s not to love? THE WIDOW’S CAPTIVE…captivates.
Absolutely recommended for readers who love a good cowboy tale, a nice Christian
romance, a chunk of charm and a peck of pizzazz.
Mini-interview:
Which character in THE WIDOW'S CAPTIVE did you most enjoy
writing? Why?
Ethan! I love the little dude
desperately trying to be a man, while he’s still just a little boy.
What smell do you love most, and why?
Petrichor. (I didn’t know there was
a word to describe the smell until I recently saw a post on Facebook.) It’s that scent you get when rain
falls on dry soil. I love it; it signifies a fresh and new start.
Please share a verse of scripture that is especially
meaningful to you, and why it is special.
Philippians 4:13 (NKJV))—I can do all things through Christ who strengthens
me.
I lost my mother as a teen. All of the sudden up
felt down and right felt left. This verse helped me cope with grieving and many
other challenges I’ve faced since then.
