Episode 474: A Chat with Ann Swindell

 Ann Swindell's world of Leathersby stole a piece of my heart and now... it's back to grab some more with another book in the series. EEEP!  Listen in for what's happening in Love in the Castle Library and our discussion on how writing helps authors in their faith. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. I think my favorite part of our conversation is how we talked about how we meet Jesus in our writing of characters and understand Him better. Additionally, about gifts and how God uses them in our lives--and how it's "BOTH" in things not just for the blessing of others but also it blesses us in the process.  Love in the Castle Library by Ann Swindell  Predictability and efficiency have marked Delphine DuVert's orderly life as Castle Stewardess in the small European country of Lethersby—until she is tasked by the monarchy to hire a British researcher. Lethersby needs help solving the 100-year-old mystery of their Lost Queen, a young royal who disappeared into the night during World War I. Delphine's split-second decision to hire Jack Worthington, a doctoral student at the University of Oxford, has long-lasting consequences when he steps in to protect her from an angry colleague determined to ruin her life. The only catch? That protection looks like Jack posing as her beau. Jack Worthington believes that his instinct to protect Delphine was the right one, but he's determined to stay focused on his research for Lethersby—and keep his emotional distance after reeling from a broken heart. Yet as the clues to discovering the Lost Queen's story unravel and the Delphine's future hangs in the balance, both Jack and Delphine must step out in faith, choosing to trust that what God has ahead for them is worth any risk.  Learn more about Ann on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub.
