TAYE'S GIFT - Pat Simmons - One Free Book

Welcome back,  Pat. I love your new head shot. What are some of the spiritual themes you like to write about?

I listen for God’s voice for each story’s messages redemption, overcoming, steadfast. My favorite Scripture for my characters is Jude 1:24

God can keep us from falling, and my characters want to be kept.

What other books of yours are coming out soon?

Book One, LEAN ON ME, in the Family is Forever series, which is about caregivers will be released January 7, 2020.

What historical person would you like to meet (besides Jesus) and why?

Because I’m into genealogy, I would like to meet my second great-grandmother Charlotte Jamieson, who is a fictional character in my Jamieson Legacy series. My second great grandmother, Charlotte, was enslaved by Robert Jamieson. A guest in his home, John Wilkinson, fathered 2 children with her, then married the slaveholder’s daughter, Artie. Charlotte lived to be 80 years old and died living in the backyard of one of the largest former slaveholders in Mississippi, the Caradines. I would like to know how she endured slavery.

Interesting. I understand why you would love to meet her. How can you encourage authors who have been receiving only rejections from publishers?

Funny you ask that. I attended the annual Christian Book Lovers Retreat last week. There was one woman at a seminar who had received 7 in one day. After a group of us prayed for her, we all gave her encouraging words. I told her about my experience of getting a rejection letter for GUILTY OF LOVE on the same day it hit the shelves with another publisher. Also, I reminded her that God is the Master Chess player, and He moves people and situations around for our good, and He’s partnering her with the right editors and publishing houses.

Tell us about the featured book.

TAYE’S GIFT is Book 6 in the Small Town Christmas series. I guess you can say the stories are modeled after Hallmark movies. The gist of the plot is it’s a race against time to bless someone in need with $1500, in time for Christmas. My story has a different twist, because initially my character thinks the money is for her from a deceased friend. Soon, God shows her that by blessing others, she will get blessed. However, the task she embarks on requires help from two strangers who fast become friends to save two businesses during the holidays.

I love this cover. Please give us the first page of the book.

This is insane!

Only for her late friend Charity Hart would Taye Thomas endure the mass pandemonium at an airport on the Friday after Thanksgiving, yet here she was flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Denver.

Had everyone flown into town for a quick hi before consuming hearty helpings of turkey and dressing just to make their exit the next day? This was the worse time to travel.

Taye shut out the chaos around her for a quiet moment of reflection. An old friend from high school had passed away. Taye’s eyes misted as the realization hit that Charity was gone. She sniffed as nearby chatter pulled her out of her reverie.

Although she wasn’t keen on eavesdropping, some travelers’ conversations were too entertaining to ignore. Taye craned her neck as she scanned the line for the person with the high-pitched voice.

“Yeah, I’m nervous. I hope it’s not a bumpy ride,” confessed a pretty girl who attempted to appear older, judging from the makeup artistically applied to highlight her youthful face.

“So, you’re traveling alone?” an older man asked too curiously for Taye’s taste. And was that a hint of pleasure in his tone at her admission?

Didn’t the teenager know her naiveté was making her vulnerable for prey? Taye huffed. Where was the girl’s parents or chaperone? Did anyone give this barely-more-than-a-child instructions about not talking to strangers?

“It’s a nonstop flight, and it should be smooth. We’ll be okay,” another woman assured the girl.

NO EASY CATCH - Pat Simmons - One Free Book

Welcome back, Pat. God has really been moving in your writing life. What do you see on the horizon?

Honestly, I don’t know what God’s will is for my writing career, but whatever stories He leads me to write, I want to give my all.

Tell us a little about your family.

I have been married for more than 30 years, and we have a son with an unbelievable testimony and a daughter. Both are “grown and gone.” My husband spearheads my exhausting travel schedule.

Has your writing changed your reading habits? If so, how?

Yes, I don’t read as much as I used to or would like. When I do, I don’t have the luxury of taking my time because I need to stay on deadline for my projects. Also, I try to read non-fiction books that will strengthen my understanding of my characters’ personal dilemmas. For example, I read His Needs, Her Needs when I was writing a story about infidelity. When I considered writing a Black historical romance, I read We Are Your Sisters that highlighted Black women’s struggles and triumphs during and after slavery. The Warmth of Other Sons, which traces the migration of Blacks from the South I read for background research for another series. After eleven published novels and hundreds of reviews, praise God that no readers have complained that my characters lack development.

What are you working on right now?

I just finished In Defense of Love, Book 2 in the Carmen Sisters series. I’ve just started my research for Book 3. I’m also outlining my 3rd Christmas novella. Those stories seem to be a big hit with fans.

What outside interests do you have?

Genealogy, genealogy, genealogy. I also like to sew my clothes, so when I travel I’m not wearing that same black or red dress in each picture. J

How do you choose your settings for each book?

If an area within a city has historical significant, I like to explore that place as a backdrop for my characters and describe the surroundings to my readers. For example, St. Louis has several historical neighborhoods. In my next book, I take readers to South St. Louis to the LaSalle neighborhood and Lafayette Square. I did the same thing in my first novel in North St. Louis County and readers actually took the Old Ferguson tour. I was surprised that I had that type of influence.

If you could spend an evening with one historical person, who would it be and why?

That’s easy, my second great-grandmother, Charlotte Jamison Wilkerson. She was enslaved by Robert Jamison in Chickasaw County, Mississippi, and bore two sons by his houseguest, John Wilkinson, who later married Robert’s only daughter. She lived to be 80 years old. I found her mentioned by an author. She ironically “lived in the backyard” of another former slaveholder, the Caradines. My first question would be “How did you survive?” I’m sure she would impart wisdom.

What is the one thing you wish you had known before you started writing novels?

This “world of make believable” is actually a real business, and once I committed to being an author, I had to learn the business side, which is more important than the writing.

What new lessons is the Lord teaching you right now?

That I may not achieve the status of New York Times bestselling author, but my work for Him is important and to continue doing what I’m doing and He will bless me accordingly.

What are the three best things you can tell other authors to do to be successful?

Write, pay for an editor, and attend selective book conferences where they can sit in on workshops, meet with agent/editors and get encouragement from other well-established authors.

Tell us about the featured book.

I don’t believe in bashing church people or highlighting their bad behavior. There are plenty of books for that. However, in No Easy Catch, I wanted to minister to the sisters in the church who have been hurt in relationships with someone in the church. Shae Carmen thought she had found the love of her life in the church, but her boyfriend was stringing her alone. Not only was he estranged from his wife, but he was also trying to reconcile with her at the same time he and Shae were getting closer. It was because of that deceit that caused Shae to doubt her faith and the integrity of men. Shae felt that God didn’t have any more good men in the church and definitely not outside of it. But there’s something attractive about a man who recognizes that God is the only One who can save us.

Please give us the first page of the book.

St. Louis Cardinal baseball outfielder Rahn Maxwell had made some wrong turns in life—women and money to name a few—but this wrong turn could prove deadly if the pair of blinding headlights racing toward him didn’t slow down.

He had just left a downtown St. Louis nightclub where he had met some friends. A construction sign had instructed him to detour off Interstate 64 while his GPS attempted to recalculate. The darkness around him was thick as fog.

“Turn around when possible,” his GPS kept advising as if it sensed danger.

 

That would be a good idea, but at the moment, he had a more pressing issue. Since there wasn’t time for Rahn to get out of harm’s way with a car speeding behind him, he braced for an impact. Seconds later, the anticipated crash never occurred as an old Camaro shrieked to a halt alongside his pearl gray Mercedes Benz G550 SUV, blocking his exit. Rahn experienced a bad gut feeling.

The passenger side of the car’s window descended. A dark-skinned man, wearing dark glasses that blended into their surroundings, snarled at him. Brandishing some type of machine gun, he ordered Rahn to lower his window. Great! And just think he had declined the dealer’s recommendation for armor-plated protection for his luxury vehicle. Now, Rahn wished he had complied. How come hindsight couldn’t be foresight?

Watching the gunman’s movements, Rahn counted down the seconds until his life would end. He hadn’t reached his thirty-fifth birthday, the age he planned to announce his retirement. Judging from the looks of things, his short-lived career was about to stop at twenty-seven. God, I can’t go down like this. Please help me. Rahn had too many wrongs he needed to right, people to whom he had to say his last good-byes, and babies he had to kiss.

This book is going to the top of my to-be-read pile. How can readers find you on the Internet?

I’m on most social networks: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Goodreads, Google+, and others. My website is www.patsimmons.net

FREE FROM GUILT - Pat Simmons - Two Free Books

I'm thrilled to welcome you back to my blog, Pat. Why do you write the kind of books you do?

I enjoy romance novels without the sex scenes that are Christian-based. With that said, I like to write about real issues that readers can related, but give them inspiration that God hasn't left them.

Besides when you came to know the Lord, what is the happiest day in your life?

It's a toss up between getting married and having children because I am blessed to be able to say "my husband" and "my son and daughter". Some women are still waiting for that status, and I pray God bless their souls.

Yes, being married and a mother are two of the sweetest blessings God gives us. How has being published changed your life?

Writing is time consuming. Even when I'm not in front of a computer, my mind is still creating scenes and characters. My fingers can't keep up with the stories my supporters want to read.

What are you reading right now?

The Warmth of Other Suns by Isbel Wilkerson

What is your current work in progress?

I'm trying to complete the draft of THE ACQUITTAL, which is the next book in my guilty series. It has a spring 2013 release. I'm also working on the outline for my eBook valentine story A WOMAN AFTER DAVID'S HEART.

What would be your dream vacation?

Greece.

How do you choose your settings for each book?

Since I'm from St. Louis, I highlight different neighborhoods. My spring 2013 release takes place in Accra, Ghana. I consult with a Ghanaian who lives in Missouri for authenticity. For Guilty by Association and The Guilt Trip, I used Boston because I attended college there, so I guess you can say it was a tribute to the city. DON'T STOP PRAYING, a 2015 release starts off in Philly. When writing in different cities, I need a contact that can help make the readers feel at home. Because of my media background, I thrive on research, but there has to be a stopping point, so my novels won't read like

textbooks.

We need to get that Spring novel scheduled on my blog. If you could spend an evening with one person who is currently alive, who would it be and why?

My ancestors: my great grandmother Charlotte Jamieson Wilkerson. She was enslaved as a child, but died free. I wonder about her story and the ills she endured to survive.

And my great grandmother's grandma Minerva Palmer Lambert. There's a story there. I just haven't uncovered it.

What are your hobbies, besides writing and reading?

Sewing and going on a good genealogy hunt. Also, I enjoy Bible teaching preaching sermons.

What is your most difficult writing obstacle, and how do you overcome it?

Time is the biggest obstacle, but after eight books, I have yet to master it. Writing is not a 9 to 5 profession. I write in my head. Also while waiting in the doctor's office, sewing, and sometimes when I get in bed, my characters are still talking, so I get up and jot

down the notes.

What advice would you give to a beginning author?

That is an all day seminar. 1. Read other authors' works. Observe their writing style. 2. Pay for a content editor, not an English teacher or someone to proofreader. Literary editors know what to look for. 3.Set a deadline and keep it. My publisher moved up the release of my third book. Free from Guilt was originally supposed to be released February 2013. As you can see, it was released in October 2012. I had to hustle, pray and depend on God for strength to do it. 4. Attend writer's conferences. Invaluable. Relationships are formed there and deals made. 5. Last, give your best work. Have no regrets with the manuscript you turn in if you can and pray that God is pleased with what you've submitted. Of course, this is from a Christian genre point of view.

Tell us about the featured book.

In a nutshell, man's wisdom vs. God's wisdom. Book sense can not equate to spiritual knowledge and that's what my character Gabrielle Dupree proves when she comes up against Dr. Cameron Jamieson.

Please give us the first page of the book.

Cameron Daniel Jamieson wasn’t going down like his brothers and cousins in the romance department. No woman in the world would get him to a prayer altar as a prerequisite for the wedding altar.

Absolutely, he wanted to get married, and he somewhat was on the prowl for a wife. His criterion was she had to be the one his heart refused to let get away. Cameron didn’t believe in mixing religion with politics, at the workplace or in relationships, and definitely not outside of the church walls. That was nonnegotiable.

He did a quick sweep of his relatives gathered in the dressing room in the small St. Louis, Missouri, church. Cameron noted the common thread among the men. Their wives had dug their stilettos into the ground, refusing a diamond ring unless their Jamieson man humbled himself to Christ first. How ridiculous, but that’s exactly what happened to

them.

His cousin Aaron “Ace” and Ace’s wife, Talise Jamieson, were moments away from renewing their wedding vows in an elaborate ceremony. A few months earlier, the couple had married three weeks before their precious daughter was born. It was a happy ending to their tumultuous courtship. Cameron paused in his thinking. He guessed there were always exceptions to the rules. Maybe, if it wasn’t for Jesus intervening, he wouldn’t be standing there about to witness their wedding vow renewals today.

However, Cameron took the credit for introducing Talise and Ace, but they later split on bad terms. When Cameron learned that a future illegitimate Jamieson child was at stake, he didn’t hesitate about intervening in his cousin’s business. Cameron refused to lose any

connections to his ancestral tree.

When Ace got his act together and proposed, Talise had two stipulations to her holdout of saying yes: She did not want to be pregnant in a wedding dress, and her sister who was serving in the Persian Gulf, had to be present.

Today, Talise had her wish. Women and their demands could really put a strain on a brother. Oddly, the “groom” was nervously pacing the floor.

“Chill, dude. You’re already married. It’s not like Talise is going to leave you standing at the altar,” Cameron taunted his cousin who was more like a third brother to him.

“Today is all about my baby. You have no idea how important this is to her,” Ace said as he paused, staring down at Talise’s wedding rings and his band, which he cupped in his palm. The set had been on his wife’s finger a day earlier.

At that very moment, Ace’s s cell phone rang and ended the discussion. When he answered, the photographer snapped a picture. Listening to the one-sided conversation, Cameron sensed something wasn’t going as planned.

“She did what?” Ace roared. “You’ve got to be kidding me? It’ll be okay,” he consoled, exhaling. “I’ll see you in a few. I love you, babe.”

“Something is not okay. What’s going on?” Cameron, along with the other groomsmen, was ready to spring into action.

“It’s Talise’s stepmother,” Ace said, glancing around for his father-in-law who had excused himself for the men’s room. “She’s in the bridal chamber giving Tay grief. Basically, she’s complaining about wearing pink instead of white on her wedding day. Plus, the woman’s harping on why we couldn’t renew our vows in Talise’s hometown

of Richmond and more. My wife hasn’t lived there in years.”

Cameron knew Ace didn’t hold his tongue if anyone upset his wife. This was supposed to be a joyful occasion.

“The final straw was when her stepmother demanded to be escorted down the aisle as part of the wedding party. Thank God, Grandma BB stepped in and put the woman in her place.”

“Yikes.” Cameron stuffed his hands in his pockets. It was a known fact that Talise did not refer to the woman as her stepmother, but as her father’s new wife after the death of her mother.

“Yikes is right. Grandma BB shoved the stepmother out the door and warned her that unless she wanted to go home with a limp, she’d better not try to even put her big toe in the center aisle.”

Cameron barked out a laugh. He would never get use to the antics of Mrs. Beatrice Tilly Beacon better known as Grandma BB.

Ace shook his head. “We’d better keep an eye on her, or Grandma BB will be fighting in church.”

“Stranger things have happened,” Cameron mumbled, recalling the antics of the woman who had claimed to be seventy-something for years. She claimed to be part of the family and didn’t have a drop of Jamieson blood. The childless widow took her role as grandma seriously.

The photographer took a few more shots and walked out as Talise’s father returned. “Wait until you see her. She’s beautiful and happy.”

He grinned and shook hands with Ace. “Keep her that way and there won’t be any problems.”

Parke, Cameron’s oldest brother, suggested they pray. Linking hands, they bowed their heads.

“Father, in the name of Jesus we come before Your throne of grace. We worship You today for this opportunity to witness the love between husband and wife. I ask that You bless my cousin’s marriage, bless his life in this Christian journey. Most of all, bless their precious daughter.”

Parke paused, then added, “Lord Jesus, and please bless every married man and their households represented here today. Help us to never fail You as the strong Christian men You created us to be in the name of Jesus. Amen.”

Amens echoed around the room. One by one, the men patted Ace on the back. His father-in-law had the first honor.

Ace tilted his head. “Ah, it appears there’s one man standing in this room who isn’t hitched. Cameron, you’re the lone ranger.”

“Not for long. Even the Bible says it’s not good for man to be alone. With thirty-two knocking on my door, who am I to argue with God?”

“You argue about God with us all the time,” Parke reminded him. “Why stop now?”

I love it already. How can readers find you on the Internet?

THE GUILT TRIP - Pat Simmons - One Free Book

Welcome, Pat. Tell us how much of yourself you write into your characters.

My strengths and weaknesses can be intertwined in one or more characters’ personalities in any one of my novels. But it’s not limited to me, I might write other people’s personalities and mannerisms into the characters.

What is the quirkiest thing you have ever done?

You want me to limit my craziest to just one? Hmmm. I still can’t think of anything recent.

When did you first discover that you were a writer?

It’s more like I first accepted that I had indeed become a writer after my first novel was published and I received that first encouraging email. That’s when I said to myself, “I really am an author.” Up until that time, I didn’t know if I had what it took to hold a person’s attention with my musings or not.

Those emails from readers are so important to us as authors. Tell us the range of the kinds of books you enjoy reading.

Christian romance, biographies, and anything connected with genealogy, especially African-American related material.

I loved the way you used the genealogy information in this book. How do you keep your sanity in our run, run, run world?

Take naps when I’m exhausted. I’m deadline oriented, so I’m a stickler when it comes to making a schedule whether it’s cleaning, writing, or sewing, I believe in sticking to it. That’s the only way I can be productive.

How do you choose your characters’ names?

Sometimes I have a name, but I have also changed names several times before I finish the story because the name didn’t fit the personality I wanted to portray. For example, in a recent ebook, I had Juanita as the main character’s name. By the time I finished, I had changed it to Jillian. I couldn’t see a woman named Blanche being a spitfire character in my book, but I could see Cheney or Tyra.

What is the accomplishment that you are most proud of?

First off that God chose to use me to share the good news about His salvation plan and purpose through entertaining Christian tales. Second is that others have nominated my work for awards.

If you were an animal, which one would you be, and why?

Considering I never wanted to be an animal, it would be a toss up between a bird and fish because they both are beautiful creatures. But seriously, I prefer being a person.

What is your favorite food?

Candy, hot dogs. and popcorn (a must have when watching a movie).

What is the problem with writing that was your greatest roadblock, and how did you overcome it?

Learning to manage my time, so I’m not burning a candle at midnight to meet a deadline. I’m a slow writer—about two pages an hour. Based on that calculation, I know how long it will take me to finish a 70-85,000 word novel if I write 5 days a week.

Tell us about the featured book.

In The Guilt Trip, Aaron “Ace” Jamieson is living a carefree life. He’s good-looking, respectable when he’s in the mood, but his weakness is women. If a woman tries to ambush him with a pregnancy, he takes off in the other direction. It’s a lesson learned from his absentee father that responsibility is optional.

Talise Rogers has a bright future ahead of her. She’s pretty and has no problem catching a man’s eye, which is exactly what she does with Ace. Their chemistry is undeniable and their passion explosive, but there’s one catch. Trapping Ace Jamieson is the furthest thing from Talise’s mind as she is determined to be a good parent when she learns she is pregnant and Ace rejects her. “I want nothing from you Ace, not even your name,” Talise means it.

But Ace’s big brother and cousins don’t plan to let the child who represents the twelfth generation descendant of a royal African tribe leave the fold. Whether Ace decides to accept his responsibility or not, Ace’s family embraces Talise to his shame. Before long, it’s his own guilt trip that leads him to the prayer altar.

He learns the blessings from his Heavenly Father to overpower the sins of his earthly dad.

The Guilt Trip is Book II in the Jamieson Legacy, but is actually a spinoff of the Guilty series.

Please give us the first page of the book.

Chapter 1

Twenty-eight-year-old Aaron “Ace” Jamieson wasn’t married and never had been married. He wasn’t planning to pick out a tuxedo to meet a woman at the altar any ime soon. To maintain that resolve, Ace displayed the highest level of professionalism when it came to playing the dating game.

He had learned from his buddies that at the three-month mark, women began fantasizing about permanent residency. Therefore, his benchmark was seventy-two days or less. Ace was upfront with the ladies that he wasn’t looking for anything serious.

As he shaved, he snickered, recalling some of the tactics women used to trap him into marriage: lavish gifts, on-demand intimacy, or claiming to carry his love child.

Shaking his head in disgust, Ace rinsed off his razor. He methodically massaged aftershave on his face and throat. Women’s bluffs didn’t make him blink. He would not be lured into any baby momma drama.

But something had happened to his determination three months ago when his cousin’s friend introduced him to Talise Rogers. She swept him off his feet on the first date. There was something alluring about her independence, confidence and her exotic dark features on brown sugar skin.

Humph! Their connection was more than the explosive physical attraction. If there was a soul mate, Talise was it. Friends called her Tallie. To Ace, she was his Tay. He was convinced she had an invisible grip on him that was about to bring him down, and he wasn’t complaining. It took some back-and-forth battling between his mind and his heart, but Ace thought Talise just might be the one he couldn’t let get away.

How can readers find you on the Internet?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY!!!

And thank you, Pat, for agreeing to be on my blog when I contacted you. The premise of your book intrigued me for a lot of reasons, and I read it as soon as it arrived. I loved your story and had a hard time putting it down. It was written from an African-American perspective, but the story could be pulled from almost any culture in these modern times. A very good book. My readers will love it, too.
