I like to do things a little differently. I drive a crazy little car called a Nissan Cube, I like unusual clothes that no one else has, and I’m probably one of a very few female James Bond fanatics you’ll ever meet. If it’s a little off the beaten path, I like it.
My readers tell me that’s what they like most about my books—there always just a little bit different. After all, you wouldn’t just expect any old hero from a woman who’s written the books I have: where the heroine is the voice of an animated owl, a plot that is basically Zorro meets Lois Lane, and a WWI hero who gets forced to knit as a promotional stunt.
When high school guidance counselor Heather Browning gets stuck with Max as a mentor to a gawky freshman boy who also uses a wheelchair, she has serious doubts as to how things will work out. She eventually learns that sometimes God forges partnerships we never would have imagined. Turns out Heather has some healing to do as well. She and Max have a lot to teach each other—and young Simon, the high school student, does his own teaching and learning in this tender, funny story.
What about you? What are some unique heroes that have captured your heart?
