by Crystal Caudill | Sep 9, 2025 | Character Interview
I think by now we all know what an Erica Vetsch fan I am, and I am just SOOOOOO excited to get to steal away Sir Bertrand Thorndike from Erica for just a little while. I mean, who doesn’t want to spend time with a member of the House of Commons who moonlights as a spy? Before we dive into talking to Bertie. Here is the smashing blurb for book 2 of the Of Cloaks and Daggers series, A Scheming in Parliament. Oh, and by the way, Erica is generously giving away a print copy of the book to one lucky U.S. resident. Check out the details at the end of this post!
A Scheming at Parliament by Erica Vetsch
Evil is masquerading in the halls of Parliament, and Sir Bertrand Thorndike is tasked with investigating from the inside. With his new position as a member of the House of Commons, he has access to the power brokers of English government. His tactic is to listen and learn, careful not to reveal his true motives, and he’s quickly inducted into the mysterious Theban Club.
Miss Philippa Cashel’s mission, the Princess Charlotte Eleos School for Women in Need, is thriving with donations, and the students are learning skills to help them earn their livings in honorable ways. But when a dear friend’s past is revealed by blackmail, Philippa must wrestle with the question, Is it ever right to do the wrong thing?
Bertie’s and Philippa’s missions collide when Bertie uncovers a dangerous plot involving vulnerable women. He and Philippa join forces against the corruption threatening to topple England’s government, all while navigating their outward reputations and inward feelings for each other.Purchase Links: Amazon | Baker Book House | Christos | Kregel Parable
Now for our interview with Sir Bertrand.
CC: I’m so excited to get to introduce you to my readers. Would you mind telling them a little bit about yourself?
SBT: I suppose you could say I am the hero of the story, though it seems odd to consider myself such. I’m the second son of an earl, knighted by His Majesty for contributions to the kingdom, a newly elected Member of Parliament for the borough of Southwark. But my most important job is as an agent for the Crown.
CC: Oh you are most definitely a hero, and I’m so excited to spend some time with you.
Since you are an agent for the Crown, what is it that you are searching for and what is standing in your way?
SBT: Currently, I want to discover and root out corruption in British politics. There is skullduggery afoot in the House of Commons, and I have been tasked by my supervisor to identify it and the culprits perpetrating it.
CC: I adore that word skullduggery, it’s such a perfect description of what troubles surround you. I don’t suspect you have much time to just relax and read a book, but IF you did, what would you pick up?
SBT: I mostly read the newspaper and the reports that come across my desk, though now that I am an MP, there seems to be nothing but reading! If I was to pick up a book there are a couple that are getting a lot of attention at the moment…written by “A Lady.” Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice seem intriguing. My supervisor’s wife has read them and highly approves.
CC: Ah yes. That “A Lady” is quite the writer, though I imagine the number of men who would say they enjoy her writing are far fewer than the women. LOL I assume that growing up to be an agent for the Crown wasn’t something you were aware of as a possibility. Was there anything else you ever wanted to be?
SBT: As the second son of an earl, my options were somewhat limited until I learned of the family business. I come from a long line of spies for the Crown. After I became aware of my heritage, there was no question but that I would join their ranks. Though before that time, when I was a boy, I dreamed of being a pirate, a soldier, and oddly enough, a pie man. When we would go to London, I loved buying a pie from a costermonger’s cart, and I thought if I became a pie man, I could have all the pies I wanted.
CC: LOL, oh if only we could eat all the pies we wanted, even as a constermonger. You sound like the typical boy, and I bet you were adored by your family. Although things can change. How do you think others view you?
SBT: Until recently, most would have viewed me as an idle dilletante who had a fondness for drink. This was a persona I cultivated in my work as a spy. People are less careful about what they say to someone they believe is sotted beyond what they will remember on the morrow. Very useful in my line of work. However, lately, I have been encouraged to clean up my reputation, stand for Parliament, and even to cast about for a wife. Neither of these personas are the ‘real me’ but they are what I present to the world. I am not bothered about what people think about these fictional characters I play. I find them a good way to keep people at a distance and from knowing the person behind the facade.
CC: Living a facade must get tiring though. I imagine you wish that one day there would be someone who would see you and love you for the real you. What do you think about love and marriage? IS there a particular woman you have in mind for a future?
SBT: If you had asked me a few months ago, I would have said love and marriage were fine for other people, but I was not tempted in the least. However, lately, there is one certain young lady who has caught my eye. It’s only too bad that she is even more averse to marriage than I was not long ago. Winning her would be an uphill battle for sure.
CC: Ah, but hard-won loves are the best in my opinion. I can’t wait to see how this uphill battle goes for you as you bring an end to all skullduggary and villains. LAST question, do you have any phobias?
SBT: Heights, spiders, tight spaces, having to eat seafood…
CC: Oh dear. If ever you have dinner at my house, I’ll have to keep that in mind. We are big seafood fans.
Readers, I hope you will get to know Sir Bertrand better yourselves by diving into his latest adventure, A Scheming in Parliament by Erica Vetsch.

The Bartered Bride
by Erica Vetsch
2009 – original, 2025 – rerelease REVIEW
I’ve always enjoyed Erica’s books, and it’s nice to go back and read her backlist. This story was a real quick read, full of wonderful historical detail, a forced marriage story I could get on board with, and strong-willed characters. I truly enjoyed reading Jonathan and Melissa’s story. I loved seeing them come together, was sort of annoyed by the taking something out of context over-hearing breakup (but it fit the story), but loved how things came back together in a healthy relationship way. I’m definitely looking forward to finishing the rest of the rereleased series after I finish drafting my current work in progress.
Genre: Historical Romance, American 1900s
Plot Overview:
A rebellious suffragette and a steadfast sailor—tied by duty, divided by secrets, and tempted by a love that changes everything.
A born sailor, Jonathan Kennebrae thrives in his role running his grandfather’s shipping enterprise. That is until his grandfather delivers a crippling ultimatum—Jonathan will marry Melissa Brooke or lose his inheritance and everything he’s worked for. Though Jonathan finds himself drawn to Melissa, he can’t help feeling his intended may not be who she appears to be.
Melissa Brooke is tired of being voiceless. She’s been the perfect daughter all her life, doing what she’s told for the good of the family. Except she has a secret. Melissa lives a double life, teaching literacy to struggling immigrant women and fighting for the suffragette movement. If she goes through with the wedding, she’ll be forced to abandon her life’s work. Yet refusing the union could cost her any chance at an inheritance to fund her cause. To make matters worse, she can’t deny the tender feelings blooming between her and her fiancé.
Originally published as part of the Kennebrae Brides series.

by Crystal Caudill | Aug 19, 2025 | Author Interviews
I’ve had the blessing of knowing T. Elizabeth Renich for several years now–or maybe it’s more. Time is slipping by faster than I want to admit. Either way, It’s been a blessing to get to know T.E. who wrote a fantastic Civil War series called the Shadow Creek Chronicles, and now she has jumped periods and is working on an intriguing Revolutionary War series, the Sovereign Liberty Series,. The first book, A Worthy Risk, is already out and ready for you to dive into. T.E. is graciously giving away a print copy to one U.S. Resident. Check out the end of this post for the details on how to have your chance. Before we go much deeper, allow me to give you a proper introduction to T.Elizabeth Renich.
T. Elizabeth Renich has written five historical novels, worked for two NFL teams, and visited all fifty United States of America. International travels have found her in Germany, Japan, Ireland, Israel, Scotland, and England. She hunts historical markers and shares hope as an ovarian cancer survivor. Her love of photography is evident as she documents research trips and life, giving glory to God for the great things He has done.
You can connect with her through: Website | Facebook | Instagram | Gorgeous Georgians Facebook Group hosted with Laura Frantz
Now for the fun stuff! I have to admit I am partial to my Fast Five. 🙂 So settle in as I hit T. E. with rapid-fire.
CC: Rain or snow?
TE: Snow
CC: Makeup or no makeup?
TE: Makeup
CC: Personal maid or personal chef?
TE: Personal maid
CC: Arrive early, just on time, or late?
TE: Arrive early
CC: Food fight or water balloon fight?
TE: Water balloon fight
You people who arrive early never cease to amaze me. LOL So let’s dive into the nitty gritty.
What kind of stories are your favorite to write?
TE: Historical – because I have some readers who grew up not liking history and I’ve been able to change their minds… learning can be fun, and setting fiction in historical places helps dates and places come alive.
CC: It’s always broken my heart that so many history teachers have done a disservice to the next generation. I was blessed to have AMAZING middle school history teachers who brought history to life and inspired a love of history in almost all their students.
Do you read fiction while you are writing your own stories?
TE: Sometimes, if I have time — depends how close the approaching deadline is looming! I have investigated some fiction set in the same time period to see how other authors may have handled similar events — it makes a difference when trying to attain a fresh perspective on a “famous” historical event or being true to the nature of an actual historical person who lived in my time period, based on letters and diaries.
CC: Time is such a limited commodity! And all the research that goes into writing a good story really detracts from what reading time we get. I definitely don’t read as much as I used to, and it’s sad in a way.
What is your favorite part about writing?
TE: Favorite part about writing is the research because it helps shape the story. Least favorite is the research because I get waylaid from writing by far too many rabbit trails…
CC: Ha! Ha! Boy do I feel this one, especially when you’re at a part of a story that you don’t want to write. Research is the perfect legitimate excuse to get no writing done. LOL
Why do you write Christian Fiction?
T.E.: I believe writing Christian fiction is the mission field the LORD has called me to, amid the pages, to reach people I may never get to meet this side of heaven. The words He provides carry impact and influence, to be used wisely and for His glory.
CC: Amen. It’s definitely a challenging ministry to be called to, but what a blessing it is.
If someone has never read any of your books before, where should they start?
T.E.: A Worthy Risk is the first installment of my new Sovereign Liberty Series, so it’s a great place to start. (If readers enjoy that, they can find my Shadowcreek Chronicles series to tide them over until the second in the new series is released ; )
CC: Speaking of A Worthy Risk, let’s dive into talking about it!
Purchase your copy at Amazon
CC: Why did you write A Worthy Risk?
T.E.: I wrote this story because after spending time in Williamsburg, a friend challenged me to “do something” about the history in my own backyard — I live in Virginia — which would make it easy access for research. Williamsburg emphasizes the American Revolution, but I needed to back the story up so that I had an understanding of how the American colonies got to the point of declaring their independence from England. I knew very little about the French & Indian War and had never heard of Fort Michilimackinac. Learning about the years prior to the American Revolution served as a reminder that we were all British until 1776.
CC: How fun that a friend’s dare led you on an adventure in your own backyard. I’m looking forward to seeing what your research has brought up for us.
What is a fun fact readers might not know?
T.E.: In A Worthy Risk, I make mention of the defined boundary between Maryland and Pennsylvania as established by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon in 1767 — but it wasn’t called the Mason-Dixon Line until 1820 when it became known as the divide between northern and southern states, as referenced in my Shadowcreek books.
CC: Oh that’s funny! I love close enough to the Mason-Dixon line that we’ve called it that many many times, but I had no idea that is what it actually referenced (the first part, I knew the second).
How did this story affect you as you wrote it?
T.E.: I had to do a lot of research, and I’m thankful for the provision of time and travel to places where things happened in my story. Being able to see the places first hand helps me see and convey the story to readers better.
CC: That truly is such a blessing. I don’t get to travel much these days, and thus my current series is set in my backyard.
What do you hope readers will take away from your story?
T.E.: I hope readers will learn one thing new to them that they didn’t know (or don’t remember learning in school) that might spark an interest in history.
CC: I love that. Historical fiction really is a blessing in helping others to become interested in history.
I always like to end with a fun question so . . .
You are in the back of a police car on your way to jail. What did you do, and is anyone with you?
T.E.: Maybe parking or flipping a U-Turn where it’s not allowed — to find a historical marker. Whoever is my current research assistant is likely in my passenger seat because they volunteered to ride along — ha!
CC: LOL! Those historical markers are in the most AWFUL places to stop. It’s always so annoying.
Readers, I hope you’ll check out A Worthy Risk and then leave a review on Amazon, Goodreads, and/or BookBub. You wouldn’t believe how important that is to an author.
Reader, what was your childhood history classes like?

Surge
by Voni Harris
Review by: Crystal Caudill
This military romance was certainly outside of my normal reads and genre. With all the mega-long names–ranks, call signs, and real names–and military jargon and acronyms, it was a little harder to follow than I’m used to. However, it was fun to get to know Delany, Garrett “Bear”, and, of course, the MWD (military working dog) Surge. From what I gather from normal military books, this was pretty standard in that there was a group of terrorists threatening to do massive damage (through poison) to the US population. A group of four with the MWD are pulled in to save the US, all while trying to overcome past personal hurdles and a distinct distrust and dislike of the two main characters. I can say military fiction probably isn’t something I’ll be reading much of, but I enjoyed reading my friend’s debut novel.
Genre: Military Romance
Plot Overview:
Love and Betrayal in a Race Against Time
Delaney Thompson isn’t just a dog trainer—she’s the key to preventing a disaster. With loyal Military Working Dog, Surge, by her side, she’s ready to prove herself on her first mission…even without military training. Her goal? Help the intense Belgian Malinois track down a specific chemical linked to a dangerous terrorist group before it reaches American soil. But to succeed, she must navigate unfamiliar terrain and an even more unpredictable partner.
Garrett Walker is a seasoned military operator, driven by duty and haunted by tragic losses. Reluctantly, he teams up with Delaney, whose lack of tactical experience makes her a liability as he leads them across Southeast Asia. Yet Garrett knows that mission success and the safety of countless lives back home hinge on his leadership, the Malinois’s special scent training, and Delaney’s unique skills.
The stakes couldn’t be higher: if Delaney and Garrett fail to locate and secure the toxic chemical, hundreds of thousands of Americans could die. As they hunt down the terrorists, their objectives are clear—find the stash, neutralize the threat, and try not to get killed. But with mutual distrust simmering between them, their greatest challenge may be learning to rely on each other.
A gripping tale of suspense, betrayal, and unexpected romance. Dive into this high-stakes adventure where every moment counts…and falling in love might just be the most perilous move of all.

by Crystal Caudill | Jul 22, 2025 | Author Interviews
It’s always a blessing to get to introduce you to a new author. I think I’ve known Teresa for quite a while, and I’m so excited for her to release her debut novel. Teresa is graciously giving one U.S. resident a signed copy of her book and a bookmark. You’ll find the information for all that at the end of this post. For now, let’s get to know Teresa.
A former teacher and librarian, Teresa Wells treasures a story threaded with redemption and hope. She loves people, history, and studying the Bible. Teresa is a member of Novel Academy and American Christian Fiction Writers Association, where she volunteers behind the scenes. She lives with her family outside of Dallas, Texas. What Brings Us Joy is her first novel.
You can connect with her through: Website | Newsletter | Facebook | Instagram
Now for the fun stuff! I have to admit I am partial to my Fast Five. 🙂 So settle in as I hit Teresa with rapid-fire.
CC: Rain or snow?
TW: Rain–it’s temporary!
CC: Makeup or no makeup?
TW: Makeup! Really. Like, every day, morning to midnight. I have too much compassion for my fellow humans to go without it!
CC: Personal maid or personal chef?
TW: Personal maid! I’d be totally okay with a full-time, live-in maid.
CC: Arrive early, just on time, or late?
TW: Early! I hope my kids’ teachers aren’t reading this … I COULD have been that mom whose kids are perpetually late! Let’s just say life is better with time to spare!
CC: Food fight or water balloon fight?
TW: Since I can’t stand having dirty, gooey, sticky hands, I’m gonna go for the water balloon fight. At least you’re clean at the end of it!
I get the want to be early, but having kids means being perpetually late! LOL And good point about food fights!
Do you read fiction while you are writing your own stories? Why or why not?
TW: Absolutely! More specifically, I listen to fiction. Not while I’m in the act of writing, of course, but I have an audiobook going during the time I’m plotting, drafting, revising, or editing my own book. Why? Because I can’t live without fiction! Plus, laundry is totally okay if my mind is in another time and place. What do I listen to on audio? It depends. If I’m really digging into my own storyworld, I’ll choose a contemporary romance or romantic suspense. And every once in awhile I’ll listen to a podcast–but it better be good, or I’m switching back to my fictitious world.
CC: Fictitious worlds really are so much better!
What is your favorite part about writing? Why? What is your least favorite? Why?
TW: I love discovering the characters. I fill out a detailed questionnaire for each one, using a spiral notebook and taking my time to really think about what makes them laugh, what they feel is an injustice, what their weaknesses and strengths are. At the end of that process, I feel like these characters are friends of mine. If I know my characters, the storytelling goes much quicker.
My least favorite? Writing the first draft. My perfectionist side dukes it out with my hurry-up-and-tell-the-story side.
CC: Drafting is SO hard. Perfectionism can be a real problem during that part of the process!
Do you have a general writing process you follow or does it change all the time? What does your process look like from beginning to end?
TW: I’ve found that planning the story ahead of the writing gives me a sense of comfort. But I also allow myself flexibility to vary from the plan if it makes the story better.
When I’m writing, I need to feel like I’m right there alongside my heroine. I’ve found that taping up Sanborn maps of my town shows me the businesses that existed at the time of my story. I’ve printed photos of people who remind me of my characters and tacked them to the closet door in my office. And this might seem a little extreme, but sometimes I need to physically act out a scene. In What Brings Us Joy, Delia is an expert needlewoman. To place myself in her shoes, I did cross stitch. Doing that reminded me of all the stray threads that land on your clothes when you’re sewing, and of how tedious it is to thread a needle. In book two of this series, my heroine loves gardening. I might have to put aside my fear of wasps and bees and plant a little garden in my backyard!
CC: I also dive into trying to do as much as I can of my characters. The more hands-on you can be about learning your characters, the more authentic they can be.
How have you seen God work in your writing journey?
TW: He’s allowed me to feel more dependent on Him, especially when insecurity rears its ugly head. When I give those feelings to Him and ask for His guidance, I feel stronger, more sure of His purpose in my life. The situation doesn’t change, but my ability to cope with it does, with His help.
CC: There is nothing like writing to teach you how dependent you are on Him.
Why do you write Christian fiction?
TW: I’ve tried writing clean, no mention of the Lord, but I just can’t do it. To me, a world with no mention of the Lord feels empty.
CC: I understand that. I love that God has called different writers to reach different audiences and none is better than another, just all serving His purpose.
Do you have any advice for those who want to write their own stories?
TW: My biggest advice is to know your end goal. If it’s to get your thoughts on paper, then go for it! Write in a journal to your heart’s content. If you want to write for publication, whether short stories or full length novels, then devote yourself to learning the craft at least six months before you try to get a publishing contract.
CC: Those are all good things to keep in mind.
Now I’m excited to talk about What Brings Us Joy.
Unless she can finish her quilt in time to enter the county fair. The prize money would be just enough to open her shop. Determined and resourceful, Delia sets her sights on success—until her heart takes an unexpected detour when she meets handsome Clarence Parker.Bent on respectability, Clarence refuses to let his past get in the way of his future happiness, especially after falling for spirited Delia Truitt. But his hopes shatter when headlines declare members of his former gang have broken out of jail and are heading his way, set on revenge. Though Clarence doesn’t regret testifying against the outlaws, he fears his future with Delia is in jeopardy. Clarence will protect her from the killers, even if it means risking their future together.
Can Clarence keep her safe? And will Delia love him after she finds out about his past?
Purchase your copy at Amazon | Barnes & Noble
CC: What will fans of What Brings Us Joy love about your story and characters?
TW: I hope they can relate to the struggles and dilemmas Delia and Clarence go through.
CC: I definitely love how you have the storyline of Clarence’s past standing in the way. So many people struggle with the question of if people can really change.
How did this story develop and change from spark to finished book?
TW: At first, it was going to be a dual-timeline story, but before long, the contemporary story hit a dead-end, and the historical side went full speed ahead. So I dropped the modern story and focused on the 1895 time period. But I kinda went overboard! I ended up with two stories within one book, which doesn’t work! I had to decide which story spoke to me more, and said goodbye to the other half. I didn’t toss it out, though! Pieces of that version will show up in the next two books in the series.
CC: It’s so easy to make our first books have too much in them. I’m guilty of doing that even now! LOL
What is the most fascinating piece of research that shaped your story?
TW: I was captivated by all the snide jokes in newspapers toward women who spent time crazy quilting. It gave a good representation of 1890’s cultural view of women, for one thing. The condescension in those “jokes” made me cringe!
CC: Yeah. It was a tough season for women’s respectability.
Who was your favorite character to write? Why? Who was your least favorite? Why?
TW: Delia and Rabb were my favorites to write. I loved their banter. Writing that was very natural. Clarence was a little harder to write. I didn’t want him to come off too self-righteous, though he certainly is that. I also didn’t want his past to overshadow his current effort to live an ethical and honest way of life.
CC: That is definitely a hard balance.
What do you hope readers will take away from your story?
TW: I hope readers walk away knowing that people can change, with the help of the Lord.
CC: Amen.
I always like to end with a fun question so . . .
Which part of the roller coaster would you ride in: the front, middle or back? Why?
TW: The front! I need the full view of what lies ahead!
CC: LOL Sometimes I’m afraid to see what’s coming so kudos to you!
Readers, I hope you’ll check out What Brings Us Joy and then leave a review on Amazon, Goodreads, and/or BookBub. You wouldn’t believe how important that is to an author.
Reader, have you ever quilted or sewn anything? Are you any good or was it a disaster?
