About The Book


Four Friends, One Secret and The Weekend That Changed Their Destiny

Candace Walker, Kaylan Smith, Jordan Tate, and Tiffany Thomas have their share of sorrows, but neither of them realizes how deep the sorrow goes.  What happens when they agree to meet for a weekend of relaxation in beautiful Napa County? Which one will leave the same or worse?

For Candace Walker, life has left her battered and bruised.  Kaylan Smith has struggled with prejudice from her in-laws. After fifteen years of marriage, bitterness is trying to raise its ugly head for Jordan Tate, whose husband wants to call it quits. And for Tiffany Thomas, dealing with rejection has never been one of her greatest feats.

Although they have been friends for years, they thought they knew each other well. But will a secret destroy their relationship and bring the sisterhood to a complete halt? Will they be able to forgive and allow God to mend that which might be torn?

Describe yourself in three words.
I would describe myself as: ambitious, gifted and spiritual

What is a typical day like for you?
My typical day starts out by having a cup of hazelnut coffee, walking a few miles and promoting my clients.

What do you want to do different in 2013 that you didn’t do in 2012?
Write another novella before years end.

What television show best describes your life and why?     
The Haves and Have Nots! I come from a large family of eight.  Minus the drama from Candace, each member of my family is dealing with something in life that will ultimately cause them to grow stronger or it might destroy them.

What’s your favorite quote & why?
My favorite quote comes from the Bible:  Romans 8:28 The Message (MSG)
26-28 Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

I love this passage because so many times in my life especially when going through tests and trials I wonder how things are going to work out.

What character in your new book could you most relate to?
Tiffany

What’s next for you?
I’m working on another Novella for Valentine’s Day 2014

What song would you use as the soundtrack of your life and why?
I Didn’t Know My Own Strength by Whitney Houston. At the lowest points in my life, when my life seemed to be crumbling the words to this song echoed my feelings, my emotions and thoughts. Many times I didn’t think I would make it, darkness covered my world, dreams were lost, plans shattered, but it was my faith in God and His Word that keep me.

The Adventures of Nurse Nicole – N is for Nurse Virtual Book Tour (Giveway Included)

About the Book

The Adventures of Nurse Nicole is a wonderfully clever and bright series about a nurse with three children who are curious about nursing. The Adventures of Nurse Nicole, “N is for Nurse” describes the art and science of nursing from A to Z with positive images of the nursing profession. Nursing is one of the most sought after and trusted professions in the world. This is a must-have book, because everyone will need a nurse one day. The next book from The Adventures of Nurse Nicole is titled, “Wash Your Hands,” and is also available. 




My Review

Great children's book. In a time when so many nurses are overworked and burned out, it's nice to see a nurse so dedicated to her vocation that she wants to share it with the world. I was very impressed with these books. As for the content itself, the pictures were very well done and the text very informative. It was delivered in a way that held my 7 year old son's attention which was a good sign, because I believe he's on the upper end of the age spectrum for her audience. The first book, N is for Nurse is one that I wish I had several years ago. Not only does it share information for children about healthcare, it's a great tool for reviewing the alphabet. 

My favorite of the two was "Wash Your Hands" probably because I'm constantly telling my son to wash his hands. The book addressed every area of my concern with respect to handwashing from handling the family dog to playing sports. It was nice to have this resource to drill the message home. The graphics of germs were also very well done. I highly recommend these books for parents of children from ages 3 - 7.

Secrets and Lies Book Release


This has been the most exciting week of my life. My novel, Secrets and Lies was released on last Tuesday. Some stores won't put it out until this coming Tuesday, but suffice to day, it's been sighted on the shelves in bookstores all over the county. Above is a picture I took and below is a picture of a reader in California digging in. Hi Sheryl! She finished it literally overnight. I was so pleased. I really appreciated the picture too. Readers are making this so fun.

So, I'm here, at the place I've been anticipating for two years and I have to tell you, it feels even better than I thought it would. I've had some great reviews. Click here to read them on Amazon. More are coming, they just haven't been posted. I've also had some great emails from readers. Here's a little from one I received just last night:

"Wow..I just finished the book and I am typing this between tears. It was AWESOME. I can't wait for you to publish another."

Can I say, wow, I'm typing through tears too? That's the best. The absolute best. I mean, I didn't mean to make her cry, but I'm glad she was moved. I'm glad the story touched her heart.

I'll keep you updated this week. For now you can visit two blogs for a chance to win the novel.

Here's a little from my interview at A Christian Writer's World and the link to read the rest:


SECRETS AND LIES - Rhonda McKnight - Free Book


Tell us how much of yourself you write into your characters.

I actually think there’s very little of me in my characters. They’re a combination of different people I know, and my bad girl walked right out of my imagination. I had to dig deep to create her persona. But I will say there are elements of my life in the actual stories, more so in Secrets and Lies than my other projects, probably because it was my first novel.

What is the quirkiest thing you have ever done?

Oh dear, I’m not too quirky, but I did perform Mariah Carey’s song “Hero” on a cruise boat during Karaoke. What was I thinking?

When did you first discover that you were a writer?

That’s an interesting question, click here for more and to comment to win a free book.

I'm also over at Chocolate City which is a cool urban site. Here's a little and link:

Secrets and lies in relationships: Is it ever okay to keep your past hidden?

“Communication is critical in relationships, but the only thing worse than a lack of communication is secrets and lies between you.”Rhonda McKnight, author of the novel, Secrets and Lies

I’ve always been blessed with nice skin, so whenever I have a pimple on my face it’s a major intrusion. I hate that toxic, bacteria and whatever else is in there brewing under the surface of my skin. But to keep from the dreaded thing from scaring, I don’t touch it. I always wait until the pimple comes to a head and burst on its own. Once the gook is out, I know that if I don’t pick or scratch at the surface my skin will eventually return to its clear, smooth state. 

I liken this to the hidden issues people bring into relationships. They’re toxins and bacteria that are growing under the surface waiting to erupt and spill their gook. But will everything go back to its normal state if the hidden issues are discovered rather than shared? Or will the source of the information pick and scratch at the heart of the person who feels deceived and betrayed? Click here to read more and enter to win a copy of Secrets and Lies.

As always, thanks for stopping by and I wish you a life where no one keeps secrets or tells lies.

Blessings,
