Angel To The Rescue-Personal Narrative

Please give us a short introduction to Angel to the Rescue.
First, I would like to thank ManyBooks for allowing me to spend time with your subscribers today. I'm Petie [Pee-dee] McCarty and I write action-adventure/contemporary romance.

Angel to the Rescue is the second book in my Mystery Angel Romance series. Each stand-alone love story in the series has an angel hidden in the plot. The angel's identity is not revealed until the finale unless the reader figures it out first.

In Angel to the Rescue, Child psychologist Rachel Kelly isn't sure how to handle the situation with her newest client -- a six-year-old boy who says he can talk to angels and one is coming to help Rachel. She already has her hands full of trouble this Christmas season,

Working in the land of fairy tales made me believe I could create my own, especially my newest series: The Cinderella Romances... fall in love with the fairy tale all over again.

The inspiration for the Mystery Angel Romance series came from Hebrews 13:2: "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares..." This was the New Testament reading one Sunday as I sat in church, and I thought, Hmm... there's angels here walking around?

Rachel and Jake already have a history together. What appealed to you about getting exes back together in a book, instead of random strangers meeting up and falling in love?

With Rachel and Jake, they never really crossed the line to "ex-" status for neither one ever really fell out of love with the other. They just needed a helper—or an angel, *wink*—to help them find their way back to each other. That is my second-favorite type of love story, right up there after "love at first sight."

I had to create five distinct personalities, give them each a specialty for the hostage-crisis team, and keep track of each of them throughout the crisis. Each had to be placed and maintained at the exact spot and exact time for the rescue operation to work. Easily, the toughest book I have even written.

What do you hope your readers will take away from Angel to the Rescue? Is there an underlying message?

No matter how dire your situation or circumstances may be, there is always a "helper" close by waiting to assist you. Sometimes you know them, sometimes you don't. One just has to learn to keep their eyes and their heart open to recognize the helpers.

Besides being a romantic suspense, Angel to the Rescue also touches on difficult real-life issues such as child abuse, spousal abuse, and pedophilia. Was that a deliberate

    Have you ever encountered an absolutely gorgeous, charismatic hunk-of-man who, upon meeting him for the first time, had you convinced every move you'd made in your life, up to that point, led you directly to him?

    The Little Prisoner by Jane Elliott This book was a powerful if not over powering story of a child whose step father abused her on every level of abuse; physical, mental, sexual, and emotional. The author of this book Jane, a pseudonym for the actual child, made the book come full circle. It started in the court room and was brought back to that pivotal moment when she is forced to face her attacker as an adult. It shows the reader the reaction of someone who clearly has no understanding the effects the child abuse Jane endured because the officer treated her like she was overreacting.…
