Welcome back, Robin. I
know you speak at various conferences and meetings. What do you have coming up?
I’ll be at ICRS, signing copies of my latest Samantha
Sanderson book in the Zondervan booth on July 1st at 11:00am. I’ll also be at
the ACFW conference in September.
If you were planning
a women’s retreat, what would be the theme for it?
Living in His grace. I’m really aware of His grace for us
these days. His extraordinary grace in our everyday lives.
Who would you want as
speakers and why?
I’m a huge follower of Joyce Meyer because her teaching
helps me personally apply Biblical truths into my life.
Where would you hold
the retreat and why?
Oh, on a cruise ship.
To the Caribbean .
I’d sign up for that retreat
in a minute. Do you read print books or ebooks? Or a combination of the two?
I read both. As I get older, my eyesight is making it a
little harder for me to read, so I’m finding I read more often on my Kindle so
I can make the font bigger.
That’s an interesting
title. How did you come up with it?
Torrents of Destruction was taken straight from the Scripture
reference of the book, PSALM 18:4-6. This book was inspired after my husband
and his friend, Wade, went on a rafting trip on the Gauley River
So what is the book
about?
As a white water rafting guide, Katie Gallagher must battle
the forces of nature on a daily basis. When sabotage becomes apparent on a
weekend rafting trip, Katie must determine who she can trust—and who has their
own agenda. Hunter Malone has a mission on a business adventure trip on the Gauley River
Please give us the
first page of the book.
Thunder crashed over the West Virginia sky. Clouds cast eerie
shadows, foreboding and ominous. Katie Gallagher quickened her pace down the
gravel path. The approaching storm interfered with her determined strides.
Shadow, her Blue Heeler and ever-present companion, trotted at her side.
She pushed into the store with Shadow on her heels, headed
to the counter, and dropped onto the stool. She flipped to this evening’s
appointment log and grabbed a pencil from the holder, rolling it between her
thumb and forefinger.
Her elder brother Gabe’s soft smile enhanced his tanned
face. “Your group should arrive after seven tonight. Ready?”
Katie’s gaze moved to the bank of windows across the front
of the store. Lightning flashed in the bright afternoon sky over the Gauley River
Gabe adjusted the display rack of wetsuits a fraction of an
inch, then hobbled back to study his handiwork, dragging his walking cast.
She scuffed the toe of her sandal against the tile, letting
the shoe slip to the floor. “I still don’t see why Christian can’t take this
group. I need to run the projection numbers for next month.”
Seemed like as of late, their younger brother constantly
shirked his duties.
“We’ve been over this.” While Gabe didn’t sigh aloud, the
implication was clear.
“But you and I aren't the only Gallaghers working Gauley
Guides. Dad left the business to all three of us.” She let out an exaggerated
breath and tapped her pencil against the cash register. “I hate baby-sitting
power executives who think they can tame the river.”
“It’s not like I asked to have my leg broken, Katie. I’d do
it if I could.”
And he would. Gabe carried the brunt of the responsibility
for the family business. Good thing he had such broad shoulders. Katie didn’t
envy his load.
Guilt circled her heart, but the tight knot of irritation
wouldn’t let loose of her nerves. She had a stack of bills she needed to figure
out how they were going to pay, and she wanted to check out the new equipment
they’d just received. Besides, she yearned for some solitude after last
weekend’s trip with a group of rowdy college kids. “Christian’s better suited
for these guys.”
I can’t wait until my
copy arrives to see what happens.How can readers find you on the Internet?
