I am the owner and president of Sales Solutions, a placement company for talented sales professionals.\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Where do you live, and why do you choose to live there?<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tMy permanent residence is in Fort Worth, Texas. It&rsquo;s a small town with a big heart. I&rsquo;ve lived there for years, and I&rsquo;m well-known in the business community. But I am currently living in a town a couple of hours south of Fort Worth, Crescent Bluff. I&rsquo;ve recently purchased a small home as a gift for my mom, and I am refurbishing it for her while she is visiting my sister in Australia.\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t<strong>What is a quirk of your personality that people don&#39;t know?<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tI hate to admit it, but I&rsquo;ve become a closet romance novel reader. Don&rsquo;t laugh! A wise women once told me men could learn a lot about the hearts and minds of women by reading romance novels. So&hellip;I decided to take her advice.\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Who chronicled your story, and why do you think he\/she picked you?<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tCarol James chronicled my story, and I think she chose me because she could do something most people can&rsquo;t. She could see through my &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve got this all together&rdquo; exterior to discover that I really don&rsquo;t. She saw my need for redemption and knew where I had to go to find it.\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t<strong>What obstacles did you overcome in order to reach your happily-ever-after?<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tWe&rsquo;ve all made mistakes. Some worse than others. And one of the choices I made was so selfish, so unfeeling, that I believed I would never be able to overcome it &#8211; that I was beyond forgiveness. I had to realize nothing I had done could keep me from God&rsquo;s love. While I was running away, He was pursuing me.\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tell us about your special romantic interest. What makes them so special?<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tLivy&hellip; I&rsquo;ve never met anyone more loving or more trusting. Even though she&rsquo;s faced loss and difficulties, she&rsquo;s been able to rise above her circumstances. She&rsquo;s the perfect example of someone allowing God to take the ashes of our lives and make them into something beautiful. (And it doesn&rsquo;t hurt that she&rsquo;s really easy on the eyes.)\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t<strong>The first time you saw your special person, what did you think? Was it love at first sight or did they have to grow on you?<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tI can honestly say it wasn&#39;t love at first sight, but it was certainly &ldquo;intrigue at first sight.&rdquo; When she approached me in the perfume store, her poise and friendliness blew me away. And she had no clue the amount of warmth and assurance she projected. I wanted to hire her right then.\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThank you Carol\n<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t<strong>In no more than<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tTen (10)&nbsp;words, what is the spiritual takeaway for your reader?<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tNothing is too hard for God.\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t&nbsp;\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t<strong>What is your hero&#39;s main character flaw?<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tPride\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t<strong>What is your heroine&#39;s main character flaw?<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tPerfectionism\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t&nbsp;\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t<strong>What makes your hero heroic?<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tHe is the perfect example of a sacrificial lover, and yet, he doesn&rsquo;t even realize it.\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<strong>what makes your heroine heroic?<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tShe has a servant&rsquo;s heart.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Redeeming Christmas (Christmas Holiday Extravaganza)\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_Um0n3F1c8ZjQC4&#038;asin=B08KSFW6F8&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome&nbsp;Carol James and her new Christmas Extravaganza, Redeeming Christmas And meet the hero from her book.
