Just like in this
photograph which my husband took while we were at Milford Sound in New Zealand--where from a distance the tall, dark figure looks like a creepy
character screaming, but when you look closer it reveals a majestic and beautiful mountain--the details hidden in <i>One Fell Down</i> don't necessarily reveal their full truths until the reader sees them in the final light.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;">I decided to post this info today because I just received this pic and thought it was a great way to celebrate. Anyway, last April (April Fools Day, no less) I was notified that BETRAYED had been nominated for the 2015 Whitney Awards. It still has a couple of judging processes to go through before it has a chance to actually win, but it has been nominated. Yay! This official nomination comes strictly from readers (books must receive 5 separate nominations), so thank you to whoever nominated it.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707795130496152910.post-68122709093099252422015-04-20T11:31:00.002-07:002015-04-20T11:31:20.533-07:00BETRAYED (the inspiration)One question readers often ask is "Where do you get your ideas?"

My publisher, Covenant Communications, has put together a great blog tour for <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Betrayed-Ronda-Gibb-Hinrichsen-ebook/dp/B00QW10HGS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421775313&sr=8-1&keywords=betrayed+hinrichsen">Betrayed</a></i>. The tour is on day 2, and so far I've received many dream-come-true reviews which have been posted on important sites like Amazon and Goodreads; tweets about my book have surfaced through Twitter; and I am finding new readers. Yay!<br />
<br />
Along with the blog tour is a rafflecopter giveaway for a $25 gift card & a free copy of the book. Totally awesome! The easiest way to enter is to follow this <a href="https://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/0ae98b8a9/">link </a>or go to one of those provided on the Jan 20th blog tour sites.

Many wonderful & cherished friends and fans attended the Brigham City, Utah Seagull Bookstore.to help me launch <i>Betrayed</i>, my new historical romantic suspense novel. I won't lie. Having my books published and read is a long-held dream come true. But I also love these events because I get to see so many wonderful people, some of whom travel long distances.

<i><b><span style="color: red;">Betrayed </span></b></i>will be released next week! Here's a behind-the scenes look at the three main characters who create the book's love triangle:<br />
<br />
<u><b>Julia Barrett</b></u>: Most of <i><b><span style="color: red;">Betrayed </span></b></i>is told through Julia's point of view. She has grown up in Niagara and has long been engaged to Adam Wolcott. Readers will quickly get to know her, but what they won't readily know is I based a bit of Julia's physical description on a friend of mine named Celeste. Celeste is a beautiful, capable woman with a strong and kind heart, but one of the things I most love about her is that her goodness lights up her entire countenance. Every time I talk with her, I can't help but notice the good-humored brightness in her eyes. Thus, my character, Julia Barrett, has eyes that are so much like Celeste's that her brother refers to her as "Jewels" in honor of her eyes.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Adam Wolcott</u></b>: Adam is a wealthy, charismatic, tall-dark-and-handsome young man with a strong business sense and a determination to get what he most wants out of life--including Julia--no matter the personal sacrifice to himself. I've often thought of him as being a cross between Adam (Richard Long), from the 1960's western series, <i>The Big Valley</i>, and Richard Armitage from the movie, <i>North and South</i>.<br />
<br />

<br />
Richard Long Richard Armitage<br />
<br />
<b><u>Tom Harrison</u></b>: He's a blonde, handsome, self-made man who left his abusive home as a boy and apprenticed himself out to a magician. He, like Adam, is in love with Julia, but unlike Adam, he is Julia's brother's best friend. Unfortunately, Julia's brother dies, and Tom vows to take her brother's place in helping the Barrett's cross the plains to the Salt Lake Valley. Since Adam is a magician, and because I've come to really enjoy a TV show called <i>The Carbonaro Effect</i>, a cross between a magic show and "Hidden Camera", I've added a YouTube clip from the show at the bottom of this post. Enjoy!<br />

<i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">(This article was originally published on </span></i><a href="http://www.gospelideals.org/i-know-that-my-redeemer-lives"><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gospel Ideals</span></i></a><i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">).</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">“I
know that my Redeemer lives.” Job said it. Other prophets and apostles of both
the Bible and Book of Mormon have said it, and each first Sunday of every
month, numerous members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints,
including me, testify of it in their Fast and Testimony meetings. However, even
with so many testators, millions of people ask how they can personally attain a
sure knowledge that Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, does in fact live.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The
answer is quite simple: Heavenly Father, by the power of the Holy Ghost, will
reveal it to our hearts and minds when we sincerely obey and pray to Him
(Moroni 10:4-5).</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This
truth—this promise from God—is a process that applies to all people and in all
ages of their lives. For example, a friend of mine recently asked her
six-year-old niece how she knew Heavenly Father loved her. She replied that she
knew Heavenly Father loved her because when she kept the commandments, He
helped her. She had not only obeyed Him, but she had also recognized His hand
in her life.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">My
first steps toward my testimony of Jesus Christ began in a similar fashion when
I was a child. I no longer remember all the details surrounding such events, or
even all the prayers I offered, but I do remember that every time I prayed to
Him about things that were important to me at the time but now seem a bit
frivolous, I recognized that He had answered me anyway. I prayed to Him for
things like help in finding lost items, in providing ways to stay modest when
my clothes were malfunctioning, and in achieving goals I’d spent many hours
working on. In every instance, God answered those prayers in the affirmative,
and each time He did, I not only knew that He had done so, but my trust and
belief in Him also grew. I began to know that my redeemer lives.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">But
affirmative answers to my prayers are not the only reason I know God lives. I,
like every person on this earth, have trials that test me almost more than I
think I can bear. Many of them are ongoing, and though I have prayed for relief
from them, they continue. Along that path, however, God has blessed me with
tender, comforting mercies that provide a touch of balm to my soul and give me
the strength to carry on.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">One
of those loving mercies came while I was working with young women in a
spiritual activity at achurch girls’ camp. All the participants were
blind-folded, given an animal sound, and told we needed to find the rest of our
“family” by making the assigned sound. When we found our family members, we
were to hold them close to us and ultimately complete a specific task which
brought us “Home.”</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">As
luck would have it, shortly after I found my family, I lost them again, and at
the end of activity, I was a lone person in the field. At that point, someone
noticed I was “lost” and sent my family to retrieve me. They did so, and
finally, tearfully, I returned to home base. But I wasn’t tearful because I was
embarrassed I was the last one on the field (though I slightly was); I was
crying because one of Christ’s parables had suddenly become alive in me; Alone
in that field, I had received an answer of comfort to one of my never-ending
prayers.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The
parable is found in Matthew 20:1-16. It describes how a householder hired
laborers for his vineyard at varying times of the day, and at the end of the
day, paid all workers the same reward. Before that activity, when I’d read that
parable, I’d thought as many of the earlier-hired workers in the story had,
that it wasn’t fair for those who’d worked all day to receive the same wage as
those who’d worked an hour. However, as I stood alone, after all I could do on
my own, and was finally rescued, I realized that parable witnesses of Christ’s
mercy. I learned that it doesn't matter to Him whether we make it to God’s
Kingdom first or last. What matters is that we get there. And when we get
there, we’ll each receive the same reward: Eternal Life.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">That
answered prayer, along with many others, comforted my heart and strengthened my
hope in Jesus Christ. That is how I know that my redeemer lives.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
