Rust* DVD review and GIVEAWAY

A Journey Home.
A Faith Restored.
As a midlife crisis of faith rocks his life's calling, former minister Jimmy Moore returns to his small hometown to find it reeling from a recent tragedy. Can he get to the bottom of this mysterious fire and clear his boyhood friend Travis?

A unique story of friendship and calling, RUST may well be Corbin Bernsen's most personal project to date. Funded by and set in the real-life Canadian town of Kipling, Saskatchewan (and featuring local citizens in prominent roles), RUST was inspired by the spiritual journey that Corbin has been traveling since his father's death in 2008.

CORBIN BERNSEN (James Moore)
Corbin Bernsen wrote, directed, and stars in RUST, perhaps his most personal film to date. He currently stars as Henry Spencer on the USA Network's hit original series "Psych." Corbin was catapulted to stardom by the 1980s' hit NBC TV show "L.A. Law," playing Arnold Becker. During the show's run, he appeared on more than 50 magazine covers, earned both Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, and hosted "Saturday Night Live." He has also appeared on "Seinfeld" and "The Larry Sanders Show." Among his feature films, he's starred in Hello Again, Disorganized Crime, Shattered, and as the Cleveland Indians' third baseman-turned-owner Roger Dorn in the popular Major League series of films. Among his many other film credits: the 2001 Christian-themed Judgment, Tales From the Hood, and The Great White Hype. Corbin also appeared with Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Corbin lives in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Amanda Pays, and their four sons.


LLOYD ALLEN WARNER (Travis)
Lloyd Allen Warner was born in Kipling, Saskatchewan, Canada. As a child, Lloyd spent his time at the family farm where he learned various skills. Lloyd continues to hone these skills, repairing old computers, stereos, and bicycles. Lloyd landed a principal role in RUST playing Travis, one of the key characters in Corbin Bernsen's screenplay. When asked how he became an actor, Lloyd says, "I was sitting in the hotel having a coffee. Someone said I should go and audition. They were joking. I thought to myself, why not?" And the rest is cinematic history. Lloyd is currently an employee of SeedHawk Inc. and is patiently awaiting his next film role. Learn more about Lloyd's incredible journey in this behind-the-scenes video


FRANK GALL (Glen Moore)
Frank Gall has had a lifetime of careers, friendships, and opportunities to celebrate including his most recent role in RUST as the father of Corbin Bernsen's character. He is better known for his honest and rewarding 45-year farming career, his partnership with P.M.U. farmers (renting his mares), operating a grain elevator in Windthorst, and his eight years of service on the School Board. "I don't believe that I did anything great in life, but sometimes the small stuff can be great, I suppose. If you concentrate on doing for someone else, good things will come back to you." Frank and his wife of 50 years have eight children and 24 grandchildren. As for his "Hollywood" debut, he thought his audition was iffy, but Corbin saw the perfect person for the role of Glen.


Rev. JOHN G. HUTCHINSON (Pastor Barrow)
You could say Rev. John G. Hutchinson was born to play the role of Pastor Barrow in RUST. Naturally, it was an easy fit. John was born, raised, and educated in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and has been in Christian ministry for 56 continuous years. At various times, he has been a pastor, youth worker, missionary, evangelist, Bible College teacher, conference speaker, and inter-denominational leader. From 1955 to 1966, Rev. John and his family spent two 5-year terms serving in India with Youth For Christ International.

My Review
Rust is a wonderful movie of a man {who is a preacher} that thinks God isn’t listening to him and he feels alone and goes home to try and figure out his life. His home is in Kipling, Canada-a real town. A tragedy has happened there, a family has been killed in a house fire and a man with learning difficulties said he started the fire, but James his boyhood friend doesn’t think he did it.
Now James has a mission to find out the truth and hopefully help his friend and in the process finds his faith.
This is a really neat movie. I always watch the special features, because it gives me so much more information about the movie. I love to get to know that actors better and see what all was involved in the making of the movie. The special features on Rust were extra special. I found out all of the actors/actresses were just town people none of them are actors except Corbin Bernsen of course. All of the actors did a superb job, with the exception of one, Audrey Tennent who played Corbin‘s sister, Mary. I’m not cutting her down, she’s just not an actress and I thought her lines were to stiff. Even through I still love this movie and you will also. I was amazed at the acting ability of Lloyd Warner who plays the part of Travis. Like the movie Lloyd has learning difficulties. Frank Gall played as Corbin’s dad and did an excellent job. I also was touched and amazed at the job John Hutchinson did as the Pastor in the movie. He also is a real minister. Great actor.
You will be surprised at all of the different twists this movie has. I was astonished at the ending. I never would have guessed it. Such a wonderful, touching inspirational movie that I highly recommend.

Candace Calvert interview and BOOK GIVEAWAY

Candace thanks for taking the time to visit us today! I appreciate you answering these few questions. It will be fun to get to know you better. Tell us a little about yourself.
It’s my pleasure to be your guest, Wanda, and to have a chance to connect with your readers. I’d love to have them “scrub in” with my Mercy Hospital team!

How long did you write before you were published?
Like most writers, I began early: all those girlish diaries and adolescent journals—which in my case contained actual history, from the JFK assassination to man’s first walk on the moon! My first published work was an inspirational essay in Chicken Soup for the Nurse’s Soul. After completing my first novel, I queried 100 agents . . . and received 99 rejections. (The fabulous) Natasha Kern signed me in late 2002 and sold my first humorous mystery in 2005. In 2008, I followed my heart to write for the Christian fiction market . . . and found a “home” with Tyndale House.

Tell us about “Code Triage,” the featured book.
My agent and I wrote this back cover copy together:
Dr. Leigh Stathos likes her ER shifts fast, furious and adrenaline-infused, “Treat ‘em and street ‘em” with no emotional complications. Life’s taught her a soul-rending lesson: nothing lasts forever, including marriage. The clock is ticking toward the end of hers. Then an unwelcome confrontation with “the other woman” begins a whole new set of lessons.

San Francisco police officer Nick Stathos never gives up, whether protecting his patrol neighborhood, holding fast to faith—or trying to save his marriage. Seven days is all he has to reach Leigh’s heart. But when a desperate act of violence slams Golden Gate Mercy Hospital into lockdown, it starts a chain of events that will change lives forever.


Is there any person who has been a strong influence in your writing journey?
I’d have to say it was my father, a charismatic storyteller who could keep me enthralled by tales that included everything from “magic glow worms” to talking leaves. His stubborn tenacity was a genetic gift that helped me through those 99 rejections!

What message do you want to be clear to your readers?
My tagline is “RX: Hope.” And that’s what my stories offer. I think it’s just what the doctor ordered in these challenging times.

What are some of your likes and dislikes? Your hobbies, interests? Where do you like to vacation?
I dislike so few things . . . except for selfishness, TV game shows, and Escargot—can’t get past the garden pest aspect of that fancy dish! People who follow me on Twitter and Facebook know that I love to cook and bird watch, and that I’m my husband’s biggest Karaoke fan. We are enthusiastic travelers and particularly like to cruise. I’ve been blessed to enjoy adventures that found me hiking Alaskan rainforests, swimming with stingrays, singing with a Newfoundland band, paddling the canals of Venice . . . and climbing aboard a camel at the Pyramids.

Tell us a little-known fact about yourself that readers may not know.
On an impulse, I went skydiving—dropping 13,000 feet from an airplane. And still ask myself, “What were you thinking?”

How do you spend your writing days? Do you set goals to reach a certain number of words per day? Can you give us a general idea of how long it takes you to write a novel?
I’m fairly compulsive and approach my writing goals with a concrete plan: chapters per week (and thus words per day) to complete a book at least a month before deadline. I wrote the books in the Mercy series 6 months apart, but think 9 months allows for a more life-friendly experience. After all, experiencing life is the best way to generate story ideas.

What are you currently reading?
I’m reading Leanna Ellis’ (quirky, delightful) women’s fiction novel, Facelift.

Do you grow flowers or vegetables? What are your favorite flowers?
I grow both, and agree with my agent Natasha Kern that “Angels live in the garden.” For fragrance, sweet peas are my favorite. For flamboyant color, I love Zinnias. We’ve recently moved to a home that has a rose garden, and it stirs wonderful memories of my mother.

What are you writing now?
The first book in my proposed Grace Hospital series, (working title) Trauma Plan.

How can readers find you on the Internet?
I welcome readers to visit me at my website www.candacecalvert.com , on Facebook at Candace Calvert Books, and on Twitter @CandaceCalvert.

And thanks for spending this time with us, Candace.
We wish you much success.
My delight, Wanda. Thank you for hosting me! I look forward to signing a copy of Code Triage for your drawing winner.

Don't Look Back by Lynette Eason*a review

Don't Look Back (Women of Justice Series #2)

Twelve years ago, forensic anthropologist Jamie Cash survived a brutal kidnapping. After years of therapy, she has made a life for herself--though one that is haunted by memories of her terrifying past. She finally lets herself believe that she can have a close relationship with a man, when signs start appearing that point to one frightening fact--her attacker is back and ready to finish the job he started all those years ago.
Can she escape his grasp a second time? And will she ever be able to let down her guard enough to find true love?
Filled with heart-stopping suspense, gritty realism, and a touch of romance, Don't Look Back pulls you into its twists and turns to hold you there until the very last page.

My Review
This is book two of the Women of Justice series. In Lynette Eason’s first book in this series we learn a little about Jamie, but with Don’t Look Back we find out Jamie’s whole story. Jamie is a forensic anthropologist and at the beginning of the book she has to examine two sets of bones from unmarked graves. She find signs that these women were killed by the same man who tortured her 12 years ago. Jamie is the only surviving victim of "the Hero", a serial killer who tortures his victims to rescue them from the pain.
We watch Jamie as she controls her feelings with prayer and giving everything over to God. She goes from a frightened, solitary person to one who lets the Lord lead and He opens her eyes and heart to finally peace and happiness.
Dakota, the detective working the case, and a friend of Jamie and her family, he really likes Jamie and is resolute that nothing will happen to her. See how Dakota and Connor (Jamie’s brother-in-law) find clues and finally get close to find the killer. You will be amazed at the tiniest bit of evidence that can turn a case around.
Don’t Look Back will keep you on the edge of your seat and the surprise at the end spellbinding! You will find many things in this wonderful book, chilling scenes, heart stopping plot and a sweet romance , also happiness, joy, life, but also death. So something for everyone. I highly recommend this book Don’t Look Back and all books by Lynette Eason.

Linda Lee Chaikin-author interview and BOOK GIVEAWAY

I asked Linda for an interview and she sent me all of this interesting information. I can't believe what a wonderful, sweet lady she is. So read and enjoy!

Linda Lee Chaikin was born the youngest of ten children. Her father died when she was five months old, leaving her mother with eight young children and very little income.

Linda suffered with asthma throughout childhood which caused her to miss weeks of schooling each semester, spending much of her grade school years alone. Though her family lacked material things, her mother provided her with plenty of love and books to read. No matter how skimpy the budget, she always managed to scrape together enough change to buy her the Little Golden Books she loved so much. She would usually buy them at the drugstore on the way home from seeing the doctor. "I'd lie in bed and read and reread those little books, and my imagination would come alive. I especially recall the thrill of receiving a large book of Grimm's Fairy Tales one Christmas. These books became the friends that I didn't have the opportunity to make at school. Though I was behind in subjects like math that required sequential learning, I excelled in reading, writing, and spelling. One of my proudest moments was when the teacher moved me up to the highest reading circle in my class."

Out of these experiences Linda has seen Romans 8:28 fulfilled in her life as God has worked all things together to good. God has used some of her limitations to prepare her to be a storyteller.
During her teenage years, she began rewriting the endings to novels because she was dissatisfied with them. She also noticed that when she received essays and short story assignments her teachers would often read her work aloud to the class. This reinforced Linda's desire to write. At age fourteen she wrote her first full-length novel using a pen and a pad of paper. "I was actually like Jo in little women who always had ink stains on her fingers," she says. Later, one of her seven brothers bought her a typewriter. In those days Linda says she could write anywhere, even in a full room of people with the television blaring.

"I sent off my novel to a New York publishing house, convinced it would be another Gone With the Wind. What a heartbreak to receive the manuscript back with a rejection slip. (That novel, rewritten years later, was released under the title, Wednesday's Child in the Day to Remember series.)
Still, Linda's driving ambition was to become a published author, so she began writing a romance novel that contained things that could corrupt the minds of readers. One day at noon as she was in the middle of writing her secular romance, her mother turned on the radio, and the late Dr. J. Vernon. McGee's voice came across clearly. "What's keeping you, my friend, from yielding your entire life to the Lord. What are you holding onto that is keeping you from God? Is there anything in your life that means more to you than knowing Jesus Christ?

"I knew that the Lord was using Dr. McGee's verse by verse study of the book of Leviticus to speak directly to me. I knew exactly what my idol was--the ambition that I would not surrender because I felt that if I could not write, I could not be happy. After the radio program I paced the room for an hour with the half-finished manuscript in my arms. One would have thought it was a bar of gold, but in reality, it was wood, hay, and stubble.

At that time, Christian publishers were not publishing fiction, and most secular publishers did not accept stories with "overt" Christian themes. It seemed that you either wrote to feed the old nature, or you didn't write at all. I knew I was being asked to make a clean break, whatever the cost, even if it meant I'd never write and sell my work. I finally walked over to the trash can and dumped the whole manuscript into it. I knew that if I kept it in the closet I'd be tempted to go back to it once something went wrong in my life that brought discouragement.

I did not write again for many years. I studied the Bible and worked as Jr. High girl's youth sponsor in my church. At that time the mother of one of my Jr. High girls worked in the same company as my future husband, Steve. Since he attended the company lunch Bible studies, she spoke to him about the girl named Linda that worked with her daughter. When he came to my church singles group he entered the room about five minutes late and sat down right beside me. We were married six months later. I had the special privilege of teaching neighborhood Bible classes for teens and children in our home for about twelve years. I was content in God's will and forgot all about writing novels and didn't miss it at all."

One day Steve brought Linda some books by C. S. Lewis. She was deeply impressed with the clear demonstration of good and evil in his novels. "It was as though the Lord was showing me that there were ways to write fiction that would honor Him. Soon afterward Steve and I were accepted at Multnomah SchooI of the Bible in Portland, Oregon where we completed the one year Grad course. "Returning to California, Linda began writing (in longhand) a huge fantasy trilogy, and when Steve started reading it he became interested in the characters and would forget that it was his wife who wrote it. Impressed with his wife's talent, he bought her a new early model IBM PC (with no hard drive!) and a word processor program to encourage her. Since Linda liked history, she began writing historical fiction that dealt with the struggles and testings of Christians living in dark times. After receiving many rejections, her first book was published in 1990. 'I was thrilled that the Lord had given my writing back to me. Since then I've written over thirty books, so I've made up for lost time!

Linda believes that God has called her to write. 'Edifying the Bride of Christ is my goal. I prayerfully consider what He wants me to say in each book. I research my choice of historical backgrounds and include main characters that respond to solid Biblical principles in a mostly hostile world. I want the reader to take away something that goes beyond being exposed to an interesting story that sells. My life verse is Jeremiah 29:11. God knows His good plans for each of us, and that should allow each of us to pillow our head at night with peace and contentment."

THE FOLLOWING IS THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS PAGE FROM WEBSITE

Q: What is Christian fiction? How do you define your genre of Christian Historical fiction? Is fiction even a
valid category for a Christian author? You have even written a historical fiction about the first Tyndale Bible. Is this appropriate?
A: I consider a Christian Historical Fiction novel as one in which the main character/s (regardless of the
choice of historical setting) live their lives according to Scriptural principles in a basically hostile world. I have seen some “Christian historical" novels that I think should not have been printed for one or more of the
following reasons:

a. They substituted speculation for known history, perhaps even contrary to history.
b. They did not study the attitudes of the period in which they placed their story.
c. They were not well acquainted with the Bible, and even substituted facts in the Bible with other ideas.
d. They attempted to justify unchristian morals, values, language.

I am cautions when I do a historical (especially a Biblical historical) to be accurate with the known history and characters, and for the fictional portion of my story—to be consistent and harmonious with the facts of the period. The goal is to edify the reader through the experiences of the fictional characters as they are caught up in the real history of the period. This is appropriate as long as the reader understands the distinction between historical and the fictional themes in the story.
For example: If you would like to understand the motivations of the different factions in the First Crusade, you will find my book “Swords and Scimitars” helpful. The secular school books are confusing and negative on Christianity over this topic, and most Christians are unable to explain it. If you would like to get an appreciation of the times in which the only English Bibles were the outlawed handwritten copies of John
Wycliffe’s work when William Tyndale suffered to have the New Testament reach the printing press, I think you will be inspired by Everlasting Flame/Recovery of the Lost Sword. If I have succeeded in my goal in such stories, the fictional characters will move the story along as you are confronted by the truths of the period.


Q: I've been looking for "Valiant Hearts" to purchase, but the only place I've found it was at Amazon - used - for $50.00! Can you tell me why this one book costs so much?
A: This is one of a few of the Earlier Books that I have run out of. I am surprised at how much they are asking on the used book market (presently $60.00, 12/03/05), so I am trying something new: I have purchased a used "Valiant Hearts" and a used "Jamaican Sunset" that am loaning out for a cost of only $4.00 (covers media mail postage and shipping) to any of my readers who are willing to send a deposit. The Deposit is $49.00 for "Valiant Hearts" and $32.00 for "Jamaican Sunset." All but $4.00 of the deposit will be returned when the book is mailed back in reasonable condition and time - the reader may hold the book up to 4 weeks before mailing back.


Q: Is there is a book 2 that follows, “For Whom the Stars Shine?”
A: The sequel is Spoils of Eden, with two more books following.

Q: I was wondering if there will be "Saturday's Child" book?
A: Thanks for asking about my “Day to Remember” series. It was decided to end the series at “Friday’s
Child”. I presented some ideas for a Saturday Book, but the publisher went instead for the set of two Western books, called “Desert Rose,” and “Desert Star” that are in the Historical Setting of Virginia City, Nevada. I’m confident you’ll like them also. These are from Harvest House Publishers. There is still hope the Saturday book may one day be published, but perhaps under a different title.


The following letter had many typical questions about my writing. I’ll take a shot at them:

1) Q: How do you describe scenery?
A: Read period authors who do it well. Read guide books about the areas you are interested in from
Chamber of Commerce, travel agencies, vacation guides are often descriptive. Look at photographs of the
area. Watch a sunset and put it into words, describe the surroundings, the wind on your face. Describe how
your location would look during the time you are studying about.

2) Q: How do you get so much information for your stories?
A: Facts must come from research. You've got to read the history before you can do a historical. You don’t
need to know everything, but any included facts must be correct, and you need an accurate sense of the
time, place, culture, and issues of the day where your story takes place.

3) Q: Where do you get your plots from?
A: They really do come from my imagination, but they develop as I read the period history and work with my characters.

4) Q: How do you choose names?
A: They mostly come from books for finding baby names, also telephone books. The Internet is helpful
because some sites even have sorting and searching for things like nationality.

5) Q: How do you come up with character dialogue?
A: It only comes naturally to me after I get to know my characters: their ambitions, concerns, fears, emotions, situations, historical setting, etc.

6) Q: Do you first write the ending, or the beginning of a story?
A: I do beginnings first - though they often need to be rewritten, shortened, or eliminated - especially since
they tend to have too much description before the start of the real story.

7) Q: How do you do it?
A: To write convincingly about Christian characters the author must know the scriptures and be in fellowship our great Savior. I also get my batteries recharged by reading other good writers. I can’t just produce continually.


Here is another recent Query:

Q: How do you narrow the range in which you study? Do you just take time and read it all? Also, any tips that you have about how you go about setting up your plot and how you focus in on a main theme.
A: After I decide which period of history I am interested in I start gathering the history books. I typically spend 6 weeks studying those texts before I start writing, but of course I am thinking about what I want to use as background for the story much of the time. It is true I study more history than can be used, but that is all part of deciding what would flow with my plot and be edifying to my readers. How much history I can use will also be affected by whether I will do only one book, or a series. The main theme often is based on the history and how the fictional characters will use their faith in Christ to decide the path they will walk among the often unique challenges of their particular time. The main fictional characters should progress in their faith. The fictional part of the plot should help the reader move through the history and be consistent with the truths and moods of the period I am writing about.

Thank you so very, very much Linda. I loved reading about your life and the many questions and answers you sent.
To my blog followers, Linda has graciously agreed to giveaway her newest book “The Spoils of Eden” to one of you. Here is my review of “The Spoils of Eden.”

MY REVIEW

Code Triage, is Book 3 in the Mercy Hospital series. I have never read a book by Candace Calvert before, but don’t plan on missing any more and I will read the ones I’ve missed.
This story is about Nick and Leigh Stathos. They are married but very close to being divorced. Leigh is a very tough kind of doctor in the ER. Officer Nick Stathos is a hard worker that helps over and beyond the call of duty. Nick made a mistake that put their marriage in jeopardy. Then things bring them together again and they both have to face each other and their decisions. Throw in a killer on drugs who wants his children and a woman who doesn’t want Nick and Leigh back together and you have a story full of action, romance, suspense, drama, faith , and a sincere man who wants so desperately to save his marriage after he hurt his wife.
I really enjoyed this book for many reasons. I love medical books and Code Triage is full of many different crazy episodes of emergencies. Leigh blames it on the full moon. I love books that are full of suspense. Code Triage keeps you on the edge of your seat. Romance in a book is always an added plus. In Code Triage the romance is between husband and wife. That’s really the special part.
I highly recommend this book and so will you. A wonderful book that won’t take you long to read, because it’s so exciting. Get your copy today.
