In just a few days PLACE CALLED HOME (The Potter’s House Book #11) hits the shelves! I can’t wait to share Tessa and Nate’s story of healing, freedom, and redemption with you! Here’s the blurb:
All she wants is a settled place to call home.
He can’t wait to make home a life-long road trip.
All Tessa Chanson ever wanted was a stable place to call home. She thought she’d found that when she moved in with Jared–until his home became her prison. When his control escalates, the only answer is to escape–an escape that’s hampered when she falls and fractures her ankle.
While building his graphic design company, Nate Brooks is focused on the future he’s dreamed of: traveling around the country from the comfort of his renovated school bus. But when he picks up a wounded, mysterious hitchhiker, those well-laid plans take a backseat to protecting her.
Hobbled by her injury, Tessa fears she’ll never find freedom. Or has she found it with the family who graciously opens their home to her? And will Nate’s protection put his family–and his heart–at risk?
PLACE CALLED HOME is Book 11 of “The Potter’s House Books,” stories of love, hope, redemption, and second chances.
And, to pique your interest further, the hero, Nate Brooks, consented to giving a short interview:
Interviewer: Good afternoon and welcome to the Let’s Chat segment of The Minneapolis Moment. Today our special guest is Nathan Brooks representing the Our Home organization from the northern Minneapolis suburbs.
Thank you for joining us, Nathan. Could you tell the audience what Our Home is?
Nate: Well, first of all, call me Nate.
Interviewer: Nate it is. What can you tell me about Our Home?
Nate: Our Home is an organization, a ministry really, founded a couple years ago by my aunt and uncle that takes in homeless young adults and gives them important life skills, so they can live on their own.
Interviewer: Sounds like a very important ministry. What is your connection beyond family?
Nate: I volunteer there often, mostly training residents in computer skills. But God also tends to put young adults in my path that end up living at Our Home.
Interviewer: Interesting. Now that’s something I’d like to explore a little further. The grapevine tells me that you recently picked up a young hitchhiker. Is she now an Our Home resident?
Nate: (shakes his head) I can’t talk about that.
Interviewer: Understood. Then let’s go in a different direction. Tell our audience about yourself. What do you do for a living?
Nate: I’m a graphic designer. My goal is to work independently so that I can travel the country in my skoolie and really experience freedom.
Interviewer: What’s a skoolie?
Nate: It’s a school bus I’ve converted into an RV. (He grins) I call mine The Draken. Even painted a cool dragon on the side.
Interviewer: That sounds like a fun adventure. Is there anyone you’d like to bring along with you?
Nate: Maybe some friends, but for a short period only.
Interviewer: But no love interest? No romance on your horizon?
Nate: (laughs) Who has time for romance? I’m young. Being a bachelor is just fine with me!
Interviewer: My sources tell me that the hitchhiker you picked up has caught your eye. A spunky, curly-haired redhead. Have you given any thought of traveling with her?
Nate: (cheeks turn red, and he looks at the ground) I said, talking about her is off limits.
Interviewer: Hmmm, something tells me there’s more to her story—we’ll be keeping an eye you and this young woman, Nate!
If you’d like to find out if Nate and the young hitchhiker get together, PLACE CALLED HOME is on pre-order until September 11, and for only 99¢!

Long Way Home (The Potter’s House Books #4)
Hi Brenda, Nate and Tessa’s story sounds interesting, I look forward to checking it out:) Thanks for sharing an interview with Nate.
Blessings:)
Your book sounds fabulous. Having a character interview to read is something that I don’t remember experiencing before. It has piqued my interest. I pre-ordered your book. I am excited to read it.
Hi Brenda. Ordered Long Way Home. Fascinated by Nathan with the converted school bus and helping troubled teens. Can so relate. As a pastor and teacher’s family, we helped our share of teens and young adults. Had several live with us from a month to a year. Our youngest son is Nathan or Nate. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes. Enjoy the weekend.
Thank you for sharing!!
This looks so cute and I love the interview. Heading over to Amazon to order it!
Sounds good. Thank you for sharing.
Sounds amazing and I absolutely enjoyed the interview. Well done :)
You’re very welcome, Wemble! Thanks for reading Nate’s interview. :)
Cute interview! I really liked getting to know the characters more and can’t wait to check out your upcoming release!
Thank you, Louise! I hope you enjoy Nate & Tessa’s story!
I love sharing character interviews. I’ve found it’s a great way to introduce characters and show off their personalities without giving spoilers. :)
Happy reading!
Thank you, Renate, for being God’s hands and feet and opening up your home! Not an easy thing to do!
I hope you enjoy reading Nate’s stories. I initially “met” him when he was 13, so he’s grown up with me, and I’m quite fond of how well he’s grown up (especially after some rough times!)
You’re welcome, Paula Marie!
Thank you, Tracey! I hope you enjoy Nate & Tessa’s story!
You’re welcome, LucyReynolds! Thank you for stopping by!
Thank you, Irma J! I love sharing character interviews–they’re very fun to write. :)
Thank you, Chanel! It’s always a joy introducing my characters–it feels like I’m introducing family to new friends. :)
This sounds like a winner! I’m thankful for the kindle unlimited program!
Sherri G, I’m thankful for Kindle Unlimited as well! :) Happy reading!
We have the first book in this series in the Church Library.
Our readers are anxiously awaiting the second book.
Hope I win!
Oh, I LOVE hearing that! Thank you, Janet, and your church!
How wonderful that your church still has a library! In our area, the church library is becoming extinct, which is so sad. :(
Thank you so much sounds like a great book!
I know what you mean about church libraries becoming extinct. I know of one church library that had to close, even though it was being used, because they wanted the area for a coffee shop.
Our library is 75 years old and we have books for ages from 0-100. I volunteer in the library and have for 40 years, next year.
At one time, we were the biggest church library in the Southeast United States.
You’re welcome! Hope you have an opportunity to read it!
Just started the book and looking forward to meeting Nate!
This sounds very good. Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome, Connie! Thank you for visiting InspyRomance!
I loved the interview and the book.
I think a bus converted to an RV would be neat! I don’t want one, but I want to stay in one once at least!
Wow! Love that your library has lasted!
But how sad for a church closing a library for coffee. Makes my heart sad!
Thank you, Linda, for being such an encouraging supporter over the years! You are a blessing!
I completely agree! Definitely don’t want to live in one, but I could travel for a week or two. :)
I caught myself wondering how it would work to leave in a school bus and read some of the other comments. Like others have said, I don’t think I could do this.
Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoy their story!
I couldn’t do it either, Priscila! But a twenty-something bachelor could. :)
Yay Brenda! I’m so glad Nate got his own book. Can’t wait to read it.
I think you’ll enjoy seeing how he’s grown up, Shannon. :)
I’m intrigued!
That was a fun interview!
Wonderful! I hope you have the opportunity to read it!
Thank you, Laura! :)
On TBR list!
Thank you, Natalya! :)
