Greetings!
The second book in The Johnsons of Junova series, Heartbeat,
is still a work in progress, but I thought it would be a good time to meet the
main character, Sam Johnson. To that end, I’ve had a brief interview with him
to give you an idea of the sort of guy he really is:
For such a handsome cowboy, Sam doesn’t come
across as the most confident guy in the coffee house. He gives me a shy—but
totally breathtaking—grin as he nears the table where I’m enjoying a cup of
tea. I watch him pick up a shawl that has fallen from an elderly lady’s chair,
and his smile isn’t lost on her as he hands it to her. Arriving at our table,
he removes his hat before reaching out to shake my hand. His manners are
impeccable, and I hide a gasp as he takes the chair opposite me.
“I hope I haven’t kept you waiting,” he says,
with sincerity in his gorgeous eyes.
I assure him that he hasn’t, and the waitress
brings him a coffee before I start with the questions.
So,
you met Lydia at the hospital where your father was being treated following his
heart attack. Was she a patient at the time?
He nods, a dreamy look emanating from his whole
face. “Yes. She has arrhythmia, which means that her heart doesn’t keep the
usual, steady rhythm. At the time she’d just been helping her family move house
to Brightside and may have been overdoing things a little. Her heart was
beating too fast so she’d been taken in while they monitored it and observed
her.” With a little laugh he adds, “Though they didn’t observe her all that
well as she kept sneaking off the ward whenever she wasn’t wired up to
machinery. She said she got bored and went off to explore the rest of the
hospital.”
What
first attracted her to you?
He laughs, looking a little sheepish. “She’s very
beautiful. But I was really taken by the way she was so upbeat about
everything. So positive. We got talking and she really made me feel quite
optimistic about my dad, who’d had a recent heart attack, as you probably know.
She even made me laugh at times when I thought my whole world was about to come
crashing down on me. Dad didn’t make a lot of progress at first, and the family
were all real concerned about whether he’d pull through.”
How
did Lydia cope with her own health situation?
Sam gives me an incredulous look. “The same way
she copes with everything—with positivity. She’s lived with her condition all
her life, but it’s just recently that it’s started to become a problem. She
knows her family worry about her, but she wishes they wouldn’t fret so much.
Lydia’s a sensible girl; she takes her meds regularly and tries to live a
healthy lifestyle. The last thing she wants is to be treated any different from
anyone else. She doesn’t see arrhythmia as an illness or anything, it’s just
something she lives with.” He smiles. “She’s amazing.”
Is she
‘the one’?
He beams. “You’ll have to find that out for
yourself. Love never runs smoothly, but I will say that’s she’s an incredible
and very understanding woman. You can’t help but love her.”
Looks like we’ll have to wait for the release
of Heartbeat to find out more, but I
hope this gives a little insight into the guy himself. I’ll let you know as
soon as I have a launch date organised.
Stay safe and well until next time,
Raine
