What do you hope readers will take away from your book?
I pray that readers of Waylaid will be encouraged by the truth that even when life doesn’t go as we planned, even when the worst we can imagine happens, God is still in control and the life He chooses for us is always worth living.
Do you have any rituals or routines that help you stay creative?
I’ve found that three things are absolutely essential for me to stay creative over the long haul. I need God to fuel my creativity and supply me with ideas, I need sleep, and I need a steady diet of story. I get my story diet through watching movies—good or bad, they always get my creative juices flowing.
Being a nanny shouldn’t be dangerous. Tell that to the people who want her dead.
As the nanny of twin two-year-olds who lost their mother, Valena Greer wants to create a happy and safe home for the children. The kids must know they’re loved and protected—the opposite of her own unstable childhood. But when danger comes to her door, the illusion of safety is shattered.
A security agent shouldn’t have to convince the lady he’s saving her life.
But that’s exactly what Cooper White must do when he tries to rescue Valena and the twins from would-be killers. If he could get Valena to trust him, then he could focus entirely on evading the opposing organizations that want to take the children and eliminate their protectors.
As the deadly pursuers close in, can Valena and Cooper trust each other and God for the rescue they need?
Someone wants to kill her. She wants the killer to finish the job.
Spring Weston will do anything to rise in the ranks of pro cycling and prove she isn’t the one failure of the five Weston siblings. Anything except cheat. When she learns of doping on her cycling team, she’s determined to uncover the truth. But she can’t if she’s dead.
Sergeant Torin Cotter may not be the hero the public thinks he is, but he recognizes fear when he sees it. When he takes over the investigation of the collision that landed Spring in the hospital, he’s compelled to protect her from whatever danger she’s in, even though he knows he might fail. Again.
Spring’s faith in God isn’t enough to help her face the living nightmare she awakened to after the accident. But neither she nor the handsome sergeant see the greater threat that’s coming until it’s too late.
If they’re going to survive, Spring and Torin will not only have to confront their worst fears—they’ll have to find a reason to live.
