Giveaway! Rescue Team by Candace Calvert!

Welcome to Writing for Christ Candace Calvert, it is great to have you here! Do you have an interesting fact about yourself the average reader probably doesn’t know?

It’s wonderful to be here, Casey. I love the opportunity to mingle with your readers!

To answer your question: Not many folks know I was once in a bank as it was about to be robbed. I was going to speak to the robber because he looked a lot like an old friend from Jr. High school, but he seemed nervous and avoided making eye contact. Fortunate, because a few seconds later he brandished a gun.  I’m still embarrassed that the FBI likely contacted that old friend (who was not the robber) . . . But it was the best excuse I ever had for being late to work!

Do you have a favorite genre to read/write?

I write contemporary (suspenseful) medical romance, and I love reading that—especially now that the genre is growing: Harry Kraus MD, Richard Mabry MD, Jordyn Redwood, Shawn Grady . . . and even a few more. A great new sense of “team.” It’s like being back in scrubs again!

Do you have a nugget of writing advice that has completely changed how you view writing?

I’m still collecting nuggets. But one of the best pieces of advice I ever pocketed (RWA conference, Jenny Crusie workshop) was about writing a convincing villain. She said, “In a villain’s mind, he is a hero.” It blew me away and yet made perfect sense. I love crawling into a “dark” character’s mind to write from his/her point of view—especially revealing that he isn’t all bad-- and I think it enriches the story for the reader.

5 things you love?

(Besides God, family, friends):

·         My “kitchen time”—I am admittedly a passionate foodie.

·         Traveling with hubby (aka “Mr. Bond”): This fall we’re going to cruise the Rhine River from Switzerland to Amsterdam. So romantic.

·         The great privilege of being an author and all the wonderful connections it brings—still pinching myself over this blessing.

·         Bird watching: I am totally a bird nerd, complete with binocular dents around my eyes.

·         Mashed potatoes. There, I said it.

What novel have you recently read that has stood out to you that both teens and adults will find enjoyment in?

So hard to choose!  I’ll say Trinity by Ronie Kendig: non-stop action, courageous and memorable characters (including a wonderful dog, of course!), and a great message. I was honored to endorse it.
